I believe that the time I spend talking to my clients, providing a safe and empathetic space to share feelings, is just as important as the physical touch of reflexology. Both together is magical ✨️
Touch is one of our most basic, primal needs, starting at birth and continuing throughout our lives. Reflexology uses a particular "affective touch," which activates the parasympathetic nervous system.
Humans are also wired for social connection. The brain responds to strong social ties by releasing serotonin and dopamine. The relationship created with a therapist can provide this social connection.
