Relax with Reflex

Pamela Nish

My role as a professional health practitioner is to provide Therapeutic Reflexology Treatments & Massage Treatments to help clients achieve better health naturally.

To work alongside and to enhance their existing medical treatments.

I practice a holistic approach to my work and also like to share effective self-help skills to empower clients to assist with their healing processes.

I practice in my clinic as well as attending homes for those unable to get to my clinic. I also give treatments at Retirement Villages in the comfort of the clients own home

What is a Reflexologist's role within the Integrated Health Care System?

• Reflexology is a complementary therapy rather than an alternative therapy and works in conjunction with other medical treatments and integrative therapies.


• Reflexologists are trained to specifically work on reflexes suited to the individual client. Addressing specific reflexes can promote faster activation of homeostasis within the body.


• Professional Reflexologists not only train in Reflexology but other areas such as Anatomy & Physiology,


• Lymphatic Drainage, Body Systems, MuscloSkeletal Anatomy, Cross Fibre Mobilisation before they can gain professional qualifications.


• A Reflexologist will at all times look for contraindications and will STOP treatment if necessary.


• Reflexologists are not Doctors and do not interfere with medications, nor do they diagnose specific conditions.
  Professional Reflexologists are bound by a Code of Ethics set up by our professional body - Reflexology Association of Australia (RAoA).

Reflexology

A step in the right direction for health and balance.

Reflexology is a holistic, non invasive modality which complements other therapies and modern medicine from conception to aged care.

Reflexology is the application of pressure and soothing techniques to the areas of feet, hands, face and ears. Amputees may also benefit from Reflexology.

How does It work?

Reflexology stimulates the circulation to restore energy flow which helps clear blockages which may have occurred due to stress, toxins, illness, emotions and injury.

Reflexology has been a part of human life for over 3000 years and is once again becoming part of health care systems around the world.

The Proven Benefits of Reflexology are:

• Reduces stress


• Balances the nervous system


• Boosts lymphatic function


• Improves circulation


• Detoxifies the body


• Enhances the body's natural healing process


• Balances all body systems
