Reflexology - Healing the body through your feet!
Reflexology has been a complimentary therapy which was documented since the early 1900's however; there has been evidence of hand and foot therapy as far back as 4000 B.C. in China and Egypt.
Reflexology gained popularity in the 1917 when Dr. Fitzgerald co-authored the book Zone Therapy. Pressure and reflexing points within these zones would provide relief of aches and pains in the bones, muscles and organs of the body.
Reflexology is a natural healing therapy based on the principle that there are “reflex” points on the feet, hands or ears that correspond to every part of your body.
The reflexologist applies finger, thumb, and hand pressure to these areas on the feet, to influence the health of the corresponding organ or body part. Reflexology can assist in regaining or maintaining a healthier functioning body and assist the body’s own natural healing process.

Reflexology
Experiences with reflexology sessions vary from a general feeling of relaxation, to a sense of lightness or tingling in the body, as well as feelings of warmth, from the practitioner's pressure to the specific body area or organ.
There is often a physical perception of energy flowing through every organ, valve, gland, or muscle, as well as a sense of communication between each body system.
A Reflexology session with Laurena is like walking on clouds. My feet feel wonderful and my body is completely relaxed.

Craniosacral Reflexology
Craniosacral Reflexology (CSR) is a non invasive way of working with any head, neck, or spinal issues from the "little body in the feet" and has a profound effect on a variety of systems dysfunction, particularly in the sphere of trauma; including physical trauma, such as whiplash, concussions, falls, and extreme stress.
Benefits include: easing spinal discomfort, easing pressure off of spinal nerves, increasing flow of spinal/cranial fluid, helping with head injury symptoms and improving foot conditions related to muscular tension, ligament or bone injury.
CSR is a therapeutic method that combines the use of pressure on specific areas of the foot that relate to the 12 cranial nerves, as well as on the pulse of the cerebro spinal fluid (CSF) which surrounds the brain and spinal cord.
