Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. Early arrival gives us the time to say hello as well as allotting you time to fill out and sign a health record form, consent form, and confidentiality form prior to a session. Less stress-More success!

During a Reflexology Session

Supplies needed for each session will be available example: hand sanitizer, personal protective equipment, cleaning and disinfecting wipes.

There will be an adequate supply of liquid soap, paper towels, hand sanitizer, tissues and waste receptacles in the designated washroom. The designated washroom will be cleaned and disinfected before and after each client.

After cleansing the feet, analysis, mapping, observations and contraindications will be noted and recorded.

Soft music, battery operated candles and a meditation introduction will be provided prior to a soothing and relaxing session.

The reflexologist will end the session with a calming and relaxing foot massage followed by the application of warmed, sanitized towels.
