Welcome to The Reflex Den in Whitton; Reflexology and Massage for health, relaxation and renewal
Welcome to The Reflex Den, my name is Sara.
I am a fully qualified Reflexologist, based in Whitton, Greater London. I trained at Hammersmith Hospital, achieving a Level 3 ITEC Diploma and am also a member of the Association of Reflexologists and CNCH.
I have since extended my experience by training in Facial Reflexology, Hand Reflexology and Natural Face Lift Massage. I have also completed a course to ease symptoms of Menopause through Reflexology.
I also volunteer at the Mulberry Centre, a cancer support centre, at West Middlesex Hospital and Meadow House Hospice at Ealing Hospital, providing reflexology treatments for people affected by cancer. Following on from this I have now acquired a qualification in cancer care reflexology from Butterfly Touch Therapies.
Reflexology is a holistic therapy that is a relaxing way to maintain the body's balance and general well-being. It helps to reduce stress, improve circulation and can assist in managing many health conditions. By applying gentle pressure to areas of the feet or hands a Reflexologist can help the body restore its own healthy balance. Evidence has been found for some form foot and hand therapy being practised in China and Egypt more than four thousand years ago.
Reflexology aims to treat the individual as a whole, creating a state of harmony in both body and mind. It has the benefit of also being a deeply relaxing therapy, and during periods of relaxation the body takes the opportunity to heal, restore and energise itself.
Reflexology is suitable for all ages, from baby to adult, and can be especially helpful for long-term and recurring conditions. Reflexology does not diagnose and does not cure though; as a complementary therapy it should not be considered an alternative to conventional medicine.
Natural Lift Facial Massage incorporates a unique blend of Japanese and Indian facial massage techniques. These techniques help to repair and balance the condition of the skin and its completion, remove toxins, stimulate muscle tone and increase blood circulation in the face. It's also a very relaxing hollistic therapy.
Reflexology is a wonderful way of maintaining your body's healthy balance and general wellbeing, reducing the stresses and tensions that come with busy lifestyles and giving us a space to reflect on the mind as well as the body.
Reflexology can induce a deep state of relaxation, which improves the effectiveness of the treatment. Relaxing helps relieve tension and aids circulation, increasing the flow of nutrients, oxygen and energy to all parts of the body, and helping with the removal of toxins.
While it is not a cure, Reflexology can be particularly helpful in managing many health conditions, especially constant or recurring ones that we might have come to accept over time as being a normal part of life.

Everyone is different and the response to Reflexology can be immediate or sometimes take longer than one appointment, but often benefits can be seen after 4-5 sessions. Regular weekly treatments are best for the body properly beginning the self-healing process, and following an initial consultation I will suggest the number of Reflexology sessions I think we should undertake.

Reflexologists cannot claim to diagnose or cure, but during a treatment we get 'feedback' as to which parts of the body are working well and which are not. Sometimes Reflexology will highlight a specific area which is struggling or working hard to maintain your wellbeing; if a particular reflex point shows this kind of reaction I'll discuss it with you at the end of the session.
Reflexology is performed entirely on the feet, ankles or hands, so the most you’ll have to do is take off your socks and roll up your trousers! During the treatment the client lies on their back on a reclining chair, supported by pillows and covered with a soft blanket to keep them warm.
And don’t worry - reflexology doesn't tickle! Many clients come to me with ticklish feet or worried about their feet being touched, but find they can relax and enjoy the benefits of Reflexology.
The Natural Face Lift Massage includes work on the shoulders and neck and so shoulders will need to be bare. Towels are provided for cover.
You might find some areas feel sensitive to the touch, but Reflexology does not involve hard pressing in the way something like a sports massage might. As a therapist I will be aware of the status of your feet, noticing how they feel, the temperature and colour. All these things play a part in understanding which areas of your body - as reflected through your feet - require a bit more care and attention.
Not necessarily, but after an initial course of treatment many people choose to check in monthly for a top-up, to help maintain their general wellbeing, or as a scheduled 'de-stress'. Other clients will get back in touch if they start feeling aches and pains, arranging treatments as and when they need them.
