One of the most common questions I get from new clients is, “How often should I come for reflexology?” And the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all — but I’ve got a simple way to help you find your rhythm.

Reflexology works with your body’s natural ability to heal. It’s not just a feel-good foot massage (though, yes, it does feel amazing!). It’s a complementary therapy that supports relaxation, boosts circulation, and helps your body return to balance. But like anything in wellness, consistency matters.

Acute vs. Chronic Conditions

Let’s start with what you’re coming in for. If you’re dealing with an acute issue — maybe a recent injury or a stressful season of life — your body is already in healing mode. Weekly or even twice-weekly sessions for a short stretch can keep the momentum going and deepen the results.

If it’s something more chronic — a condition that’s been lingering for years — the healing timeline shifts. A good rule of thumb? It takes about one month of reflexology for every year the condition has existed. So if you’ve had migraines for five years, a five-month treatment plan might be the most supportive route to lasting change.

Maintenance and Prevention

Once the body starts responding — and you’re feeling the shifts — sessions can be spaced further apart. Many of my clients move to a monthly maintenance routine. This not only keeps the body in balance, but also helps “catch” little issues before they become big ones. Think of it like tuning up your car before the engine light comes on.

“After addressing my initial concerns with weekly sessions, I switched to monthly maintenance. It’s become my body’s reset button, and I notice the difference when I miss an appointment.” – Client testimonial

Reflexology Is Cumulative

Each session builds on the one before. That’s why regularity (even if it’s just once a month) has a much greater impact than a single session now and then. Your body learns what to do with the gentle nudge reflexology gives it — and it starts to respond faster and more effectively over time.

This cumulative effect is why many clients report:

• Better sleep quality
• Reduced stress levels
• Improved digestion
• More energy throughout the day
• Decreased pain and tension

Whether you’re managing a specific health concern or simply want to feel more grounded in your body, reflexology can be a powerful ally. If you’re still not sure where to begin, I’m happy to chat and help you find the schedule that fits your needs best.
