REFLEXOLOGY - Alexa Grier CHMT

Reflexology, or Zone Therapy, is an ancient  holistic Chinese healing art, that utilizes pressure points on the feet, hands and ears, to achieve improved health and well being. Reflexology is based on the principle that there are points on the hands feet and ears that correspond to every gland, organ and body part. The vital energy force, Qi, that runs through channels or meridians, throughout the body, can be blocked or compromised, preventing healing. Many of these points begin or end at the finger tips and toes. The application of pressure on various points, can enervate and balance the Qi. There are also 7,200 nerve endings in a foot, making it one of the most sensitive parts of the body. Toxins and fatigue can settle in the feet especially, but manipulation, coupled with the application of pressure on various reflex points, can be profoundly relaxing, while improving circulation, dispersing toxins,  and promoting the natural balanced function of related organs and body parts.

 I incorporate reflexology into every massage, as I believe it is an essential technique for achieving deep stress relief, and improved circulation.

I also offer a 45 minute reflexology treatment, which affects the whole body system very positively. Reflexology was one of the first alternative modalities that I studied, and remains one of my most favorite to apply and to receive.
