Reflexology - Healing the body through your feet!
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive complementary therapy with roots that date back thousands of years. Historical evidence of hand and foot therapies has been found in ancient Chinese and Egyptian cultures as early as 4000 B.C.
In the early 1900s, Reflexology began to gain recognition in North America through the work of Dr. William Fitzgerald, who co-authored Zone Therapy in 1917. His research explored how applying pressure to specific points within designated zones of the body could help relieve discomfort and promote overall wellness.
Today, Reflexology is based on the principle that specific reflex points on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to organs, glands, and other parts of the body. By applying precise pressure techniques to these reflex points, a Reflexologist helps stimulate the body's natural healing processes, encourage relaxation, and support overall balance and well-being.
Many people seek Reflexology to help manage stress, reduce tension, improve circulation, support relaxation, and encourage the body to function more efficiently. As a holistic therapy, Reflexology works with the body's own natural ability to restore and maintain health.
Whether you are looking to relieve everyday stress, support your wellness journey, or simply enjoy a deeply relaxing experience, Reflexology offers a natural approach to helping you feel your best.

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.
