Reflexology is a complementary therapy based on the principle that the feet can be seen as a 'map' of the body. Areas on the feet are seen as connected to corresponding areas of the body. For example, the toes correspond to the head, the heel of the foot to the chest, the sole of the foot to the abdomen, and the heel to the pelvic area. Within these larger areas, are specific smaller areas and points for particular organs and structures of the the body - these are called reflexes e.g. there are reflexes for the eyes, ears, teeth, sinuses, brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, stomach, colon, ovaries/testes, adrenal gland, shoulders, spine.

Reflexology aims to release blocked energies, and stimulate and restore energy flow throughout the body, activating your bodies own natural healing mechanisms and bringing the systems and organs of the body to balance. This may bring relief from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.  Reflexology gently stimulates and balances the circulatory and immune systems and aids with de-toxification, all of which can improve physical health and resilience. Furthermore, stress is a major cause of mental and physical ill-health and so the general relaxation and stress relieving properties of Reflexology is also a major help to your health and wellbeing.


Many of my regular Reflexology clients were massage clients who tried it out of curiosity and then found it so relaxing and fascinating, it was hard to choose which to have, Massage or Reflexology, so they now alternate between the two.

Whether or not you have medical issues - many of us give our feet a hammering on a daily basis, and end up with sore, tired, achey feet. So why not try putting your feet up for a treatment which releases tension and provides stress relief, relaxation, and a sense of wellbeing throughout the whole body?

Change to Loyalty Card Scheme

Its just over a year since I replaced my previous pre-pay for 5 session discount packages, with the current loyalty card scheme: 'stamps' for each visit which give you 25% or 50% off or a completely free treatment for a full card. I have reviewed the system, and feel on the whole it has worked well - the previous scheme only suited a few clients, whereas the new scheme benefits all my ongoing clients. Most people choose to wait until they have a full card and love the feeling of having a session completely free; but a few clients have also appreciated the option to take a 25% discount or a 50% discount if they are feeling particularly tight for money at that time. 

However on review, and noticing that some clients always have a shorter session and get one stamp, whereas others always have a longer session and get 2 stamps, I feel it would be fairer to give everyone 1 stamp per visit, regardless of the length of their session; so that some clients are not being rewarded a free session in half the time it takes others to receive one. 

So, in future its simplified, 1 session = 1 stamp. 

The time of the free treatment is the same as your usual session; if the length of session you have varies, it will be the average of your treatment sessions. If in doubt, I'll round up. :)

Fabulous Reflexology Testimonial 

"Yesterday Ceri visited House Morgain and did a reflexology treatment on my feet. I knew the basics of how it works but had never actually had the experience before. It did always seem logical to me because there are so many nerve endings in the feet. I also knew how sensitively feet express emotions. But in my long experience over decades it is not so much the -ology or the -ism as it who does it. This is certainly true of Ceri. She is a gentle, patient, deeply intuitive healer who yet has that touch of ruthless certainty where to be tough. Again and again she “touched on” a zone which connected with the health problems I have, without me telling her what they are. She “listened” to my body and then talked to it in no uncertain terms! It was a delicious experience of trust to receive her care. Safe hands. Afterwards I went to bed and slept deeply, more deeply and more thoroughly than I have in months. The stresses of these challenging months fell away from me. Today I am striding about, lighter on my feet than for so long. My back is stronger. My head which was muzzy with fatigue, has cleared. My mind is bright and quick and I have cleared a big load of work so I’m caught up. Plus done some satisfying tidying around the House and handled some bundles of complexity without strain. Who is this woman I am today? I like her! To all those who live anywhere near Lancaster I so envy you. You can go Ceri at Holystix to get refreshed, heal, gain strength and increase brightness and pleasure in life. You lucky people!"

New Discount Scheme! - Loyalty Cards

I am no longer offering discounted packages for 5 weekly, fortnightly or 3-weekly appointments pre-booked and pre-paid in cash. Instead, I am bringing in a loyalty card scheme so all my clients can be rewarded with discounts for ongoing custom, regardless of how frequently you attend, and without having to book and pay for treatments in advance.

A session of an hour or less = 1 stamp
A session of an hour and a quarter or more = 2 stamps
You can choose whether to use your stamps when you get to 8 stamps, for 25% off, to wait until you have collected 12 stamps and get a 1/2 price treatment, or until you have a full card of 16 stamps to receive a treatment absolutely free.
For example
- If you came for a full body massage once a week, collecting 2 stamps a week, it would only take you 8 weeks to have a full card and on the 9th week your massage would be completely free.
- If you came every 3 weeks for a back massage, it would take you 48 weeks to get 16 stamps and receive a completely free treatment, that's 11 months. So you might choose to trade in your card at 8 stamps (that would take 5 1/2 months) for 25% off or at 12 stamps (which would take 8 months) to get a half price treatment.

My recommend a friend offer is continuing - £5 off your next treatment when a friend has a treatment on your recommendation.

World Reflexology Week- SPECIAL OFFER!

World Reflexology Week starts in a couple of days - on Monday 22nd September.

To encourage more people to try Reflexology. I am offering a discounted rate of an hour for £20 or 45 mins for £15. For those of you that have had Reflexology before, you can still enjoy the discounted rate. First come, first served, so email me now at Holistyx@googlemail.com or ring or text me on 07888 692803 and make an appointment!

Would you like to know more about Reflexology? Click on the 'About Reflexology' tab at the top of this page - Ive just updated it to explain in more detail the theory behind Reflexology, the benefits you may experience from treatment, and what happens in a Reflexology session.

New Year, New Prices, New Discount Offers!

New prices
As I mentioned in my last blog post my prices are going up a little. Just £2 a session to cover costs, so my rates are still lower than most of the other therapists I have seen advertised in this area.
45 mins (3/4 hr) = £22, 60 mins (1 hour) = £27,
75 mins (hour and a 1/4) = £32, 90 mins (hour and a 1/2) = £37,
105 mins (hour and 3/4) = £42, 120 mins (2 hours) = £47

However, essential oils can now be added to any treatment for FREE!
I am dropping the £2.50 extra charge. They are very high quality expensive oils, which is why I was charging extra for them, but I have this box full of potent and beautiful smelling oils with a limited shelf life and the majority of my clients are not making use of this wonderful therapeutic resource. I want to be sure all of you have the opportunity to add the many physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits of essential oils to your treatment if you wish, without being put off by the price.

Discounts
My previous discount system of % off turned out a bit complicated to calculate and remember, so I am changing to something simpler. I've also been asked to give some discount to people who can book 3 weekly appointments, so I have. Always happy to get feedback and suggestions. :O)

Discounts For Regular Appointments
For 5 appointments pre-booked and pre-paid in cash:
an appointment once a week = £20 off the total fee
an appointment every 2 weeks = £15 off the total fee
an appointment every 3 weeks = £10 off the total fee

So, for example, if you came for an hour session once a week for 5 weeks, without the discount this would be a total cost of £135, with the weekly discount of £20 off it would cost £105.

Discounts For Recommending a Friend
£5 off your next treatment when a friend has a treatment on your recommendation.

I've updated my side bar with my 2010 prices and am going to be out and about town today to replace my leaflets with updated ones. I'll try not to miss any, but I always make sure people know the cost before making an appointment anyway.

I've also made a new banner for the top of my blog page - what do you think?

Discounts for booking a course of treatments

A regular Holistyx treatment will ensure you continue to feel the many benefits, whether that is reduced stress levels, a better nights sleep, improved circulation, being more relaxed, more energised, having less feelings of anxiety or depression and more feelings of wellbeing, being more alert and able to concentrate, improved workout performance, relief from stiff sore muscles, or better health from a boosted immune system (other benefits of massage) . Experts estimate that 80 percent to 90 percent of disease is stress-related, so going for a stress-busting treatment is not just a luxury or a self-indulgence, its an investment.

With reflexology, it is recommended to have a course of 5 treatments on a weekly basis to obtain maximum benefit. With any of the massage therapies also, a weekly treatment is a wonderful gift to yourself to look after your health and wellbeing in a thoroughly enjoyable way!

To encourage you to try the benefits of a weekly or fortnightly treatment, I am offering:

20% off for a course of 5 weekly full treatments
(or 5 treatments booked at whatever interval within a 5 week period)

10% off for a course of 5 fortnightly full treatments
(or 5 treatments booked at whatever interval within a 10 week period)

Sessions must be booked and paid for cash in advance.

Only one discount offer at a time.

Easy way to get a 25% DISCOUNT! - recommend a friend!

A lot of people prefer to go to a therapist that has been recommended to them. That way, they feel more confident that they will feel comfortable with the therapist, and that they will receive a good quality treatment that gives them what they are looking for and is worth their time and money. That is why most therapy businesses grow more by word of mouth than by advertising.

So, if you have enjoyed a Holistyx treatment, please recommend me to people you know, and give them my phone number. As a thankyou, (and an incentive!) if someone books with me and tells me it was because of your recommendation I will give you a 25% discount off your next treatment session of an hour or longer.

My prices are already at the low end of the scale for the treatments I offer in comparison to other therapists, but with 25% off they become incredibly low.

An hour session, usually £25, becomes only £18.75!
An hour and a 1/4 session, usually £30 becomes only 22.50!
An hour and a 1/2 session, usually £35 becomes only 26.25!

So don't miss an opportunity to benefit everyone:

• you will be helping the person you recommend me to, introducing them to a therapist you know does a good job
• you will be helping me, introducing me to potential new clients that otherwise may not have heard of me, or considered coming to me for treatment
• and last but not least, you will be rewarded by getting the same quality treatment for a remarkable bargain price!

Only one discount offer at a time.
