Hypnotherapy – Positive solutions, take back control

We all admire happy, motivated, confident and energetic people.  When we use our intellectual brain we produce serotonin and other chemicals and hormones which control our well being.  This leads to a happier outlook, healthy eating and enjoyable exercise, so we too can be that person we so admire and want to be.

The pressures of life can get on top of us, sometimes the strain starts to tell in our work and family lives, or we just get used to living negatively. The typical symptoms include having difficulty getting to sleep, waking during the night and not being able to get back to sleep, or not being able to wake easily and still being tired and low.

We start to accept our situation thinking it is normal, unaware that we can change ourselves at very little cost and in a relative short period of time. We can suffer from stress, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, depression and many other illnesses, all of which can disturb our normal sleep patterns, making the cycle difficult to break.

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is an ancient healing therapy dating back thousands of years. The earliest evidence of people having treatments on their feet for health purposes dates back to Egypt 3000BC, when a tomb painting was discovered near Cairo . The method of using pressure points on the hands and feet to heal the body has been used in China for thousands of years, and continues to be an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine today.

While this ancient art has helped people in all parts of the world for centuries, it is relatively new to the Western world. From the 1930's, Eunice Ingham in the United States made it her life's work to research and develop the Reflexology Foot chart that we use today. Today her teachings continue in the International Institute of Reflexology, and in the UK the Association of Reflexologists (AoR) keep its members up to date with health issues and research and abides by a strict code of conduct and ethics.
