Pat's Reflexology Plus

Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the body that map to other parts, glands, and organs of the body. Through the application of pressure on these reflexes
Reflexology aids the body to:
relax, release, rejuvenate, detoxify, improve circulation, reduce stress, energize, balance
, soothe, and function optimally. 
"Reflexology Therapists do not ...
1. diagnose;
2. prescribe;
3. treat for specific conditions or;
4. use machines or instruments they weren't trained to use."

What can you expect from a Foot Reflexology treatment?

You will remain clothed. Only your socks will be removed. Lay on your back and relax on the massage table as you gift yourself  60 minutes of self-care.

Fresh, heated towels will be used to warm and prepare the feet to receive the treatment. During the treatment, you will feel pressure, maybe some "crunchies", and some tender spots, but it should not be painful or cause bruising! If the pressure is too hard it is important to tell the practitioner so the pressure can be adjusted.

Hands will be washed before and after each treatment.

  

There is a chair in the treatment room to put your things (coat, purse..) on.

Each client will have fresh, clean linens.

A hand towel will be on the vanity for your use. Please leave it on the vanity and it will be cleaned following treatment.

Sanitization protocols will occur between clients.  

How often should I have a treatment?

 After you have had a session we can discuss a treatment plan based on your particular needs.

ABOUT ME

IMG_0069.JPG

Hello, and welcome!

 

My name is Pat Nostbakken. I was first introduced to reflexology in the late '70s by my dad (Bill Goble) after he took a Reflexology Association of Canada (RAC) Reflexology course at Kelsey (S.I.A.S.T.) campus.

It changed our lives! He became a practicing Reflexologist and he shared his knowledge and insights with everyone who was interested. I took what he taught me and applied it to friends and family for many years.

 

It wasn't until August 2019 that I officially took the plunge to take the core and foot reflexology course. I was certified in January 2020. In early 2020, I took the Emotional Reflexology course which I completed in October 2020. In August  2020, I successfully completed the requirements to become a Reflexology Therapist (RCRT). This means that if your benefits provider covers reflexology, you can submit receipts for reimbursement.

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you feel your best self, inside and out!

"Pat has an amazing ability to make you comfortable. I have done many different forms of reflexology with Pat including feet, ears, and hands.  All have been amazing.  Most recently I have discovered face reflexology thanks to her, and it is hands down one of the most relaxing experiences I have had.  I recommend Pat for her knowledge and genuine care that she has for each person that she treats" 

                       Candice Demmans

I had the pleasure of receiving an access bars session. Unsure of what to expect, Pat explained the process and we began. In less than 10 minutes I was in a deep state of relaxation. With each touch of the access bars, I would have different visions. While explaining this to Pat after the session, she gave explanations to validate what/why I had these visions. It was so cool! I live a fast-paced, busy lifestyle with not much downtime, so having a deep sense of peace and calmness for 1 hour was great! Even better - the feeling continued even after the session was complete.I definitely recommend this!                                                                                                    Joni A

Scientists Use Functional MRI to Validate Reflexology Tenets - Researcher Barbara Kunz 
Some of the findings disclosed in this article include: "The fMRI study has found a direct correlation between pressure to a single reflex area of the foot and one of the brain's processing areas for pain, the insula. This same area of the brain helps integrate homeostatic responses and may help explain results obtained in other research studies that link reflexology to changes in the body's viscera."
