Reflexology is a gentle, non invasive therapy that encourages the body to balance and heal itself. It involves applying finger or thumb pressure to the hands, feet or face. These points are called 'reflexes' and they mirror the organs, structures and glands in the body as well as a person's emotional health. 

The body and its systems are mapped out on the hands, feet and face and can be used to encourage holistic healing. 'Holistic' is derived from the Greek word holos meaning 'whole'. Reflexology is a holistic therapy based on the idea that health is the result of harmony between the body, mind and spirit.
