HOLISTIC THERAPIES

A holistic approach seeks an optimal well-being not just the absence of disease. Instead of focusing on a body part or ailment, it aims to balance the whole body: physical, mental and emotional.

Most of us can deeply resonate with the pressures of daily life. All too often being under periods of long-term stress can affect us in various ways, usually wearing us down, leaving us mentally drained and physically exhausted, even making us ill.

Holistic therapies can provide a time and space to switch off from chronic stress and relieve tensions. Reducing chronic stress in our lives can be key in optimising good health and building resilience.

The only way to know how reflexology and other therapies will help you is to try them!

I believe that holistic therapies are part of an integrative health system, where the different layers are treated, and for that we might need different modalities and techniques. Therefore, I am happy to work with other health professionals, conventionals or complementary.

"Stress is a complicated cascade of physical and biochemical responses to powerful emotional stimuli." ~ Dr Gabor Mate

REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is a gentle and relaxing way to support the body to return to its natural balance. By working on reflex points and reflex areas on feet, hands, face or ears, it helps the whole body to move towards a state of wellbeing.

Reflexology is...

... non-invasive - clients remain fully clothed, they only need to remove socks/tights to access feet and lower legs.

... holistic - mind, body and spirit are all taken into consideration and treatments don't target conditions but aim to alleviate the symptoms and find the cause of the imbalance.

... complementary and therapy - treatments work well alongside conventional medicine and other therapies.

... suitable for all and every age.

Reflexology can benefit the whole body by promoting deep relaxation, reducing stress and tension, restoring energy levels, improves sleep patterns, increasing circulation, releasing endorphins, enhancing mood and wellness.

BUT it is NOT an alternative to conventional medicine, a diagnostic tool or a cure.

"The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art." ~ Leonardo da Vinci

NATUROPATHY

Naturopathy is a system of health care which promotes the body’s own self-healing mechanism. It uses natural therapies such as nutrition, herbal medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, physical manipulations, hydrotherapy and other modalities, in accordance with Naturopathic Principles:

The Healing Power of Nature
The body can heal itself, given the right condition and treatment. There is a ‘Vital Force’ which is stimulated to promote health.
Treat the Cause, not a symptom
Identify the underlying cause of illness rather than eliminating (suppressing) symptoms.
Treat the Whole Person
Recognise a patient’s uniqueness by taking into account individual physical, mental, genetic, environmental, social and other factors.
Prevention is preferable to cure
Prevention is preferable to cure in order to keep the Vital Force at its optimum at all times.
Education
Naturopaths educate their patients by bringing a better understanding of health, how to maintain it and how to avoid getting sick. This way patients can take responsibility for themselves.

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." ~ Albert Einstein

KIND WORDS

Super consultation with Cristina who took the time to talk through my ailments (shoulder & knee pain on right side of body). Very friendly she creates a relaxed and trusting atmosphere, and is a great listener.

Following the treatment have been regularly using the Aromareflex cream and roller. Noticeable improvements include lessening of severity of pain, greater range of movement during exercise, reduced tension.

Cream is easy to apply, absorbed quickly and smells great. Also loved the personalisation of the product with my name on the tin.

Would highly recommend consultation with Cristina and use of the Aromareflex products.
