REFLEXOLOGY

Balancing the body by massaging pressure points on the feet thus stimulating the bodies own natural healing processes.

Reflexology is a method for activating the healing powers of the body. It is both old and new. From ancient texts we know that the early Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Russians and Egyptians worked on the feet to promote good health.

North American Indian tribes knew the relationship between the reflex points and the internal organs of the body and used this knowledge to treat disease. It is still used in Indian reservations.

An American physiotherapist, Eunice Ingham, became interested in this method and used zone therapy work with her patients, she mapped the entire body onto the feet and discovered that an alternating pressure on the various points had therapeutic affects and so reflexology was born.
Reflexology reduces stress and induces deep relaxation, improves circulation, cleanses the body of toxins and impurities, balances the whole system and revitalizes energy.

Reflexology is preventative health care.
It unblocks the energy centres so that the body returns to its natural rhythms. With the energy flowing the body, mind and spirit are brought back into balance.

Linda has led a varied life, training in administration after leaving school, working in a number of towns, cities and countries. Linda joined the Army and worked with the Royal Signals in Communications for a while before returning to England on marriage and working for the BBC at Pebble Mill, Birmingham.

After a life-changing experience, Linda moved to Oakham, Rutland, for a while before returning to her native Cleveland on her own.

After meeting her partner, Philip, she decided to try an Aromatherapy massage course in order to help a condition suffered by Philip. The course opened up a whole new world in 1994 which started with a Body Massage Course, three Aromatherapy Courses, Anatomy & Physiology, Reflexology, Indian Head Massage and Reiki. Linda now practises these therapies from her home in New Marske, Cleveland.

Linda's latest course in May 2000 was a Trainer's Workshop with Gill Edwards in the Lake District at Rydal. Since then, Linda has been running her own Workshops e.g.
'Stress Busting with Oils'; and 'Control The Flow' - an incontinence workshop using metaphysics, reflexology and exercises.
