Question 1

What can I expect during my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Prior to your first appointment, you will receive an online health intake form to complete, which will be used for wellness planning. When you arrive for your reflexology treatment, you can expect a calming atmosphere designed to promote relaxation and healing. Unlike traditional massages where disrobing is common, for foot reflexology, you only need to remove your socks, ensuring a comfortable and non-invasive experience. You'll be comfortably positioned on a reflexology table and offered an eye pillow for added comfort, relaxation, and to block out light. During your session, gentle pressure will be applied to specific points on your feet, corresponding to various organs and systems in the body, aiming to alleviate tension, improve circulation, and restore balance. While there may be some tenderness, anticipate a deeply soothing experience as you recline in a tranquil environment, allowing the therapeutic benefits of reflexology to take effect.

Question 2

What should I wear to my reflexology session?

Accepted Answer

Get cozy! Wearing pants that comfortably roll up to the knees is ideal, but not necessary. If you are receiving foot reflexology, the only clothing you need to remove is your socks.

Question 3

What should I do after a reflexology session?

Accepted Answer

After a rejuvenating reflexology session, it's essential to continue nurturing yourself! Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and allow the healing energies to flow. I recommend planning a calm day after your treatment and allowing space for rest. Detoxification is possible and a necessary part of healing. You can read more about detoxification below. Remember, self-care is key to maintaining that post-reflexology bliss! If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out.

Question 4

What is detoxification?

Accepted Answer

Detoxification is your body's natural way of removing toxins. Wellness therapies like reflexology support the process of releasing toxins as a way of working towards overall balance in the body. Possible detox reactions you may notice after a session may include increased/darker urination, bloating, nausea, rash, headache or fatigue. These responses should not last more than 48 hours.

Question 5

What qualifications and certifications do you have?

Accepted Answer

As a certified reflexology therapist and registered member of the Reflexology Association of Canada, I adhere to a rigorous standard of practice, ensuring the highest quality of care for my clients. This means that I can provide receipts for insurance purposes, making your reflexology sessions more accessible and beneficial. In addition to my qualifications in reflexology, I hold a master's degree from the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine, and I bring over 20 years of experience in the social work field to my practice. My commitment to personal and professional development is further demonstrated through my role at the Haven Centre for Transformational Learning, where I value the opportunity to contribute to the well-being of others.
