Welcome to Balanced Living!
Whether you wish to reduce your day-to-day stress levels or are looking for support with an existing health condition or maybe would just like a little ‘me’ time, my aim is to get you feeling relaxed, healthier and energised with specially tailored Reflexology treatments.
My name is Gerard, I am a fully qualified and insured Clinical Reflexologist serving clients in the Holywood and Greater Belfast areas.
What is Reflexology?
So much more than a foot or hand massage, Reflexology is based on the theory of energy flowing through zones in the body. The theory is that if your energy is blocked or disrupted through, stress, illness or injury then the body becomes imbalanced and unable to heal itself, allowing pain and dis-ease to develop.
Specific areas on the feet and hands (the reflexes) correspond to different parts of the body, by applying gentle but firm pressure to the reflexes Reflexology aims to remove any energy blockages and bring the body back into balance, restoring the body’s own natural healing process
It is a gentle treatment ideal for anyone seeking relaxation to support and balance the body and mind. It is a very natural method that treats the whole body through the feet.
Reflexology is a very low effort but effective way to help take the first steps towards feeling better. It requires very little effort from you, just the energy to lie on a comfortable couch and take off your shoes and socks!
Reflexology does not diagnose or cure, however it complements or works alongside traditional medicine assisting the body’s own healing process.
The Benefits of Reflexology
Balance
Reflexology is a wonderful way of maintaining your body's healthy balance and general wellbeing, reducing the stresses and tensions that come with busy lifestyles and giving us a space to reflect on the mind as well as the body.
Relaxation
Reflexology can induce a deep state of relaxation, which improves the effectiveness of the treatment. Relaxing helps relieve tension and aids circulation, increasing the flow of nutrients, oxygen and energy to all parts of the body, and helping with the removal of toxins.
Health
While it is not a cure, Reflexology can be particularly helpful in managing many health conditions, especially constant or recurring ones that we might have come to accept over time as being a normal part of life.

Frequently asked questions
Everyone is different and the response to Reflexology can be immediate or sometimes take longer than one appointment, but often benefits can be seen after 4-5 sessions. Regular weekly treatments are best for the body properly beginning the self-healing process, and following an initial consultation I will suggest the number of Reflexology sessions I think we should undertake.
Sessions last from 45 to 75 minutes and cost £60.
Please note if you cancel or miss an appointment your booking deposit cannot be refunded or offset.
(I do not accept cheques or bank transfers)
Reflexologists cannot claim to diagnose or cure, but during a treatment we get 'feedback' as to which parts of the body are working well and which are not. Sometimes Reflexology will highlight a specific area which is struggling or working hard to maintain your wellbeing; if a particular reflex point shows this kind of reaction I'll discuss it with you at the end of the session.
Reflexology is performed entirely on the feet, ankles or hands, so the most you’ll have to do is take off your socks and roll up your trousers!
During the treatment you simply lie on your back, supported by pillows and covered by a soft blanket to keep you warm.
You might find some areas feel sensitive to the touch, but Reflexology does not involve hard pressing in the way something like a sports massage might. As a therapist I will be aware of the status of your feet, noticing how they feel, the temperature and colour. All these things play a part in understanding which areas of your body - as reflected through your feet - require a bit more care and attention.
Not necessarily, but after an initial course of treatment many people choose to check in monthly for a top-up, to help maintain their general wellbeing, or as a scheduled 'de-stress'. Other clients will get back in touch if they start feeling aches and pains, arranging treatments as and when they need them.
