Questions and answers about the treatment

  • For a first session we will do a consultation to get a full picture of your health. Follow-up appointments will begin with a check-in about how you are and any changes that have occurred. 

    The full session lasts one hour, typically the treatment itself is around 50 minutes. 

    Treatments take place on a massage table (lying or sitting down) with your shoes and socks off. It can also be done on a chair / recliner if that is more comfortable for you.

    I will talk things through as is appropriate and wanted by you. It’s up to you if you’d like music, lighting settings, windows open etc.

  • This depends on a variety of factors. A single one-off treatment can have profound effects whilst others need a course of treatments. Getting to the root of long-term illness can take time, patience and commitment. Alongside the treatments, we can build a picture and plan of your wider health and lifestyle that suits you.

    For these reasons I have tried to keep my pricing as affordable as possible and will always recommend you to another therapist if I feel they are more suited.

  • Different areas will have different sensitivity and require different pressure. In general, some parts can be tender, hot, energetic and these can give sensations in other parts of the body. It should not be uncomfortably painful and I will check in with you on sensitive areas to make sure this is so. Many people grow sleepy and relaxed during the session and wake up at the end feeling revitalised.

  • There is nothing to prepare but try to avoid eating a large meal or having caffeine just before a session.

Testimonials

  • I have had the immense benefit of receiving reflexology from Hector that has transformed any perceptions I had about reflexology before I tried it, and how I feel in myself now. Hector listened carefully as I explained longterm symptoms relating to perimenopause and under active thyroid, and responded sensitively. I also had an historic break in a big toe that required consideration (my wheels were falling off!!).

    We undertook a committed series of weekly appointments with dynamic treatments to my feet and legs. I feel energised and notice that my body is working efficiently with substantially less inflammation and my toe has full range of movement and no more pain. I absolutely recommend Hector for both soothing and dynamic treatments and I would like to continue because I think reflexology has really helped me tune into my midlife body.

  • I’ve been coming to Hector for approx 6 / 8 weeks now and I am so grateful that I came across him. His knowledge of the human body is impressive and over the weeks he has worked on the different areas of my feet that need attention in a thorough and systematic way.

    He has a lovely manner and I feel he has truly invested in me as an individual and worked hard to address any issues that were presenting. Honestly can’t recommend this guy enough.

  • I really look forward to Hector’s sessions. Since my stroke it’s been difficult to relax but reflexology has proved very effective and gives me some lasting comfort. Hector’s a very knowledgeable therapist and I always feel much better after a visit. I thoroughly recommend him.

  • I decided to try reflexology sessions because I felt as though I no longer knew how to walk properly. The sessions with Hector made a huge difference. I became much more aware of my walking patterns, posture and how these were linked to the discomfort I was experiencing. Identifying the areas that needed correction helped me reconnect with my feet - something we often take for granted.

    I now walk with more intention and awareness, and I've come to truly appreciate how vital our feet are to overall well-being.

  • Very pleasant. Was surprised at how much of a full body experience it was, even although it was only my feet that were being treated! Respectful, gentle calm manner.

    Absolutely fantastic. I feel so relaxed and calm post-treatment. What a wonderful experience! Hector made me feel very at ease.

    That was brilliant, 100%. I can feel the oxygen rushing around my body!

    Wonderful! Thank you so much. That was fantastic and much needed. Loved the treatment and your fabulous calm approach.

    Very professional. Listened well at the beginning and identified the areas to work on. Came out floating.

  • Hector is a true craftsman. Receiving reflexology from him, I feel so well held and supported both physically and emotionally. It allows me to relax while also giving space for emotional processing and contemplation. Hector’s knowledge, devotion and genuine pleasure in working with people is palpable through his presence, his gentle and skilful touch. And also in the time he takes to discuss what he was able to notice from my body during the session in clear and accurate detail afterwards.
