What are the side effects?

Reflexology is a non invasive therapy which means it does not involve pain. Some areas of the feet might be more tender or feel tingling which indicate an imbalance in this area of the body. Side effects are generally positive. After a session the client might feel a deep sense of relation and and less stressed. Some clients experience a release of emotions. This is completely normal. I always encourage clients to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration which can bring on headaches. A bit like a regular body massage.

On the rare occasion the body might go into a healing crisis. This could involve frequent urination and running to the toilet. This is the body's way of rebalancing the natural energy.
