Facial Reflexology
Facial Reflexology Therapy Sorensensistem™ is a holistic, non-invasive therapy developed by Danish reflexologist Lone Sorensen since 1978. It is an advanced form of reflexology that integrates ancient healing traditions with modern neuroscience to address physical, emotional, and neurological health.
Core Methodology
The method is built on the principle that the face acts as a microsystem of the entire body. By stimulating specific points and zones on the face, practitioners send impulses through the central nervous system to corresponding organs and body systems.
-
Integrated Traditions: It combines Tibetan meridian theory, Vietnamese and South American body maps, Chinese acupuncture points, and Indian practices.
-
Scientific Foundation: The technique incorporates modern neuro-anatomy and embryology to target brain function and hormonal balance.
-
The 7-Step Process: A standard session typically follows a structured 7-step sequence designed to balance body chemistry, release endorphins, and promote deep relaxation.
Key Benefits
While it also leaves you with a healthy glow, due to improved muscle tone and circulation, its primary purpose is therapeutic.
-
Neurological Support: It is frequently used for rehabilitation in cases of stroke, Bell's Palsy, brain damage, and developmental disorders in children.
-
Stress & Emotional Release: Stimulates the release of serotonin and endorphins to alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma.
-
Physical Wellness: Helps manage hormonal imbalances, migraines, digestive issues, and immune system dysfunction.
-
Aesthetic Effects: Often called "Cosmofacial" or "Japanese Cosmo Lifting", the method naturally stimulates collagen and elastin production, reducing wrinkles and improving skin glow.
Facial Reflexology
for Hormonal Imbalances
Facial Reflexology Sorensensistem™ addresses hormonal balance by stimulating the central nervous system to regulate the body's internal chemistry. Because the face is in close proximity to the brain, the therapy uses the shortest possible route to reach the control centres responsible for hormone production, such as the pituitary gland.
How it addresses Hormonal Balancing
-
Endocrine Stimulation: Practitioners target specific reflex points and "zones" on the face that correspond to the endocrine glands, including the pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, and reproductive organs.
-
Nervous System Regulation: The method shifts the body from a "fight or flight" (sympathetic) state to a "rest and digest" (parasympathetic) state. This reduces cortisol, the stress hormone that often disrupts other hormonal cycles.
-
Neurotransmitter Release: Sessions are designed to release endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine, which naturally improve mood and help regulate the neurobiological processes that control hormone levels.
-
Circulation & Detox: By activating microcirculation and lymphatic drainage, the method ensures hormones are delivered efficiently to cells and that excess hormones are processed and removed effectively.
Common Conditions Addressed
This method is frequently used as a complementary therapy for:
-
Menstrual Health: Managing irregular cycles, heavy or painful periods, and PMS symptoms.
-
Fertility Support: Helping to balance reproductive hormones and reduce the stress often associated with trying to conceive.
-
Menopause & Perimenopause: Reducing the frequency of hot flushes, managing night sweats, and alleviating "brain fog" or fatigue.
-
Metabolic Issues: Assisting with thyroid regulation and general metabolism.
What to Expect During a Session
-
Duration: Typically lasts about 50/60 minutes.
-
Setting: The client lies on a massage bed, and fully clothed; treatments are performed using the fingertips and a 100% pure Rosa Mosqueta (Rosehip) oil or Veronica's Natural Skincare.
-
Sensation: A deeply relaxing experience that may include gentle pressure and rhythmic movements across the face and scalp. Clients usually fall asleep as the treatments is incredibly relaxing; sleeping is welcome as it aids the healing process.
