ESO's Beginning

Welcome to Essence Systemology! I hope you have been enjoying the ESO website; I am Yvonne Lockhart, the founder of Essence Systemology.

I have been a holistic therapist for over 2 decades and spent many years working in luxurious spas and delivering exquisite treatments to my clients abroad and in the UK this has had a huge impact on my holistic therapies, my product range and the way that I train my students.

The development of the Essence Systemology product range

I found that every spa I spent time at didn't understand the true importance of reflexology in a spa environment.

Reflexologists were expected to use whatever was around to provide reflexology instead of a dedicated product. Spa guests were definitely missing out, all treatments were beautifully indulged but not reflexology, and as reflexology is now one of the most requested therapies I wanted this to change.

Having had the chance to work with many exclusive high end products I became alarmed at the amount of chemicals that many professional spa products are laden with. As we know the skin has the ability to absorb medication, chemicals and essential oils yet because large companies can create beautiful synthetic perfumes, little thought is given to how much toxic element is being absorbed via the skin although in recent years I have seen a marching force for natural and organic products- I am a true believer that our skin, bodies and airways deserve to be toxin free and so in 2014 Essence Systemology product range was born.

The Essence Systemology Reflexology Original Balm started its journey in 2014 and was launched in October 2015.

Essence Systemology evolved from my passion to create an exceptional reflexology product house.  A passion to inspire professional reflexology and therapist to provide a unique and individual experience for both themselves and their clients.

My vision is to help reflexologists provide luxury spa style treatments with specialised balms and products that will help bring harmony and support to the body via the feet, ensuring your clients keep coming back for more.

I have been delivering reflexology training for many years and have found the choice of professional balms and spa products created exclusively for reflexology is narrow. With only a few companies dedicated to the professional reflexologist, other options are just generic products to cover the reflexology market.

I personally design, develop and create each product within the ESO range using innovative formulations, with every plant extract sourced and selected to release its therapeutic properties.

I created ESO with a clear mission to give you, the therapist an incredible product range to enhance your client’s experience of the ancient art of reflexology where you can tailor each treatment with luxury modern rituals that nurture and promote vitality. ‘No fuss, no mess and no toxic elements - just vitality in essence’.

Thank you for being part of it.

ESO product range

I created Essence Systemology as I believe in the power of positive human touch, reflexology and the absorptive properties of the feet.

Our feet are highly absorbent and therefore make a perfect platform for each of ESO’s synergistic blends to support the systems of the body and boost vitality. The Essence Systemology product range is a synergistic combination of earth, plant and aroma to bring vitality to the systems of the body. Each ingredient is carefully selected for its therapeutic benefit and follows ESO’s three principles of essence; Aroma, Earth and Plant

Essence of Aroma

Not only do they smell amazing, essential oils derived from aromatic plants help support all systems of the body and mind wellness; for example the skeletal system, the endocrine system and the muscle system..

Essence of the Earth

The earth provides trace elements that rejuvenate and purify.  They take the form of salts, clays, minerals, etc. Himalayan salt and kaolin clay are key ingredients in the ESO products.

Essence of Plants

Plants provide nourishment. Aloe, coconut, calendula, sustainable soya are but a few of the nourishing botanical’s that create the ESO products.

ESO Promise

ESO is driven to provide exceptional reflexology balms and spa products to support reflexology treatments using only natural, organic and ethically sourced ingredients. The feet are highly absorbent and therefore make a perfect platform for each of ESO’s synergistic blends to support the systems of the body and boost vitality.

As a product developer I use strong fundamental ethics that go into the conception, design and creation of each product:

• Each ingredient is carefully selected for its therapeutic properties, its ability to support, nourish, re-mineralise and cleanse.

• the products are Vegan friendly and it goes with out saying that they are not tested on animals and are cruelty free.

• Each product fully conforms to the European Cosmetics Products Safety Regulations and they are created to the standard of excellence by the Good Manufacturing Practice.

• ESO’s reflexology balms and spa product formulations are free from skin irritants such as petrochemicals, sodium lauryl/laureth sulphate and propylene glycol with no synthetic colours, fragrances or preservatives.

• ESO are committed to using packaging and containers that are recyclable to work in harmony with the environment.

• The aluminium jars are protected with a special lining so no contact is made with the inside ingredients and the jars are fully recyclable (also they make great little pots for home use when empty).

• ESO believe that simplicity creates beauty…this means; no fuss, no mess, no hidden ingredients - just unique formulations to enhance your client’s experience of reflexology.

• ESO strive to provide products suitable for all therapists and clients with no exclusions.

• The reflexology balms and products are made in small batches to ensure only the highest quality and they are manufactured in the U.K

Treatments and services

To be able to travel as a therapist around the world and work alongside the most amazing therapists and meet clients from many varied cultures and backgrounds defined me as a therapist, it gave me experience and knowledge of ancient, traditional and modern techniques that are reflected within the treatments I provide.

I have witnessed stress and trauma settle in and cause distress and discomfort in the clients that I treat and it is because of this that I specialise in unraveling this root cause. My ability to observe and listen to what the body really wants to say creates the support journey, treatments and wellness of each client using Aromatherapy, reflexology and specialist massage techniques

Organic, natural and ethically sourced essential oil therapy blends are used in all ESO treatments to boost the body’s own healing abilities to help create homeostasis; a state of balance between mind and body.  

I ensure all treatments are discussed in confidence through personal consultation, this will ensure that the treatments you choose are tailored to your individual needs with home care advice given to enhance your well-being.
