Frequently Asked Questions about Reflexology 

What the heck is reflexology?

Well I have a whole page on that right here. In short it is the belief that there are mini-maps of your entire body on your feet hands and ears and by applying specific touch we can access the whole body invoking healing and relaxation.

Basically we reboot your central nervous system and calm you down so you can enjoy your life again.

Why would I want a reflexology session?

Because it rocks! Because it is the most relaxing thing ever! Because it puts you into that Zen-state where miracles enter, epiphanies happen, and deep cellular healing takes place. Because your feet deserve your appreciation and some respect and love. Here is a whole list of benefits!

Do I have to get naked to get reflexology?

Nope, no clothing removal required. I am working on your feet, hands and/or ears so the only thing you need to take off are shoes and socks, hats and mittens.

If we are doing a foot pain focused session, I will also need you to be able to push your pants up above the knee.

Is Nail Polish okay?

Yes, but don’t feel the need to decorate your feet or get a pedicure before visiting me… that is completely unnecessary. Although I do love color, bring your feets however they are.

Do you do a foot soak?

Sometimes… In the space I often just get right to work, but please if you want one, ask and I will be happy to oblige.

What if my feet smell?

Well we can soak them, we can wash them with hot towels, or we use lots of aromatherapy to heal/de-stress you and make things smell yummy.

Don’t let stinky feet prevent you from getting a treatment! Smelly feets are easy to make nice.

What if my feet are ugly?

Oi! Feets aren’t ugly and they work so hard for us that they need the love and appreciation reflexology can give them! Don’t be embarrassed, I have seem some broken down feet and never found a pair that I think are ugly, or are too messed up to work on.

Toe Nail Fungus?

Is pretty common and does not effect your reflexology session. Feel free to come in and get a treatment, in fact it might even help make it go away cause I can ramble on all day about what to do, as demonstrated here in blog posts.

What about Athlete’s foot?

Well if the athlete’s foot is all over your foot we won’t be working on you today. The only reason is we don’t want to make it mad or spread it other places. Most people only get athlete’s foot between their toes. Come in, as we can easily avoid that area. Here are some other suggestions.

Does reflexology hurt?

Everybody’s experience and every practitioner are different. Yes sometimes reflexology hurts. My form of reflexology is deeply nurturing, I am light to the touch and only go deep when your body allows me, making the session relaxing and healing as we never force your body to change, only open the space to allow it change.

If you are coming in for a session around foot pain, well you are already in pain so I can safely say we won’t make it any worse than it has been. Most clients feel great relief after. But there might be a bit of pain, as we kind of have to have strong conversations with your bones and muscles coaxing them back to a relaxed state.

More Awesome About Reflexology

96% of all illness and pain in the body is caused by stress.

There are many ways to access the healing power of your body, and reduce stress.

Reflexology is the most successful, consistent, and profound method I have found to do this.

Located in each foot are 7200 nerve endings and a map of your entire body.

Reflexology works to re-establish communication systems of the body through the nervous system.

Research has shown that when pain is chronic, nerve pathways build up deposits and stop communicating, registering as pain.

Reflexology breaks down these deposits, re-establishes communication, reduces stress and stops the pain cycle.

You have a divine gift and I hope you share it with many people. I have seen a number of reflexologists and never felt that way. Blessings! ~j.martin

Reflexology Sessions

Reflexology sessions are designed around the issues you would like to solve within your body, mind, and/or spirit.

Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes. If you end up snoring I take it as compliment.

Your first session for foot pain is always 90 minutes. This is so I can do a thorough intake and teach you some exercises to do at home. Foot pain reflexology sessions are designed to resolve and prevent foot pain. This can be pain from injury, life, or origins unknown.

Resolving foot pain typically takes 4-8 sessions over a two month period of time, with quarterly “tune-ups” to maintain and strengthen foot structure.

Cost is $80 for hour, $110 for 90 minutes. Discounts apply when buying packages.
