Aromatherapy combines traditional Swedish type massage with the use of essential oils. Essential oils are the pure "essence" of a variety of different plants and have been shown to provide both psychological and physical benefits. Essential oils are 100% natural and contain no added synthetic chemicals or perfumes. The combination of massage with the application of essential oils helps ease sore muscles, improve circulation, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.

Reflexology
Modern reflexology stems mainly from the work done by Dr. William
Fitzgerald in the 1900's, and Eunice Ingham in the 20th century.
Reflexology has its roots in the practice of healers of ancient Egypt,
Greece, and ancient China. It has been described as a specialized form of
massage applied to soles and sides of the feet.
It was the work done by Fitzgerald who first proposed the theory that the body was divided into zones and that these zones span the length of the body from head to toe. He proposed that the stimulation of certain areas on the soles of the feet in one zone could affect other parts of the the body in that same zone. This is somewhat analogous to the concepts of acupuncture meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
His work was continued by Ms Eunice Ingham who developed the "body chart". More commonly referred to as the "foot chart" today. The body chart was her attempt to show how the entire body was reflected in the soles and sides of both feet. These charts are used today in both the education and in the therapeutic application of reflexology. It is postulated that by stimulating certain areas of the feet that therapists can help relax and re-balance the body's energy system. In essence, allowing the body to heal and maintain itself.

What to expect from a session?
Most people report of feeling of lightness, relaxation, and renewed energy after a reflexology session. It is not uncommon for there to be some tenderness or discomfort as the therapists works out the tension and blockage throughout your feet.
Some of the current literature on reflexology suggest that it has it's effects by promoting relaxation, reducing chronic stress, and nervous tension. It's this sense of relaxation that is postulated to produce it's global effects throughout the body. The purpose of reflexology is not to diagnose or treat specific medical conditions.
