Michelle Mardall reflexology

I have been qualified in advanced reflexology (level 5) since June 2011. I am a reiki practitioner and also provide a range of other holistic therapies.

I have an advanced qualification in Reflexology, which covers pregnancy care and cancer care. Reflexology practictioners understand that reflexology helps release stress, which in turn helps the body heal and regenerate itself. One theory is that reflexology works with the central nervous system. This theory builds on research done in the 1890s by Sir Henry Head and Sir Charles Sherrington, who began to show through their research that a neurological relationship exists between the skin and the internal organs, and that the whole nervous system adjusts to a stimulus. According to the theory, the reflexologist's application of pressure to feet, hands, or ears sends a calming message from the peripheral nerves in these extremities to the central nervous system, which in turn signals the body to adjust the tension level. This enhances overall relaxation, brings internal organs and their systems into a state of optimum functioning, and increases blood supply (which brings additional oxygen and nutrients to cells and enhances waste removal). It positively affects the circulatory, respiratory, endocrine andimmune systems in the body. Another theory holds that there is a "vital energy" in the human body. If stress is not addressed, it leads to congestion of energy, which in turn causes bodily inefficiencies, which can lead to illness. According to this theory, reflexology helps keep the energy flowing. What about zone theory? The recognition of reflexology as a specific type of treatment began with Zone Theory, in which the body is divided into 10 vertical zones. Each zone corresponds to fingers and toes all the way up to the top of the head. For example, if you are standing up with your hands on your thighs (palms facing down) the thumbs and great toe would be zone 1. On either side of the body, the index finger and second toe would be zone 2, etc. In reflexology theory, every organ, valve, muscle, etc. that lies within a zone can be accessed via a point or area on the feet or hands. For example, working between toes 2 and 3, or fingers 2 and 3, the eye point is found. These pathways between pressure points and other parts of the body are thought to be connected via the nervous system, as described above. The zones are similar to, but not the same as meridians found in Chinese medicine. However, there are some correlations with some meridians and the location of organs on the feet and ankles.

I often say that "me time" is important - and it is!
However how you interpret "me time" is also important, you see it is not selfish to do things for yourself.
"Me time" does not mean me first...it means me too!
How much do you do for others? Do something for you too! Love and care for yourselves like you do for others! YOU matter too! 💜

● Reflexology can help with insomnia as it is very relaxing and soothing - I also work in the evenings so it is possible to have a treatment and then have a restful evening.
● Reflexology can help with anxiety as it helps the body to release stress and it also is very calming.
● Reflexology can help to manage hot flushes as it helps to balance the body's hormones naturally.
● Reflexology can help with fatigue as it boosts energy.
● Reflexology can help with aches and pains as it releases endorphins which are the body's natural pain relief.
● Reflexology is not a one off fix though, it's a bit like going to the gym, the more you do it the better your body will feel!

"I hate my feet!", "I can't let you treat me because I've got ugly feet!", "I'd be embarrassed if you saw my feet!", "I've got awful feet!", "I couldn't let you touch my feet because they smell!".

As a reflexologist I have heard people say all of these and more! In truth, to a reflexologist there is no such thing as ugly feet.

Our feet are unique to us and they give vital clues to a trained therapist about your state of health and also state of mind. Also as a therapist who has been working on feet for almost fourteen years, I have seen all sorts, shapes and sizes of feet and I havn't ever ran away screaming! So I won't be put off no matter what you may think!

So what are you waiting for! I can be contacted on 07891 295604, email michellemardallreflexology@hotmail.co.uk or contact me via Facebook to make an appointment or to find out how reflexology can help YOU!

What is Tsuboki face massage?
It is an amazing Japanese face massage incorporating the neck, shoulders and scalp.
It is DEEPLY relaxing - I have not had a single client that has had it who has not drifted into the most restful sleep during their treatment.
I use oil to massage the shoulders, neck, scalp and face. I then apply gentle pressure to the Tsubo points on the face. These are energy points which relate to the rest of the body. As these points are worked stagnant energy is cleared and toxins are removed.
We use the muscles in our face so much, to chew, to talk, to smile, to frown! The massage of the face and the Tsubo points releases all that tension. The face is rejuvenated and a more youthful and glowing complexion is achieved.
At the end of the treatment I use reiki to balance the chaka points in the body.
The treatment lasts for 1 hour and costs £45

Our Story

I am a reflexology specialist based in Ash Vale. I did my reflexology diploma training in Northern Ireland at the Sheila Nugent school of reflexology (formerly the Chrysalis school of reflexology) qualifying in June 2011. I also completed an advanced qualification in Reflexology there, which covers pregnancy care and cancer care.

I had the most amazing and knowledgeable tutor and I am thankful for the opportunity of being trained by Sheila Nugent. Sheila was trained by Jane Vukovic, Jane was trained by Doreen Bayley. It was Doreen Bayley who brought reflexology to the UK in the 1960s. Doreen Bayley was a student of Eunice Ingham who in the 1930s in the USA developed the reflexology we know today. This training line makes me a 5th generation Ingham method reflexologist!

I have spend 126 classroom hours learning and developing my trade: 70 of those hours were for my reflexology diploma. On top of those classroom hours I also had to complete and document 40 mandatory case studies for my diploma. I also had home work and practice treatments.

I was so keen to learn about reflexology that I badgered anyone and everyone to let me treat their feet while I was training - family, friends, work colleagues or neighbours!

Once I qualified with my diploma I then went on to gain my advanced reflexology certificate. Further developing my skills at later dates with hot stone reflexology, hand reflexology, visual reflexology, foot reading and facial reflexology. Reflexology practitioners understand that reflexology helps release stress, which in turn helps the body heal and regenerate itself. One theory is that reflexology works with the central nervous system. This theory builds on research done in the 1890s by Sir Henry Head and Sir Charles Sherrington, who began to show through their research that a neurological relationship exists between the skin and the internal organs, and that the whole nervous system adjusts to a stimulus. According to the theory, the reflexologist's application of pressure to feet, hands, or ears sends a calming message from the peripheral nerves in these extremities to the central nervous system, which in turn signals the body to adjust the tension level. This enhances overall relaxation, brings internal organs and their systems into a state of optimum functioning, and increases blood supply (which brings additional oxygen and nutrients to cells and enhances waste removal). It positively affects the circulatory, respiratory, endocrine and immune systems in the body. Another theory holds that there is a "vital energy" in the human body. If stress is not addressed, it leads to congestion of energy, which in turn causes bodily inefficiencies, which can lead to illness. According to this theory, reflexology helps keep the energy flowing.

Dr Fitzgerald from Boston USA, an ear nose and throat surgeon developed the concept of zone therapy and claimed to ease certain symptoms and to bring on numbness by applying clamps to the fingers or toes so that he could operate. What about zone theory? The recognition of reflexology as a specific type of treatment began with Zone Theory, in which the body is divided into 10 vertical zones. Each zone corresponds to fingers and toes all the way up to the top of the head. For example, if you are standing up with your hands on your thighs (palms facing down) the thumbs and great toe would be zone 1. On either side of the body, the index finger and second toe would be zone 2, etc. The zones are similar to, but not the same as meridians found in Chinese medicine. However, there are some correlations with some meridians and the location of organs on the feet and ankles.

In 1913 Dr Joe Riley who learnt zone therapy from Dr Fitzgerald refined the method and began to locate points of the feet. He and his wife ran a holistic centres in Washington and Florida. They employed a physiotherapist called Eunice Ingham who pioneered the reflex points on the hand and feet, she also mapped the organs onto the hands and feet. Eunice called her method reflexology! In reflexology theory, every organ, valve, muscle, etc. that lies within a zone can be accessed via a point or area on the feet or hands. For example, working between toes 2 and 3, or fingers 2 and 3, the eye point is found. These pathways between pressure points and other parts of the body are thought to be connected via the nervous system.
