Practicing Reflexology in Wester Ross
Welcome to my website - and, perhaps, to the world of Reflexology itselfI live with my wife Val, two children and countless animals by Loch Maree - a location from which I cover the whole of Wester Ross. Essentially this means from Dundonnell in the north to Lochcarron in the south and all stops in between - Laide, Aultbea, Gairloch, Kinlochewe, Achnasheen, Torridon and Shieldaig to name a few. I travel to Easter Ross and Inverness too.
Reflexology is similar in principle to Acupuncture but involves no needles and works using the feet and, sometimes, the hands. Picture your body as a highly sophisticated organic computer. Most of the time it is able to sort out problems as they arise and keep your body systems in balance - and you, healthy. On occasion, however, your organic computer needs some help from an organic IT consultant - a Reflexologist!
Now imagine your feet as the keyboard for your body's computer. By manipulating that keyboard a Reflexologist can input instructions and send messages to all parts of the body and help to get your body systems back on track and help your body to heal itself.
Self-healing is always our aim. Most of the time your body can manage this exceptionally well; sometimes, however, it needs a little outside help. That's where I come in!
Reflexology is 'Cause' rather than 'Symptom' based. Let us suppose that you experience regular headaches, for example. Conventional medicine may prescribe you with painkillers to treat your symptoms. A Reflexologist will try to get to the root of your headaches and establish WHY you experience them, and then work to alleviate them from within.
It is safe, pleasant and therapeutic and - of huge relevance and importance - does not involve prescribing the patient any form of medication. In fact, I find that I have to treat many of my clients as much for the side-effects produced by prescribed medication as for a core condition!
Reflexology is best practiced in conjunction with conventioal Medicine. Hence, it is described as a 'Complementary' therapy. I am NOT a Doctor myself but I have a Professional Practitioners Certificate in Advanced Clinical Reflexology, have lectured in the subject at UHI Moray College and carry Professional Insurance.
I work largely on a mobile basis and bring all of the necessary equipment with me - ie: special reclining chair, stool, creams/sprays, towels etc. I also offer treatments at a number of local hotels.
Reflexology can be beneficial to all manner of conditions - major and minor, and for animals as well as people - but is also deeply relaxing and therapeutic even to those in 'perfect' health.
I see the benefits of treatment every day and am passionate about my work. Please read on and find out more about Reflexology as a therapy and just some of the conditions for which it can be beneficial. Then, if you are interested, please contact me, as I may very well be able to help.
