How Reflexology helped a young family
When I still worked in the corporate world, an interstate colleague told me about the huge challenges brought to the family by their baby/toddler son’s persistent crying and of their sleepless nights - despite attending baby sleep school.

Reflexology cannot bring healing to a cancer patient but, alongside medical treatment, provides relaxation and removes side effects; it also improves quality of life.
The side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, such as pain and nausea, are reduced when receiving reflexology treatments |
