My story
I am Alina and I am so happy and grateful you are here, reading my page!
My story as a reflexologist began long ago when my stressful life was causing me a lot of health issues- from poor sleep to digestive intolerances, so my friend at the time offered me a reflexology session as a treat. That hour in which I felt completely different, lighter, more relaxed, full of life was incredible. Looking back now I must have hoped or wished or promised I would do that again because it is extraordinary how I started this path, this journey coming from such a different profession. Having worked in education made my journey even more exciting being able to apply everything I know even if it sounds strange, is it a matter of method, techniques but also a lot of heart and devotion.
So this is how I found my vocation or I should say it found me.
Always thinking that the body is amazing I started my research and intense study of how to understand every process and apply all knowledge I could find; this is how I now know THAT EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING and thus I qualified in Holistic Therapies to be able to offer a treatment that has multiple benefits.
I will never stop being curious, BECAUSE MY JOURNEY HAS ONLY BEGUN...

WHAT IS FACIAL REFLEXOLOGY?
‘FACIAL EXPRESSION CHANGES THE BODY’S INTERNAL ACTIVITY; Facial expressions control what the body experiences’-
- Ziggie Bergman-
THINK OF THE FACES OF PEOPLE YOU HAVE MET
WE CAN ACTUALLY ‘READ’ AN EMOTION OR A STATE OF MIND WHEN IT IS EXPERIENCED BY SOMEBODY : ANGER, SADNESS, HAPPINESS, EXCITEMENT, DISGUST, TERROR can all be obvious on our faces
ALSO WE CAN MAKE A CONNECTION BETWEEN FACIAL FEATURES AND BODY’S IMBALANCES OR CONDITION
Like in foot reflexology, the reflexes corresponding to organs or areas of the body are worked on the face in a very gentle and pleasant way using light pressure.
To enhance the therapeutic as well as rejuvenating effect, a special serum or elixir-more on
and/or an amethyst crystal wand can be used for more precision over the reflexes.
Why having facial reflexology?
-
It has immediate effect due to proximity of the brain
-
Helps reducing the stress effects:
- anxiety/depression
-lack of sleep
-digestive disorders
-heart condition
-chronic fatigue syndrome
-
Reduces pain- by releasing endorphins-natural painkillers
-
Improves lymphatic drainage
-
Helps relieve nasal congestion/sinusitis
-
Rejuvenates the aspect of the face by stimulation blood circulation and bringing a natural glow on the skin
-
Triggers nerve endings to re-fire having a major change in the structure of the face muscles and skin
WHAT THE MIND SUPPRESSES, THE BODY EXPRESSES
WHAT IS CLINICAL REFLEXOLOGY?
'Reflexology is a science that deals with the principle that there are reflexes in the feet that correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. Reflexology is a unique method of using the thumb and fingers on these reflex areas.', Dwight C. Byers
Clinical Foot Reflexology is not just foot massage, this means that the treatment is focussed on working on reflexes that might be tender or sore while working on them, but using the proper pressure and the correct techniques together with a full understanding and awareness from both of us, the internal balance and restoration of the body can occur.
AS A CLINICAL REFLEXOLOGIST, I AM TRAINED TO WORK SAFELY
ON PEOPLE WITH MEDICAL PROBLEMS WITHOUT PRIOR OR VERBAL CONSENT FROM THE DOCTOR AND I AM FULLY INSURED
As a reflexologist, I do not diagnose, prescribe or claim to cure, you will seek medical advice or will be referred to the GP accordingly.
Among the multiple benefits I can mention:
* reduces stress, depression, anxiety and tension by stimulating the nervous system
* improves blood supply and lymphatic circulation
* improves sleep
*increases energy level
*ease constipation
* helps ease the discomfort caused by cancer treatments, and many others so as to support the homeostasis or the state of equilibrum of the body
