What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a non-invasive holistic therapy that works on the principle that the feet (and sometimes hands and ears) contain reflex points that correspond to every organ, gland, and system in the body.
By applying gentle but firm pressure to these reflex points, a trained practitioner can help:
Stimulate circulation
Encourage detoxification
Release blockages in energy pathways
Support the body’s natural healing processes
Unlike massage, which focuses on muscles, Reflexology taps into the body’s energetic and nervous system. It has been used for thousands of years, originating in ancient Egypt and China, and is now recognised worldwide as a complementary therapy that supports physical and emotional wellbeing.
The Benefits of Reflexology
Reflexology is valued because it works on multiple levels: physical, mental, and emotional. Regular sessions may help with:
Stress Reduction & Relaxation
Stress is one of the biggest drivers of modern illness. Reflexology activates the parasympathetic nervous system (“rest and digest”), helping the body to shift out of fight-or-flight mode. Clients often report feeling deeply relaxed and grounded after a session.Improved Circulation & Energy Flow
By stimulating circulation, Reflexology encourages better oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout the body. This can help reduce tension, improve skin tone, and leave you feeling revitalised.Lymphatic Support & Detoxification
Through techniques like Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD), Reflexology assists the lymphatic system in clearing toxins and excess fluid. This can reduce swelling, inflammation, and discomfort.Pain Relief
While Reflexology is not a cure, many people use it to help manage discomfort linked to conditions such as:Migraines and headaches
Digestive issues
Hormonal imbalances
Muscular tension
Menstrual pain
Boosted Immunity
By supporting circulation and stress reduction, Reflexology naturally strengthens the immune system — an important benefit in today’s fast-paced world.
At Samantha Lennie Therapy, two core Reflexology approaches are offered:
Traditional Reflexology: Works across the whole body’s reflex points, addressing stress, balance, and energy flow.
Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD): A targeted approach developed to focus specifically on the lymphatic reflexes in the feet. Particularly effective for:
Lymphedema (swelling caused by lymphatic blockages)
Post-surgery recovery
Inflammation-related conditions
Both methods are deeply relaxing and restorative, but RLD is especially beneficial for those seeking support with fluid retention, immune health, or post-cancer care.

What to Expect in a Reflexology Session
Many first-time clients are surprised at how relaxing and nurturing Reflexology feels. A session with Samantha typically follows this flow:
Consultation — A brief discussion of your wellbeing goals, stress levels, or specific areas of concern.
Relaxation Start — You’ll be invited to recline in a comfortable position. Shoes and socks are removed.
Foot Cleanse — A light cleanse may be done to prepare your feet.
Reflexology Treatment — Using thumbs, fingers, and gentle pressure techniques, Samantha works through reflex points across the feet. Areas that feel tender may indicate imbalance and are worked through with care.
Closing & Integration — The session ends with grounding strokes, leaving you relaxed, centred, and often energised.
Most sessions last 60 minutes, though shorter or extended sessions can be arranged depending on your needs.
