The core function of reflexology is to calm the mind and bring about balance or homeostasis to the body.

Whether the child/adult comes with a Physical, Developmental, Behavioural/Emotional or Sensory Impairment/need the primary focus is always the same   - To create a safe space that is calm and restful.  - To always apply a person-centered approach.  - To allow the person to feel in control of their environment.  - To always feel free to stop the treatment or leave at any time.

Using regular reflexology which is non-invasive, gentle, and safe, the aim is to relieve any tension, induce a state of relaxation, improve mood and support the individuals’ well-being. 

During the treatment the child or adult experiences a release of endorphins or “happy hormones” which helps to boost general well-being. It may encourage them to be calmer and help them to prepare for ongoing activities such as schooling or recreational pursuits.  ​

For this treatment, a parent or guardian must complete and sign the consent/consultation forms and remain in the room during the treatment.
