Face Reflexology

Our health is influenced by our physical, hormonal and emotional state. Face reflexology has undergone long trials that show that the treatment addresses imbalances in these areas, with positive influences on our physical wellbeing. It is a deeply relaxing therapy designed to assess the underlying causes of any health discomforts, as well as treating the symptoms.

Face reflexology is a unique holistic health therapy developed by Lone Sorensen over the course of the last 25 years. It is a new generation treatment that combines up to date neuro-anatomy with traditional oriental medicinal knowledge of the energy meridians and acupuncture points and techniques used by South American Indians.

Using only hands and a light rosehip cream or oil, the treatment incorporates precise stimulation of acupressure points, neurological points and body maps on the face. This stimulation sends impulses through the body’s central nervous system (CNS) to specific organs and parts of the body - to increase blood circulation, lymphatic drainage and rebalance the body’s chemistry. Our understanding is that the close proximity of the brain and the CNS to the stimuli in the face encourages the body to respond more quickly.

Face reflexology stimulates the body to respond on a physical, emotional and energy level. Conditions which have responded well to treatment include, but are not limited to: hormonal imbalances, anxiety, insomnia, migraines, muscle tension, poor memory and stress related conditions.

Feel good and look good
Face Reflexology combines looking good with feeling good. As the treatment stimulates the nerves, muscles and tissues of the face, as well as stimulating the micro-circulation, it encourages the build-up of new tissue and helps to improve the muscle tone. The result is a softer, glowing complexion.

How long does a treatment last?
The treatment lasts about an hour (although it’s good to leave a little extra time for the first session, so that your past and present health and lifestyle can be discussed) and leaves you feeling deeply relaxed, with an improved sense of wellbeing.

How many treatments will I need?
Every treatment stimulates the body’s healing process. So the number of treatments required to address a particular condition depends on the underlying state of health and physical wellbeing of the individual. A course of treatment may be recommended and can be discussed with your practitioner.

As with foot reflexology, if you simply want to de-stress through deep relaxation, then an occasional or monthly treatment can work wonders. But for more specific concerns, a course of weekly or fortnightly treatments might be more beneficial.
