Reflexology with Jessica Yates:
Reflexology is based on the premise that there are reflex points in the hands, feet and ears corresponding via nerve pathways of the nervous system (Western Medicine) and/or meridians (Eastern Medicine) to every part, organ and gland of the body.
Reflexology reduces stress automatically during a session, causing chemical changes to occur at the cellular level throughout the body. Through systematic pressure and stimulation of these reflexes, the body is assisted to return to natural functioning. In the process, endorphins (natural pain-killers) are released, para-sympathetic relaxation of the nervous system takes place, increased blood and lymphatic circulation results in increases in oxygen and immune levels all of which help to restore balance to all the systems of the body.

What Can I Expect?
Reflexologists do not diagnose, prescribe or treat for specific conditions and should not be used as a substitute for necessary medical treatment. They treat the whole person often working together with other medical and complementary therapies to achieve the best results for the client.
Technique should be firm but not painful taking into consideration that tenderness and tension usually denote congestion in the area and corresponding part of the body.
Sessions usually last 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Who Should have Reflexology done?
Anyone can enjoy reflexology. If you have a specific health concern, please discuss it with Jessica during your appointment. It is not required to have a health condition to benefit from reflexology: it's a wonderful way to feel better and gain a sense of health and well-being. People usually feel a sense of inner calm and more energy as a result of their sessions.
Choosing a Reflexologist
It is important when choosing a Reflexologist to choose one as you would choose any other professional. Reflexologists are trained and certified practitioners holding memberships in both provincial and national associations. These Associations require they follow a strict code of ethics and conduct along with professional standards of practice. Jessica Yates is a memeber of the Reflexology Association of Canada (RAC), the only non-profit federally chartered National Association.
