Reflexology what is it and is it for me?
Are you stressed? Need to relax?
Reflexology allows you to pause and through fascia and reflected body to foot Chronic stress impairs immunity and causes health issues. Reflexology breaks this cycle, offering a gentle, non-invasive approach to foster self-healing, balance the body, and improve well-being.
Reflexology is a holistic therapy mapping body systems to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears. By applying pressure to these areas, it clears congestion, reduces stress, and stimulates the body's natural self-healing mechanisms. This deep relaxation technique balances bodily functions, promoting overall well-being
Although foot reflexology is the most well-known, this therapeutic practice also uses the hands and ears to stimulate healing pathways. By targeting roughly 7,500 nerve endings in the feet, we can detect congestion—felt as tender or "gritty" spots—and promote bodily self-nourishment. Additionally, ear seeds are often used to provide lasting, post-session benefits.

♡ My Approach
Reflexology and/or Zu Qigong sessions are tailored to your needs that you present on the day. It is about following a set routine. You may require calming of the mind where a parasympathetic protocol is required. If you “all over the place” or in chronic pain more Zu Qigong would suit. If you are post operation or have lymphatic issues, water retention or lipodema then lymphatic drainage would be used.
Each session will have different techniques applied as you present on the day.
Zu Qigong (say Zoo - Chee - Gong) or Foot Energy Work
LIGHT BUT POWERFUL SO THEY SAY!
A unique heart led approach to energy therapy, accessing meridians through the feet.
Zu Qigong designed around Traditional Chineses Medicine (TCM) combines the simple light touch technique of external qigong, the fluid gentle movements and mental focus of internal qigong with the basic theories of reflexology. Zu Qigong works only on the feet or lower legs.
It is also possible to book this as a distance healing session if the recipient is overseas or unable to make a treatment physically.
Karen is the principal trainer for trained therapists in the Zu Qigong protocols. Further information can be found at: www.zuqigong.com
Unlike clinical reflexology, Zu Qigong has a light touch, and there is no treating specific ailments. This is very holistic in approach designed to:
Relax the mind and body
Promote natural circulation of energy (chi) throughout the body.
Encourage the body to achieve a balanced flow of energy.
Common reactions to those receiving.
“I do not know what you are doing but please can I have it again”
“Make sure you do that foot thing”
“I feel so relaxed”
Other therapists :
“My clients always ask for Zu Qigong as part of their treatment.”
Colour Therapy at Healing Ways
Why Colour?
Do you feel out of balance?
Lack direction? In your career, relationship or life in general?
Suffering from grief or “beside” yourself?
Fear of Flying (The solution could be in a bottle!)
Need grounded
Feeling anxious or stressed
Over emotional
Need Chakra Balance
♡ My Approach
The colours you are drawn to and the colours you wear often reflect where you are on an emotional level. From a scientific perspective, colour is a radiation ranging from infra red to ultra violet frequencies and we are drawn to certain frequency waves to help balance ourselves.
When you come for a treatment or consultation, it is quite normal for your colour of clothing to be discussed (and yes, it’s ok to wear black ). I can direct you to the type of colour therapy that would be most suited for you. For life direction/clarity an Aura Soma consultation is recommend. This involves choosing and discussing coloured equilibrium bottles. These equilibrium bottles are available for sale and can be applied on your body.
For grief, feeling beside yourself or just out of kilter then immerse yourself into the world of colour at Healing Ways via comforting blankets,
Aura Soma pomanders and chakra healing around your aura (your body’s natural energy field).
Massage at Healing Ways
Massage often is added to the mix of the WHOLE Shebang!
Whether you have run that extra mile, hit the gym too hard or just need to unwind, massage is a great way to help your body recover.
WOF - Yes a warrant of fitness!
Book a whole body ( 75 minutes ) or specific area massage such as legs to establish just where those nasty wee tender spots are.
Tight back, neck and shoulders.
Runners legs from 5 km start-ups to elite ultra-marathoners those legs need some TLC. I am well aware of Tarawera!
Child / Teen growing pains
♡ My Approach
All my treatments come with respect and non judgement, working with your own expectations. A key aim is to empower you with the ability to improve your personal lifestyle. I sometimes collaborate with local Physiotherapists, Osteopaths and Chiropractors to ensure you are getting the best suited treatment for your needs.
The Whole Shebang
This is where the Karen magic comes into action!
25 years plus experience working on auras, bodies, hands, feet and ears of all ages.
Your body talks, my hands listen!
As we get older we all would love to have weekly reflexology or massage. Spend all day getting TLC. The Reality check – it just doesn’t happen,
We require a bit of this and a bit of that on our wonderful body that perhaps has been overused in the garden, stressed by family members, or issues at work or even neglected by ourselves .
Sometimes we reflect on our up bringing, have regrets or traumas that re surface.
The Karen solution? COLOUR THERAPY. (sheer alchemy)
AKA - aura soma colour sweep where I massage your energy field/ aura.
Your feet help me with a general WOF and then your back , neck and shoulders receive some physical massage.
SEE WHY YOU NEED THE WHOLE SHEBANG!
I can be flexible in the clinic space and co-create your personalised session or we can add some extra time on if both our diaries allow.
With regular treatment, balance can be restored within your body. Weekly or fortnightly visits may be recommended initially until a consistent improvement is noted. This often progresses quickly to fortnightly and / or monthly sessions.
The longer you have had a condition or experienced symptoms, the greater the number of treatments are usually required. I so wish I could do a quick fix - occasionally I can!
Most individuals will experience some improvement and at the very least feel more relaxed after each session.
