Traditional foot reflexology with Maria at Zazura.

Foot Reflexology

45 minutes. · £30

Foot reflexology uses a sequence of pressure across points on the feet in a calm, unhurried appointment.

You remain comfortably reclined while pressure is applied across the feet.

The pressure is adapted throughout to suit your comfort.

What it may help with

  • Relaxation
  • Time to slow down
  • General wellbeing

Rhythmic pressure adapted to your comfort.

Facial Reflexology

Approximately 45 to 60 minutes. · From £35

Facial reflexology applies gentle, systematic pressure to points across the face, jaw and scalp. It is not a facial in the skincare sense — it is a therapeutic pressure treatment — although skin often looks brighter and more relaxed afterwards. It is delivered by Maria in an unhurried, private appointment.

You stay fully clothed and reclined while pressure is applied across the face, jaw, temples and scalp.

The work is slow and rhythmic, and the pressure is adjusted throughout to what feels comfortable for you.

Many people find the jaw and brow release noticeably, particularly if they hold tension there.

What it may help with

  • Time set aside to switch off
  • Tension held in the jaw, brow and temples
  • A sense of calm and wind-down
  • General wellbeing as part of a wider routine

Light to firm pressure, generally described as deeply relaxing. Some points, particularly around the jaw and brow, can feel more tender.

Which one should I choose?

Both treatments use the same principle of gentle, systematic pressure on mapped reflex points, and both are offered as relaxation and wellbeing appointments rather than treatments for medical conditions.

If you are not sure which suits you best, tell us what you are hoping for when you book and Maria will talk it through with you at the start of your appointment.

  • Foot reflexology — the traditional treatment, working across the feet. A good choice if you would rather not have your face touched, or simply want to switch off completely.
  • Facial reflexology — works across the face, jaw, temples and scalp. Often chosen by people who hold tension in the jaw and brow.

Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD)

Maria is also trained in the Sally Kay Reflexology Lymph Drainage technique, which is a specialist reflexology sequence with its own dedicated page and pricing.

Common questions

Do I stay clothed?

Yes. Only your feet need to be accessible for treatment.

Is facial reflexology a facial?

Not in the skincare sense — it is a therapeutic pressure treatment, though skin often looks brighter afterwards.

Can I have it after injectables?

Please leave at least two weeks after any injectable treatment before booking facial reflexology.

Do I need to undress?

No. You stay fully clothed throughout, reclined and covered with a blanket if you would like one.

My treatment was lovely, once I got settled & Maria was lovely, it is a beautiful salon but would be helpful to explain to new clients as to where to park & exactly where location is. I will definitely re-book.
