Reflexology Services

Reflexology

Reflexology is an ancient practice with roots stretching back over 3,000 years, having been used in both India and China. Evidence of reflexology was also found in Egypt, where a wall painting depicting hand and foot pressure massage was discovered in a physician’s tomb dating to 2330 BC.

The therapy’s modern form was established in America by Dr. William Fitzgerald (1872-1942), a physician who introduced practical courses and seminars that helped popularize reflexology. Over the years, practitioners have refined and expanded upon his techniques, shaping reflexology into a specialized field.

FAQs

Curious about The Reflexology Experience?

The mechanism of reflexology results in changes in body physiology and stimulates the defense mechanism and healing potential.

What should I expect during an appointment?

During the initial consultation, the practitioner will take a full case history and discuss your overall health to understand your needs and goals.
A consent form is required, acknowledging your understanding of reflexology's effects.
You’ll only need to remove footwear and roll up pants to the knees (or sleeves to the elbow).
The session begins with relaxation techniques, followed by a comprehensive treatment of the feet, hands, ears, and body, reaching up to the knees and elbows.
Treatments are provided in a comfortable, clean, and relaxed environment, with light background music available to enhance relaxation if desired.

Are there any side-effects?

Reflexology has no contraindications; however, you may experience a response to the treatment due to natural changes in body physiology that can initiate a healing process. To support detoxification, it’s essential to drink plenty of water following your session.

Your reflexologist will discuss any immediate or delayed responses you might notice, which can occur up to 48 hours post-treatment.

What is the benefit of seeing a Reflexologist?

While reflexologists are not doctors and cannot diagnose, prescribe, or treat specific medical conditions, reflexology can help relax tension, improve blood and nerve flow throughout the body, and promote overall balance to reduce discomfort or “dis-ease” within the body.

Kind Words from Happy Soles

I can’t thank Ina enough for all the facets of my life that she has helped me and my family navigate… I was initially referred to her to get assistance during our fertility journey… not only did her reflexology treatments support my body through IVF but I believe it was through her support that I was able to emotionally heal and take my body’s power back. As Ina would always remind me, “you already have the medicine in you” but having her in my corner has really helped me connect with my body and remind it of it’s self healing potential and after we had our daughter she then also treated her for her first 2 years to make sure her body was at its optimal for growth and development.

My wife started seeing Ina for Reflexology a number of years ago. She stated that it helped her feel better physically and emotionally. Then as we started our IVF journey, Ina's expert care and emotional investment in my family helped us be able to have a child we may not have been able to have without her. After the birth of my daughter, I met Ina for the first time. I had been experiencing some real troubles with my digestion. My family doctor wasn't able to help me. He ran a few tests and didn't know what to do. So he sent me to gastroenterologist who also ran a few tests, including a scope, and they came back with no definitive answers either. Ina suggested taking something out of my diet, Nightshades specifically. None of my medical professionals had suggested this to me. Ina's understanding of the body, how it works, and the multitude of outside influences on it is really unmatched. I hope more people are open to her knowledge and abilities because I will never be able to thank her enough for helping me with my issues. It was truly lifechanging.

Our family is truly blessed to have met Ina nine years ago when we started to work with her. Before meeting her we saw many therapists to help our son with his sensory challenges. We were often misunderstood… and then we found Ina! She is a wonderful reflexologist but truly is so much more. She is an expert in her field no doubt - but as a family we have gained so much more from her advice, wisdom, and positivity. She has become so important to us that all four of our family see her monthly and look forward to it each time. Ina is a valuable part of our life and family and I will continue referring everyone I can to her. I can’t say enough good things about Ina to do her justice.

I highly recommend her.

Ina Clarke is an amazing health practitioner. She is kind, intuitive, and an expert in her field. It’s amazing what she can find using her skills and she has a beautiful and connecting energy that she is able to channel into healing her patients. She can find issues in the body through the feet and work on those areas to help the body heal. She also helps me improve my own awareness of any body and mind issues I am having so I can work on them as well. If you are looking for someone with a holistic approach to health who has plenty of love and compassion to share with her patients, Ina is the person for you! I always feel fabulous after every visit.

Ina Clarke is simply a gifted healer. When Ina heals, she heals the whole person. Ina understands how our ailments are a product of more than a body part malfunctioning. Our ailments are related to our habits, our family, our relationships, our society. When Ina begins to heal you, she begins to heal all those aspects of your life. Compassionate, grounded, intuitive, knowledgeable and forthright are words that describe Ina. Time seems to lose all meaning when Ina works on you. It is hard to believe she can accomplish so much in only an hour. We are blessed to have her in Edmonton.
