Chakra balancing is based on the belief that the body has seven main energy centres, or chakras, which correspond to different aspects of physical, emotional, and spiritual health. During a chakra balancing session, various techniques such as meditation, visualization, and energy healing are used to clear blockages and restore balance to the chakras. By harmonising the flow of energy within the body, chakra balancing aims to promote overall well-being and inner harmony.

Reflexology is generally considered safe when performed by a trained and qualified practitioner. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with certain medical conditions such as foot injuries, open wounds, or infections. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before undergoing reflexology, especially if you have any underlying health concerns.

During a reflexology session, you can expect to relax in a comfortable environment while the reflexologist applies pressure to specific points on your feet, hands, or face. The pressure may vary depending on your preferences and needs, but it should generally be firm yet gentle. The experience is typically soothing and may induce feelings of deep relaxation and well-being.

The number of reflexology sessions needed varies depending on individual needs, goals, and the nature of the condition being addressed. Some people may benefit from a single session for relaxation and stress relief, while others may require multiple sessions for chronic pain management or ongoing support. A reflexologist can work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan based on your needs and preferences.

Coverage for reflexology by health insurance varies depending on the provider and the specific policy. In some cases, reflexology is covered once your reflexologist is a registered member of an approved reflexology Association, such as Maura. It’s advisable to check with your insurance provider to determine if reflexology is covered under your plan and what requirements may apply.

Maura is available in Roches Wellness Centre Every Tuesday from 10am until 2pm. You can contact Maura directly, or contact Roches to book your appointment.
