Reflexology works directly on your endocrine system by stimulating your endocrine glands that produce and release hormones thus helping to regulate hormone balance.

Many of my treatments, including reflexology full body massage will stimulate your immune system. Reflexology works by stimulating all aspects of your immune system and other systems that impact it such as your nervous system and endocrine system.

Treatments also aid normal sleep patterns where they have been disrupted by stress, pain or ill health.
