What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a non-invasive touch therapy that is used mainly on the hands, feet and lower leg which can be key in promoting and optimising good health.

Reflexology is a very soothing therapy that can really help to unblock the flow of energy in the reproductive organs to help rebalance hormones and regulate the menstrual cycle.
