Reflexology

---

The foot contains a map of the body, allowing an experienced practitioner to massage or stimulate a particular part of the body, including the organs, blood circulation, and more. This method can range from a pleasant de-stressing of the body to helping to heal physical complaints.  

Many people have found the Academy of European Reflexology and Healing Arts and Tonya Swan to be an excellent alternative healing experience.   

Use your body’s own reflex system to help yourself and your loved ones to better health and well-being, as well as blissful relaxation. 

Try reflexology Sessions for enhanced health, profound relaxation, and rejuvenation.

In Europe, reflexology is widely used in hospitals, clinics & nursing homes.  It is an accepted component of general wellness. Tonya was trained in the European Style Reflexology called Zone therapy. 

This is considered to be the Cadillac of training in the reflexology world. 

This method has been used in hospitals and clinics throughout Europe and Africa for over 45 years now. 

It was developed and taught by the late Charles Ersdal of Norway the only Doctor of Reflexology in the world. An honorary doctorate degree was given to him by the University in Kristiansand for the incredible Reflexology work he pioneered. 

Tonya has been practicing this method since 1990 when she was personally trained and certified by Dr. Ersdal. She graduated at the top of her class.

Without a doubt, the most relaxing and mind-altering experience is Tonya’s deluxe treatment. Tonya focuses on the quality of the overall relaxation experience for her clients, with an effort to please all the senses. 

The ambiance of soothing decor, soft indirect lighting, comfortable chairs, private rooms, and soothing music add to Tonya’s treatments to create an oasis of relaxation for your enjoyment. 

Tonya’s treatments  last 60-90 minutes for the initial foot reflexology and followed by several additional therapies as desired by the client: 

 Aromatherapy with custom essential oils applied to the feet, Hot stone massage, and Reiki are included. Hand Reflexology and Ear Reflexology are also available. All are guaranteed to bring tingles up your spine!

 
A responsible practitioner will also tell you that treatments cannot help people with certain extreme conditions. Reflexology treatments should not be given to:

Those with serious heart conditions. 

Those who have damaged nerve endings from  drug overdoses or sports injuries.

Those with advanced malignant tumors. 

Those who are currently undergoing chemotherapy. 

A typical European Reflexology session begins with you sinking into and relaxing and very comfortable chair. 

Every effort is made to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. Then the treatment begins. At the outset you will be asked if you if you want the pressure to be applied soft, medium, or hard. 

You will be asked if you have any particular physical complaints so the the reflex points that are related can be focused on.

 They will apply the exacting method of European Reflexology treatment. This requires skill and knowledge to perform correctly and all Tonya is trained thoroughly in this method of reflexology.

Some people may think that foot reflexology is just a fancy foot massage. However, while goal of massage is to simply to relax muscles and relieve pain.

 A reflexology session focuses on the nerve endings, which are found in and around muscles and bones in the feet. 

The goal is not relaxation alone, but the healing and preventative powers which affect the whole body through the energy reflexes stimulated on the feet. Many clients have reported relief from physical conditions and with no negative side effects! 

Of course reflexology does produce a deep relaxation response in most people. In fact, reflexology relaxation effects are so strong that people often fall asleep during the session and regularly report a fantastic night's sleep afterwards as well. 

Tonya is a European Master Reflexologist and maintains both National and State Certifications.

Dr. Oz went on to state, Every patient that I operate on at New York Presbyterian Hospital gets a reflexology type treatment."
