Reflexology is a treat for people of all ages

Specific points (known as reflex zones) found on the hands, ears and feet are either stimulated or sedated to encourage your body to self-regulate and heal. This ancient natural therapy is deeply relaxing, requires no undressing (apart from shoes and socks) and is a real treat for people of all ages, from babies to the young-at-heart. So give it a go, you never know!

​Reflexology can help you to:


  • ease digestion

  • manage pain

  • facilitate sleep

  • uncoil the tight knots in your neck and spine

  • ease PMS or hormonal imbalances

  • calm a racing mind or feel grounded

  • help knee and shoulder issues

  • boost your energy levels

  • speed up your detox

  • and much more!


​However...
Please note that reflexology is unsuitable if you have the following:


  • deep vein thrombosis

  • cellulitis

  • an unstable pregnancy, especially in the 1st trimester or history thereof

  • a fever or infectious disease

  • just eaten a heavy meal


If you are unsure about your suitability to having a reflexology treatment, please check with your medical practitioner.



About Lucy

It all started in Berlin in the 90's when I was an au pair. I was about to move to Paris and my host family gave me a few sessions with a reflexologist as a leaving present. My head was full of to-do lists so time out and relaxation just weren't on the agenda. However, I did go and see the reflexologist and was amazed and intrigued that she could tell me so much about the state of my health via my feet, and so I somehow left her little clinic feeling much more relaxed about the imminent move - a suprising outcome...

A few months later in Paris I came across a book written by Mireille Meunier-Roux a Heilpraktikerin (German for female naturopath) who had used reflexology extensively in Berlin but was now based in Paris....only a few metro stations away...

It was one of those "full circle" moments when I knew I had to further investigate this intriguing health option. I signed up for her workshop and a couple of her year long courses. And when I then moved to Grenoble I was lucky enough to train with Virginie Kergresse (trained by Besty Shands, who herself was trained by Dwight Byers - nephew of the founder of modern reflexology, Eunice Ingham). So when I moved to Sydney it was only natural I would seek out further training; and the rest as they say is history.

Over the years I have been called upon to help friends, family and work colleagues with various common health complaints such as torticollis, painful wisdom teeth, constipation, stress and overthinking, weak bladder, insomnia, colic in babies, stiff shoulders, and post-op knees. It is my wish that you too will benefit from this deceptively simple healing technique.

I am absolutely passionate about the benefits of reflexology and therefore aim to keep abreast of current thinking within the field by attending post graduate courses and reading and watching anything I can about the subject!

Reflexology is gaining ground as a serious, cost-effective option in our quest for health and is very popular in China, Denmark and the UK, where the percentage of people going for treatments is increasing year on year. Australia benefits from its close proximity to Asia where reflexology may have been sampled whilst overseas on holiday or business as a great way of relaxing, however real health benefits are now being researched and documented and it is this aspect that I am keen to promote when I meet clients.
