Are you looking for a natural way to help your child manage their anxiety? Reflexology might be the answer you’re looking for. As a certified reflexologist with training in Functional Reflex Therapy and Mindful Reflexology, I have a greater understanding of how anxiety can affect children and young people.
Through the use of positive touch, reflexology stimulates the release of oxytocin, the happy hormone, which encourages the body to relax. Regular treatments can help children and young people feel calmer, sleep better, and be in a better frame of mind.
Reflexology is a holistic treatment that focuses on the whole body, with reflexes targeted according to specific emotions and how they affect the body. For example, many young people who are worried often experience regular stomach aches. That’s because the body’s organs and emotions are closely linked.
By receiving regular treatments, your child will not only feel calmer and more relaxed, but they will also begin to understand how their body and mind are linked. They will also learn self-care techniques that they can use on their own hands, giving them a practical strategy they can easily implement anywhere and at any time.
If you’re interested in learning more about how reflexology could help your child, please give me a call at 07889137168. After an initial chat, you will be emailed a medical history form to complete for your child before their first treatment.
The first session is a 30-minute experience for your child to try foot and/or hand reflexology. During the session, I will explain how reflexology works and how it can help them calm and relax. I will also show them a couple of self-care techniques they can practice at home. If your child enjoys the first session, I recommend weekly treatments for at least four weeks. During this time, I will teach them a self-care rainbow relaxation routine on their hands that they can continue to use regularly.
If you’re a parent or caregiver, I would be more than happy to teach you some reflexology techniques you can use on your child. After the fourth session, we can discuss how your child is feeling and how we move forward. They may wish to continue with weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions, which range from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Cost: £25 for a 30-minute treatment.

My 9 year old daughter struggles a lot with anxiety and it effects so much of her life. Since having treatments at Refoxology, she is calmer and more in control of her worries. She’s always struggled with eating anything but a few foods. Since Nicola has given her some hand reflexology techniques, she has managed to try several new foods which is life changing for us! Thank you so much!
