WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?

Reflexology is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. Reflexology is a serious advance in the health field and should not be confused with massage.


IS REFLEXOLOGY NEW?

The idea behind Reflexology is not new — in fact, it was practiced as early as 2330 B.C. by the Egyptian culture. Reflexology as we know it today was first researched and developed by Eunice Ingham, the pioneer of this field. Her first book on the subject was published in 1938. And since 1942, Reflexology workshops have been conducted year round.


WHAT DOES REFLEXOLOGY DO?

The Ingham Method® of Reflexology is used primarily for relaxing tension. Doctors agree that over 75% of our health problems can be linked to nervous stress and tension. Reflexology improves nerve and blood supply, and helps nature to normalize.


WHAT SPECIAL EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED?

Only the hands are used, making it a safe, simple, yet effective method without the use of gadgets. Let your fingers do the walking.


CAN REFLEXOLOGY MAKE A CONDITION WORSE?

No, it will not make any condition more acute. Reflexology helps to normalize body functions. A Reflexology session relaxes the stress that can affect your health. It is a safe effective way to Better Health.


DO YOU HAVE A SPA LOCATION?

We do not have a location, we come to your home, office or hotel in NYC.


HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE A REFLEXOLOGY SESSION?

For general relaxation purposes you may choose to have weekly, biweekly or monthly sessions.

For the purpose of improving or combating specific conditions you may want to have a session twice a week for a period of 5 weeks, and then as often as you feel necessary to maintain balance.


SHOULD I TIP MY REFLEXOLOGIST?

Tipping is at your discretion, in general if you choose to tip, then 15 to 20% of the service is normal practice.


IS REFLEXOLOGY OKAY DURING PREGNANCY?

Reflexology is fine after the first trimester as long as there are no complications. If you are unsure, you should ask your doctor. Tell your Reflexologist if you are pregnant, as we do not use essential oils during pregnancy.


WHAT DO I NEED TO PROVIDE?

Because we travel to your home, we utilize your space in the best possible way, and will figure out the logistics when we arrive. You will need to provide a towel of 40" by 30" or bigger.


IS IT OKAY TO READ OR WATCH TV WHILE HAVING MY SESSION?

As it is your time, you can talk, read watch TV etc. but we do recommend that you just relax while having your session to feel the benefits both during and after your session.
