Reflexology and Relaxation Massage
Clare Gemmell Wholistic Health
RN. dip. Reflexology and Relaxation Massage RNZ
I am committed to my clients and have a passion for natural holistic healthcare.
I offer reflexology and relaxation massage treatment. Whether your needs are relaxation, stress relief, general health maintenance, preventative healthcare or the treatment of a health problem, I offer a full consultation and specialized treatment designed just for you.
Reflexology has been used for several thousand years, drawing on ancient practices from Egypt, India, China and Greece.
It is a gentle, non invasive therapy that activates the body's own healing and cleansing mechanisms, allowing energy to flow and balance to be restored, which brings about a state of health and well being.
It is an effective and enjoyable way to well being that can benefit anyone, of any age.
Reflexology is based on the principle that body organs and structures are mirrored in the feet, hands and in the ears, and by using specific pressure with my thumbs and fingers on the feet, hands and ears, it encourages the body to heal itself, tensions are eased, circulation, elimination and immune function is improved.
Reflexology can help many conditions and is recognized as an effective complementary or alternative therapy, which has numerous supporting case studies including:
-Anxiety -Irritable bowel syndrome
-Sleep disorders -PMT
-Infertility -Menopause
-Depression -Constipation
-Pregnancy -Diabetes
-Post natal care -Aches and pains
It is particuarly beneficial for stress related disorders: The American Medical Association has stated that 85% of all illness is stress related.
Reflexology is not used to diagnose conditions and it complements conventional medicine, rather than being an alternative to it.
