Free Hand Reflexology videos for self-help
I would like to share this short video that was produced by the AOR. It is a useful guidance on how to perform reflexology on your own hands to help you manage stress and anxiety in these troubled times.
Please do have a go at it. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to answer them.
These moves can be performed as many times during the day as you need it. Whenever you notice that your mind goes into overdrive and your anxiety mounts just follow the steps above and feel your stress and tension melt away.
This is another hand reflexology video on how to support your immune system.
And if you are having trouble falling or staying asleep here is a short hand reflexology sequence to follow to help you sleep better.
You can help your loved ones too by working on their hands. Ask them to give you feedback on the depth of pressure used and how it feels to them.
For the maximum benefit it is best to:
- find a quiet and peaceful place to carry out the moves and set aside at least 10-15 minutes for it (5-7 minutes on each hand)
- make sure you are sitting in a comfortable position, rest your hands on a cushion in a way that your shoulders and arms are relaxed
- concentrate on what you are doing and what/how you feel
- vary the pressure until you find the right one for you, please note that more pressure does not necessarily equal with greater benefit
- first give yourself a hand rub as if you were washing your hands but this time without water or soap
- first work with your dominant hand to really master the moves then change hands, spend the same amount of time on each hand
- repeat the moves as many times as you like
- at the end give yourself a nice hand massage using your favourite hand cream.

Relax and rebalance your mind-body with Reflexology - a natural way to better health
In our busy, face paced lives we face new challenges on a daily basis. As pressure builds we find ourselves under stress. In this stressful state we often lose our ability to easily unwind and just to listen to our body. Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive healthcare therapy that can support your mind-body to rebalance and reset itself. This stress buster is an ideal therapy to form part of a regular health maintenance program.

My experiences
During my professional career of 12 years I have treated clients presenting with a wide variety of conditions. At the moment my attention is turned mostly to working with patients who are living with cancer. In order to best support them I have attended:
- a specialised 4-day-long Oncology Reflexology course with the Middlesex School of Complementary Medicine,
- Dr. Carol Samuel's workshop for "Pain in Cancer Survivors" and most recently
- Reflexology Lymph Drainage with Sally Kay.
I find that reflexology gently brings on a deep state of relaxation that is so welcome for patients living with life changing conditions. This deep state of relaxation allows the body to do the necessary repair work and elimination on physical level and give a chance to the mind to switch off and ease anxiety, tension and stress. In turn quality of sleep improves, some side effects of treatment and symptoms of the condition, such as constipation, hot flushes, peripheral neuropathy and lymphoedema lessen.
I also have experience of working with the elderly who greatly appreciate the soothing and discomfort relieving beneficial effects of Reflexology.
