Welcome to tinahughes reflexology
Discover the ancient healing art of reflexology—a gentle, non-invasive therapy designed to support your body’s natural balance, reduce stress, and promote deep relaxation.
Rooted in traditions from ancient Egypt, India, and China, reflexology is a time-tested complementary therapy recognised today by the NHS, GPs, and hospices for its health and wellness benefits.
What Is Reflexology?
Reflexology is based on the principle that all body organs, glands, and systems are reflected in the feet, hands, and ears—known as reflex points.
Each foot contains over 7,000 nerve endings connected to your body’s internal systems.
Using gentle pressure techniques with thumbs and fingers, signals are sent through the nervous system to the brain, stimulating the body’s healing processes.
How Can Reflexology Help You?
Reflexology is suitable for people of all ages and life stages and may help with a wide range of conditions, both physical and emotional.
Just a few of the potential benefits:
*Reduces stress and anxiety
*Boosts the immune system
*Improves circulation
*Aids digestion
*Balances hormones
*Can support fertility
*Helps eliminate toxins
*Promotes deep relaxation
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Your first session includes a free consultation, during which we’ll discuss your needs, lifestyle, and any relevant health conditions. Based on this, I’ll create a tailored treatment plan just for you.
Here’s how the session works:
- You’ll be asked to fill in a short GDPR and consent form.
- Please wear loose, comfortable clothing.
- You’ll only need to remove your shoes and socks.
- You’ll relax on a massage couch or Lafuma reclining chair—whichever you prefer.
- I’ll begin by cleansing your feet and applying a natural balm.
- Then, I’ll use my hands to apply gentle but effective pressure to your feet and lower legs.
Some areas may feel more sensitive—this is normal and can indicate areas of imbalance. Most people find the experience deeply calming and even energising.

Healthcare Benefit Plans & Reflexology

It’s a good idea to check your individual policy to see if you’re eligible to claim back part or all of the cost of your reflexology sessions.
If you need any documentation or receipts for your insurance provider, please don’t hesitate to ask.
