What is Reikology? How I Combined Reiki and Reflexology into One Powerful Treatment

Okay, I’ll be honest I’ve been sitting on this for a while and I’m too excited to keep it to myself any longer.

As of June 1st 2026, I’m officially adding Reflexology to The Energy Therapist menu. And not just as a standalone service, I’ve created a signature treatment called Reikology that combines it with Reiki in a way I genuinely believe is unlike anything else available in Carrum Downs or the wider southeast Melbourne area.

In this post I want to walk you through what Reflexology actually is (because I know a lot of you have heard the word but aren’t quite sure what it involves), why I trained in it, what Reikology is, and who it’s going to be most useful for.

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a therapeutic practice based on the principle that specific points on the feet (and hands and ears, but we focus on the feet) correspond to specific organs, glands, and systems throughout the body. By applying targeted pressure to these reflex points, a practitioner can support the function of the corresponding body system, encourage circulation, and help the body release tension it’s been holding.

Think of your feet as a detailed map of your entire body. The toes correspond to the head and sinuses. The arch of the foot mirrors the digestive system. The heel holds connections to the lower back and sciatic nerve. And so on, right across the sole.

When a Reflexology practitioner works on these points with intention and skill, the effects are felt far beyond just your feet. Clients often report a deep sense of relaxation, emotional release, improved sleep, and relief from issues they’d been managing for years.

Why I trained in Reflexology

I only ever add modalities to my practice that I’ve personally experienced and that I genuinely believe in. That’s been my rule since I started The Energy Therapist, and it’s not changing.

I’ve been living with chronic health issues since I was six years old. My whole life, I’ve been someone who holds tension and stress in their body, someone whose physical symptoms are deeply connected to what’s happening emotionally and energetically. Reflexology became part of my own healing toolkit because it worked in a way I couldn’t ignore.

Pairing it with Reiki during my own sessions felt like something clicked into place. The energy work would open and clear, and the Reflexology would ground and anchor those shifts physically. I started thinking: what if I could offer this to my clients?

So I went and got qualified. And here we are.

What is Reikology?

Reikology is the name I’ve given to my signature combined treatment a 75-minute session that weaves Reiki energy healing with targeted Reflexology work on the feet.

Here’s how it’s different from just doing both back to back:

•        The Reiki begins the session by opening your energy field, clearing blockages, and bringing your nervous system into a receptive state

•        The Reflexology then works on your physical body through the reflex points on your feet, targeting the specific areas your body needs support in that day

•        Because your energy field has already been opened and cleared by the Reiki, the Reflexology lands more deeply than it would in a standalone session

•        The result is a combined nervous system reset energetic and physical, working together

It’s honestly my favourite thing I’ve ever offered in this practice. I’m a little bit obsessed.

Who is Reikology for?

Reikology is going to resonate particularly strongly if you:

•        Carry stress or tension physically in your body and can’t seem to fully release it

•        Have already experienced Reiki and want to go deeper

•        Are curious about Reflexology but want the added support of energy work alongside it

•        Are dealing with hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, or chronic fatigue

•        Feel emotionally heavy, stuck, or overwhelmed

•        Have been told ‘nothing is wrong’ by conventional medicine but know your body is holding something

•        Just want a deeply restorative, full-body reset, you don’t need to have a specific issue to benefit

What does a Reikology session look like?

Sessions run for 75 minutes and take place in my private healing room in Carrum Downs.
Here’s what to expect:

•        We start with a short check-in, I want to know how your body is feeling and what you’ve been carrying lately

•        You’ll lie fully clothed on the treatment table. The only thing you’ll need to remove is your shoes and socks

•        The Reiki portion of the session begins, with me working either hands-on or hands-off across your body’s energy field

•        We then move into the Reflexology component, where I’ll work through the reflex points on your feet with targeted pressure

•        At the end of the session, there’s always time to slowly come back to yourself. Nobody is rushing out of here
