Wonderful reflexology sessions designed to support your dancing feet will be offered by lovely Cliona Sharkey, our on-site wellness specialist.
Reflexology is a perfect therapeutic support for dancers. It feels like a foot massage (firm or gentle according to preference) but does so much more. It soothes tired or sore feet but also supports the whole body, working through targeted points on the feet to relax, rejuvenate, and rebalance the organs, muscles, and the nervous system.
Sessions start from 20 euros/ 20 min.
