When I first trained in Facial Reflexology Sorensensistem in 2011 I wasn’t really interested in the beauty benefits of the treatment but as I’m aging (and I think my 40th birthday a couple of years ago had to a lot to do with it!), I’ve become a lot more excited about how looking your best has a powerful impact on a person's wellbeing. So I trained in Japanese Cosmo Facelift in 2014 and saw wonderful results on clients, and myself, very quickly. From here my passion in the health benefits of facial reflexology and its positive effects on people's appearance and wellbeing really took off.
Around that time, Ziggie Bergman, the pioneer of the Bergman Method of Facial Reflexology began to get a lot of rave reviews about her new method of facial reflexology and her Zone Face Lift treatment. Not one to be left behind in new methods and techniques I decided to train in the Bergman method in 2016 and recently completed my Zone Face Lift training (in October 2017). Zone Face Lift is a wonderful treatment that aims to “take 10 years off in 12 weeks and lift the face and spirit” but can also be received as a one off treatment every now and then or before a special occasion as results are often seen after just one session. A beautiful holistic facial, which involves cleansing, exfoliation, toning, hot towels, anti aging mask and a healing visualisation can also be added to any JCFL or ZFL treatment.
Although reflexology (foot or facial), can be incredibly complicated with its meridian lines and maps and multitude of techniques, in its essence it’s quite a simple modality. And for this reason I’ve always loved to give clients self-help tips they can use on themselves or their families. I regularly devise simple treatment plans for parents to do on their children to compliment sessions with me and offer Baby Reflex, Pregnancy and Fertility workshops. Followers of my Facebook page will know I enjoy posting short simple videos of techniques for self-help (and lots of pictures of my feet!). Over the last few years a number of clients have asked if I would consider creating a workshop of facial reflexology techniques to help the signs of aging, and I’ve finally got my act together and put one together.
On Saturday 25th November I will be running a “Do It Yourself Facelift” workshop at Southcote Proactive Healthcare in Maidstone. The workshop will last around 1 ½ to 2 hours and will include detailed instructions on 10 different facelift and reflexology techniques to help you look and feel your best. The techniques will not only help stimulate collagen and elastin to tighten, plump and sculpt your face, but if done regularly, also potentially help ease stress and help you feel better on the inside too. It’s not just a beauty workshop as I’ll also show participants techniques to ease minor health issues through the facial reflexes.
The workshop will cost £35 and you’ll receive a course booklet with step by step, easy to follow instructions, Guasha jade tool, Neal’s Yard Organics samples, money off treatment voucher and access to my secret Facebook group of videos and advice on all things facial reflexology and aging well naturally to improve your wellbeing. This small workshop will be lots of fun, so grab a friend and learn how to make yourself look your best and banish winter skin, all in time for Christmas. And of course, if you want that extra bit of luxurious pampering, you can still have regular ZFL treatments with me.
Also in the pipeline is a workshop for teens (something I was asked to do ages ago but fell by the wayside) and one for anxiety in children, so watch this space for more details in the new year.
