Reflexology Jeanette Barsalini

The Bergman method of facial reflexology is built on the same foundations as modern reflexology and uses a combination of Native American techniques and Asian body maps. Pressure techniques are applied to specific nerve endings (or reflexes) on the face which correspond to different organs, systems and glands in the body. Toxins can build up in the body during times of stress or illness and, by stimulating the corresponding reflexes on the face, the body can be restored to its natural state of balance and good health.

Working in close proximity to the brain and cranial nerves makes facial reflexology especially powerful and can be used by people suffering with sinus problems, tension headaches and migraine. Facial reflexology also helps to release muscle tension, increase the circulation to the skin and strengthen layers of skin tissue leaving the face looking smoother and more toned with a natural healthy glow.

Facial reflexology is a wonderfully hypnotic stress relieving treatment that is non invasive and gentle on the body. Special techniques are used at the end of the treatment to re-awaken the brain and ensure you feel energised and refreshed, making this an ideal energy boosting treatment. Facial reflexology can either be combined with foot reflexology or experienced as part of a facelift massage for the ultimate in relaxation and improved health and wellbeing. See below for more information about facelift massage.

Facelift massage combines the very best and most effective ancient and modern facial massage techniques into one rejuvenating treatment. It is a gentle non-invasive approach to looking younger which aims to offer a glowingly radiant complexion after the very first treatment. It includes Japanese facelift massage with its high speed flicking movements, which work by freeing constrictions within the facial muscles and in the connective tissue, along with other massage techniques such as tapotement, friction, effleurage, percussion, hacking, petrissage, vibration, lymph drainage massage techniques and migraine and sinus congestion points. With regular sessions, this unique and transformational holistic therapy promises to help “iron out” wrinkles, stimulate collagen and elastin, tighten and sculpt the jawline and reduce puffiness.

Advanced facelift massage techniques are combined with facial reflexology and Indian head massage so that, as well as helping your skin look good on the outside, your spirits are lifted on the inside. This is a kinder, more holistic approach to beauty which works on the basis that by letting go of stresses and emotions held in the face, you will naturally look and feel better. It can literally take years off you!

Unlike some other facials, natural facelift massage is very intensive and very hands on. At no point, will you be left in the room on your own with a mask on! Although I do use high quality organic facial oils to enhance the treatment, the emphasis is on the massage and fingertip techniques used rather than on any particular products. If necessary, your skin will be gently cleansed before I apply the facial oils. However, as this facial does not involve a deep cleanse, if you generally wear a lot of make up, you might want to cleanse your own skin before arriving.
