Saturdays February 11th, 18th, 25th & March 3rd or April 28th, May 5th, 12th & 26th, 2012     Reflexology is based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas in the feet, hands and ears which correspond to all of the parts, organs, glands and systems of the body. Application of gentle pressure on these reflexes, using precise thumb, finger and hand techniques reduces stress, increases circulation and returns the body to balance. Reflexology alleviates tension by clearing crystalline deposits under the skin which impede the natural flow of the body's energy. When these crystals are cleared the body begins eliminating stored toxins that it was unable to process previously. Finish the treatment with a relaxing foot massage.
