Reflexology in East Dulwich
We are one of the leading exponents of reflexology in East Dulwich and the surrounding areas.
Reflexology is a complementary therapy that involves the application of pressure to specific points on the feet, hands and ears to promote overall well-being and balance in the body.
While the practice of reflexology has ancient roots, the modern form of reflexology as we know it today has developed over the past century. The underlying theory is that these points, known as reflexes, correspond to different organs and systems in the body. By stimulating these reflex points, reflexology practitioners believe they can promote relaxation, improve circulation, and encourage the body's natural healing processes.

Ehi is also an experienced reflexologist who went on to further her knowledge with Louise Keet at the London school of Reflexology at Regents University. Ehi is passionate about working alongside people whether it to be just to relax or work on more specific things like digestive issues or starting your conception journey.
Ehi says that she fell deeper in love with reflexology while actually carrying out massage treatments, she loves the process of observing someone going into a deeper state of relaxation, there are points on the feet that correlate to the diaphragm that she would press while doing a massage, and a large percentage of the time, breathing slowed down further at this point. This is the point where she realises just how powerful reflexology can be.
Reviews
“I have been a customer of Mothers Inc for many years. And have always received an excellent service. I have received relief from long term pain with both reflexology and massage sessions and always got follow up calls to check on my progress. I recently referred a friend whose child was suffering from long term constipation/tummy issues. The session was successful and the child is now more comfortable.” - Emma
“Had a back massage and reflexology a few weeks ago. Lovely masseuse, calming salon and really tailored the massage to my individual requirements - back pain improved significantly afterwards. Would definitely recommend.” - Alex Bos
History of Reflexology
Ancient Origins: The concept of reflexology can be traced back to ancient civilizations. There is evidence that various forms of foot and hand therapy were practiced in ancient China, Egypt, and India. Ancient texts and illustrations suggest that these cultures believed in the therapeutic benefits of manipulating specific points on the feet and hands.
Early 20th Century: Reflexology as a distinct practice began to take shape in the early 20th century. In the 1900s, several healthcare practitioners, including Dr. William H.

Her work laid the foundation for the reflexology techniques used today.
Recognition and Growth: Reflexology gained popularity in the United States and Europe during the mid-20th century. Ingham's books, such as "Stories the Feet Can Tell" and "Stories the Feet Have Told," contributed to the dissemination of reflexol
