The treatment is subtle and powerful. It does not claim to cure disorders, but it can be used on its own or alongside conventional medical or alternative health care in order to follow a truly complementary approach.
By applying specialised pressure techniques predominantly on your feet, Reflexology is believed to enhance the innate healing potential of your body. The recognition of all touch therapies are becoming more realised as people enjoy the effective benefits of treatments.
The aim of the treatment is to bring balance and harmony to your being.
Health is the natural state of every form of life.
Your treatments are provided in the tranquil environment of my home based practice.
I also provide practical advice on lifestyle, eating habits and recommend nutritional supplementation.
I assist with breathing and relaxation techniques which may help you deal with stress.
In my practice, I most frequently perform foot reflexology, as the whole body is mapped on the feet. On occasion, and on request, I perform body reflexology which would involve pressure techniques on the legs, hands, arms, head, neck, ears and face.
I, Janine Claire Visser, (known as Nina) am registered as a Therapeutic Reflexologist with the Board of Healthcare Funders and The Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa.
I have been a member of The South African Reflexology Society since 2000.
Being registered with these bodies keeps you safe in terms of the fact that I keep my practice running professionally, as stipulated by regulations. I am also obliged to keep up to date by achieving Continued Professional Development points by attending workshops, online courses and questionnaires. So, even though I qualified more than 20 years ago, my knowledge is always expanding and fresh.
I studied at The International School of Reflexology and Meridian Therapy, (now known as the International Academy of Reflexology and Meridian Therapy), which teaches the Inge Dougans technique.
In January 2001 I received a
Diploma in Reflexology and a
Diploma in Meridian Therapy and the Five Elements.
Since then I continue to do numerous courses and workshops relating to health and body work.
Everyone can benefit from reflexology treatments, from babies to the aged, healthy or ill, stressed, anxious or even if you feel just fine. It can help to relieve stress, anxiety and pain.
