Discover a whole new world of reflexology…
Reflexology? That’s a treatment carried out on the feet, isn’t it? Well, yes, it is, but did you know that the reflexes of the body are also mapped onto the face?
Worry, stress, fear, and grief and our day-to-day life experiences take their toll on the body and often leave their mark on our faces too. Facial reflexology works on the same principle as foot reflexology, stimulating reflex points to support the body’s natural healing process and promoting a deep state of relaxation – falling asleep within the first few minutes is not unheard of!

The face’s proximity to the brain and cranial nerves makes facial reflexology exceptionally powerful in impacting the body systems. It has the additional unique benefits of reducing tension and the appearance of stress in the face and giving your complexion a healthy, radiant glow.
As well as supporting your general health and wellbeing, it may be particularly beneficial for anyone suffering from symptoms associated with jaw tension, teeth grinding, headaches, sinus problems, and Bell’s palsy.
Facial reflexology encourages blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, supporting the elimination of toxins and helping to reduce puffiness. Stimulating facial tissues help to strengthen layers of skin tissue, improving skin tone and reducing muscle tension. Over a series of sessions, there may be a softening in the appearance of facial lines.
During the treatment, your face will be gently cleansed before a pre-blended, nourishing facial oil is applied. I use a range of massage techniques and apply gentle pressure to stimulate the reflex points. The experience is incredibly relaxing, and most people find they drift off into a meditative state and report that they feel a greater sense of wellbeing and inner calm afterwards.
I practice the Bergman Method advanced facial reflexology, which draws on a combination of traditional reflexology zone therapy, Native American techniques, and Asian body maps. I completed my training with renowned therapist and award-winning pioneer in modern facial reflexology, Ziggie Bergman. She is the UK’s leading expert in facial reflexology with over 20 years of experience as a holistic practitioner.
