Welcome to Emma Dean Reflexology

My name is Emma Dean and I am a reflexologist based in Medmenham, between Henley-on-Thames and Marlow, in Buckinghamshire. My passion for reflexology started in 2012 when I had the best night’s sleep I’d had in years following a treatment. As an insomniac, this was a big deal to me!


Since then, my interest in complementary therapies has grown and, over a 28 year career in the pharmaceutical industry, I’ve seen for myself the benefits of using complementary therapies, including reflexology, alongside conventional medicine. In July 2015, I made the leap and qualified as a Reflexologist, with a Level 3 Diploma in Reflexology (Grade: Distinction) and Anatomy and Physiology. This course allowed me full membership of the Association of Reflexologists, where I am governed by their strict code of practice and ethics. I am also fully insured.

Since qualifying, I have undertaken post graduate courses in Reflexology for Female Conditions, Intuitive Reflexology, Reflexology for Infertility, Reflexology for Digestive Health and Reflexology Techniques for Babies. I’m also trained to Reiki Level 1.


I provide professional, tailored, relaxing reflexology treatments for all ages from my tranquil garden room. Whether you are looking for support with a specific health condition, want to reduce your stress levels, balance your hormones or just want a little “me” time, my aim is to give your mind and body a chance to get back it’s natural balance and get you feeling more like “you” again!

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive, complementary therapy that encourages the body to balance and heal itself. Finger and thumb pressure is applied to specific points called reflexes on the feet and hands. These reflex points are believed to mirror the organs and structures of the body, as well as a person’s emotional health.


Reflexology aims to treat the individual as a whole, creating a state of harmony in both body and mind. It has the benefit of being a deeply relaxing therapy which can help improve mood, aid sleep and relieve tension. The result is an overall sense of wellbeing.


Reflexology is suitable for all ages, from babies to adults, and can be especially helpful for long-term and recurring conditions.

The Benefits of Reflexology

Balance

Reflexology encourages the free flow of energy in the body with the aim of restoring the body to balance and helping it return to a state of health.

Relaxation

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. In addition, to relaxing the body, reflexology also relaxes the mind.

Health

Reflexology cannot cure but it 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.

Conditions Reflexology may help with

Here are a few of the more common conditions that can be supported through Reflexology:

Stress

Sleep disorders and insomnia

Fatigue

Digestive Issues such as constipation and IBS

Headaches and migraines

Depression and anxiety

Hay fever & other allergies

Asthma

Menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes

Menstrual imbalances including PMS and irregular cycles

Back/neck pain and sciatica

If you have private medical insurance you may be able to claim back the cost of your treatments. I will provide you with an invoice with the AoR logo, which is accepted by most insurance companies.

Payment: Cash or bank transfer. If you wish to pay by bank transfer please ask for my details before the appointment. Payment must be complete before you leave the premises.


Cancellations: As I'm sure you can appreciate, my time is my business and late cancellations and no-shows really affect my income. Therefore, I do have a cancellation policy. Please give me the opportunity to rebook an appointment by allowing me 36 hours notice of a cancellation or a fee may be charged.

Frequently asked questions

How many treatments will I need?

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.

What happens in a treatment? Will I have to undress?

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 or couch, 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.

Does Reflexology hurt?

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.

Can you diagnose health problems?

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.

Where are you located?
