What is Reflexology?
We know from ancient texts and pictorial evidence that the early Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Russians and Egyptians worked on the feet to promote good health. Today, many of these techniques have been adapted and developed into the complementary therapy and healing art that we now call Reflexology.
Reflexology is an incredibly relaxing therapy based on the belief that the feet are like mirrors of the body. Quite literally, a ‘reflection’ of the body can been found on the feet!
Specific reflex points are connected to each part of the body by way of a flow of energy. Or if you find it hard to envisage it from an ‘energy’ point of view, it is also true to say that there are thousands of nerve-endings on the feet – in fact over 7000 of them are stimulated during a treatment!
How can it help me?
As a teacher once told me “Feet create the movement for change. Heads think about it, hands handle it and feet do it!”
Reflexology is a holistic treatment, working not only on the body as a whole (rather than particular symptoms in isolation), but also on the mind and spirit. Subtle yet powerful changes can take place over time, leading to a greater sense of inner contentment, peace and harmony.
By using various techniques to apply pressure to the reflex points, treatments stimulate natural healing mechanisms within the connecting area of the body and enhance overall balance, health and wellbeing.
By working solely on the feet, a Reflexologist can detect imbalances and energy blockages in the corresponding areas of the body. These imbalances may or may not have been experienced as physical symptoms by the client, and may even relate more to emotional imbalances which are also ‘stored’ within the body. Even visual observations of the feet can give great insight into the health and personality traits of a client!
Regular treatments have shown to be effective in relieving many physical and emotional symptoms, but they are also an extremely effective form of relaxation and preventative treatment for symptoms that might otherwise have appeared later down the line if balance were not restored. In this way, Reflexology can highlight imbalances so that clients can use this information to make positive lifestyle changes for themselves.
Natural Nutrition
Natural Nutrition is so much more than mere dietary changes or taking some supplements. Whilst nutritional changes and supplementation may form part of your personalised programme where appropriate, Natural Nutrition is a truly holistic approach to nutrition which in turn allows us to see, feel and experience the huge potential within ourselves physically, emotionally and spiritually. It can create a powerful opportunity for change.
Natural Nutrition is about:- Not settling for sub-standard health!
- Why should getting older have to mean deteriorating health?
- Why should we and do we live in fear of developing certain illnesses because other members of the family have ‘it’ and therefore it’s inevitable we’ll get it too and that’s the way it is?
- Why do so many of us just live with and accept the frequent headaches, poor digestion, skin problems, menstrual complaints and aches and pains as ‘normal’?
- Why do SO many of us go through life with the ‘label’ of having a certain illness and just putting up with it believing we are stuck with that illness for life? Where’s the freedom in maintaining any of these limiting beliefs?... Natural Nutrition creates the space, freedom and opportunity for change that our body needs to shift such beliefs and enable us to learn how the body can thrive and restore health no matter of age, genetics, or current health situation.
- Empowerment and personal responsibility – understanding our own body well enough to know what it needs at a given time to restore balance and harmony and trusting that our body will ALWAYS do the best it can for us given the conditions we provide it with. Understanding that we can also have control over how certain genes express themselves in the body!
- Listening and Trusting to what our body is telling us when we feel sick and knowing that illness can create opportunity for change, cleansing and personal growth. It's easy to feel annoyed when we get ill and blame external influences, but just as the survival of every living organism depends on its environment, the same applies to the survival of bacteria/germs within the body. They only survive when the environment allows them too. Change the environment within your body and you change the nature of what can live in it… and with that the potential of what it can achieve.
- Understanding and Reconnecting with Nature – not only by way of eating food as close to its natural origin as possible, but by becoming more aware of the natural processes, natural rhythms and cycles that are occurring within us right down to cellular level and around us at universal level. As part of nature we are connected to it in more ways than we could have imagined and a journey with natural nutrition allows us to learn and get back in touch with just how deeply everything around us influences us, from seasonal rhythms to lunar cycles and planetary movements.
- Inner Wisdom! Accepting that we have all the knowledge we need within ourselves rather than looking externally for someone or something to cure us. The knowledge is already there! It’s knowing how to access it and actually ‘feeling’ what is intuitively true for you as a unique individual.
- Looking at the whole picture! – Knowing that what is ‘healthy’ for one person isn’t for another. It doesn’t work to simply look at symptoms or at a labelled disease to know how to treat it because this is just one aspect of someone’s health rather than all of it which is ultimately all interconnected.

What is a Detox?
A detox is essentially a change from our regular diet that allows the body the opportunity to cleanse itself of accumulated waste.
Far from acknowledging that the body might need a helping hand sometimes in its cleansing duties, we often believe that it will always eliminate toxicity efficiently by itself, no matter how good or bad our daily diets are.
We forget that we add to the toxic load in the body just by going about our daily lives, not just in the form of what we eat and drink but by way of emotional stress, exposure to chemicals (for example in the air, food, plastics and cosmetics), drugs and medicine, vaccination, heavy metals and EMF energy… not to mention the wastes produced by the body’s normal metabolic activities.
At The Orange Temple, a detox is all about relieving some of the pressure on the system and providing it with a menu that helps the body to balance its pH and shed some of the toxic backlog that all of us have. We’re giving the body a bit of a holiday… an inner spring clean!
Setting aside a dedicated time to cleanse allows us to focus our attentions on our health, something that is often put to the bottom of the list of priorities! A great way to kick start an ongoing intention to improve what you put into your body!
