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.
What is Reflexology. PHOTO of feet
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
Fiona’s FOOT MAP KODA on the original reflexology page there is Reflexology expertise and my qualifications.
Can we see what these also look like on the Reflexology section. They are expertise and my qualifications. I have a feeling my quals need to go elsewhere.
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.

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.

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
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.

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!

♡ 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 you see the Karen magic come into action!
25 years plus having worked with all ages.
For most of us out there especially as we get older we would love to have weekly, splend all day getting TLC. 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 a bit overused in the garden, stressed by family members or issues at work. WE sometimes reflect on our up bringing, have regrets or traimas re surface – this is when you need a bit of colour ( sheer magic ), also known as an colour sweep where I massage your engy field AKA aura. Your feet help me with a genral WOF and then you back , neck and shoulders require some physical massage.
SEE WHY YOU NEED THE WHOLE SHEBANG!
Usually IU can be fliexible in the clinic and can mix up your session or we can add some extra time on if there is space .
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 may then progress to fortnightly and / or monthly sessions.
The longer you have had a condition or experienced symptoms, more treatments are usually required. Most individuals will experience some improvement and at the very least feel more relaxed after each session.
