How long is a treatment?
Generally, my Reflexology treatment lasts between 75 to 90 minutes and my Indi Head Massage lasts between 60 to 75 minutes. Reiki is generally 60 minutes. I do not set a time limit on my treatments; I let what the client needs dictate the amount of time required. My goal is to make sure the client receives the most helpful treatment possible. The initial appointment is longer to allow for the introductory intake process.
How often should I have a treatment?
Regular Reflexology treatments can assist the body in maintaining good health and correct slight imbalances before they become a problem.
For general health balance and maintenance:
1 treatment a month
For an acute condition such as bronchitis or the flu:
1 treatment a day until you improve
For a chronic condition such as arthritis or chronic fatigue:
1 treatment a week to manage symptoms
Indi Head Massage and Reki frequency are more in tune for when you feel the need to release stress, increase focus, relax and to re-align.
What are your treatments like?
Treatments are about you and for you. During the session, I stay concentrated, calm and open, in a state of awareness. I wish to create an environment of relaxation. The only expectation of you is to remove distractions from your mind as we spend treatment time together. Regardless of the treatment chosen, it is important to know that you as the client are always fully clothed.
Are these therapies safe?
Reflexology, Indi Head Massage and Reiki are completely safe. These are non-invasive, supportive therapies that engage the body systems to function in their highest state. I do ask that if you have had a recent major surgery or have active deep vein thrombosis, we refrain from Reflexology treatments at those times. If that is you, you may wish to choose one of my other therapies.
What might I feel during a treatment?
Any reaction during the session is associated with the fact we are stimulating the nervous system and releasing stress and toxins from the body.
What might I experience following a Reflexology or other treatment?
After a treatment you may experience some of these mild side effects:
Because of the ’pendulum effect’, any of these side effects are short-term and tend to subside quickly. Some things that I encourage you to do following your treatment to help eliminate toxins, to promote rest and repair are: drinking more water, taking an Epsom salt bath and getting a good night’s sleep. Most clients experience a deep restorative sleep the night following their treatment.
After an Indi Head Massage or Reiki treatment, you may feel a pleasant increased sensitivity, a relaxed calmness and an increased energy, awareness and focus.
Why would I choose Reflexology or Indi Head over a massage?
Both of these modalities treat specific areas different from ‘traditional’ massage therapy and with a unique focus. Reflexology uses reflex points on our feet to encourage our organs and body systems to function at their highest state and to effect natural homeostasis for optimal health. Reflexology can also determine areas that need additional support. Indi Head Massage specifically targets the dura and nerve endings of the scalp to promote blood flow, reduce tension and promote targeted relaxation and calm.
Can I have all 3 treatments in the same session?
It is not advisable to combine Reiki with Reflexology and/or Indi Head Massage. The amount of energy work, movement and release involved combining Reiki with another may be considered excessive. Indi Head Massage and Reflexology treatments together are fine and have been done.
Does Insurance cover your treatments?
While Reflexology is quickly becoming more recognized as a valuable therapy to promote wellness, many insurers still do not formally include this modality on their list of covered therapies. Check your schedule of covered therapies to be sure. However, if you have a health spending account in your plan, you can choose to apply the benefit to any of my treatments. I am happy to provide a receipt to you of which you can submit to your insurer.
Do you provide treatments at a client’s home?
In certain situations, I can travel to a client’s home for a treatment. I only offer Reflexology in a client’s home.
Do you have senior’s rates?
I do offer 10% off my rates for those 65 and over.
Do you offer packages rates?
Yes! If you are interested in purchasing multiple different treatments or many of the same, let me know and I will work with you!
