But what is foot reflexology? Evelyne explains that the practice originated in Egyptian and Babylonian culture. These civilizations are said to have provided important testimonies, including this document dating from 2,500 BC illustrating Egyptians practicing foot reflexology.
Foot reflexology can simply be described as the therapeutic practice of foot massage. The practice is based on pseudo-scientific precepts which show that every organ, body part and physiological function corresponds to a zone or point on our hands, feet or ears. A specific touch on these zones can remove certain tensions and restore balance and energy to the body. In fact, the foot is a zone connected to our entire body, a major nerve structure containing countless receptors that directly inform our central nervous system. According to reflexologists, any impingement of an area of the foot can disrupt our sensory and nervous balance.

Through a massage lasting between 30 and 40 minutes, Evelyne offers a real rebalancing action on all the organs, dissipating tension, draining toxins and reinforcing energy balance. Her technique involves applying pressure to specific areas of the feet and hands.
Using essential oils, she massages and applies relaxing pressure to specific areas, resulting in intense relaxation. For certain receptive people, it’s also a way of releasing certain negative energies. And to take it a step further, it can also be a psychological treatment. Certain pressure points on the feet help to free the mind and spiritual tensions. For some people, foot reflexology is considered a therapy and is essential.
Evelyne’s Tips:
Thumb therapy to prevent senility. Perform 5 swings, release for 4 seconds and repeat 6 times. Then finish with 30 swings. Evelyne even recommends doing 4 or 5 simple swings from time to time during the day. Above all, she advises us to say the affirmation “I love, accept and respect myself infinitely” every morning!
