Statutory Registration

Christo is registered with the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa (AHPCSA), the statutory body that regulates Therapeutic Reflexology, giving you the assurance of a recognised, accountable practitioner.

 

Two Decades of Experience

More than twenty years of hands-on therapeutic practice means a depth of skill and judgement that comes only with time.

 

A Foot-Centred Speciality

Christo works exclusively through the feet using non-invasive techniques, supported by advanced training in foot health and mechanics, a deliberate speciality rather than a general offering.

 

Genuinely Individualised Sessions

Each visit begins with a check-in and adapts to how you feel that day, your lifestyle pressures and your goals, so no two sessions are the same.

 

Research-Informed Practice

A doctoral background in reflexology practice means your care is grounded in evidence and current thinking, not routine alone.

 

Convenient, Confidential & After-Hours

A private consulting space in Tygervalley, Cape Town, with after-hours appointments designed around demanding schedules.

What patients have to say

Christo Scheepers is a highly professional and skilled therapeutic reflexologist.  In 2020, after chemo treatment, I started sessions on a monthly basis; 5 years later, I am a regular patient now.  It has improved circulation, relaxation of my muscles, and enhanced my body’s natural healing processes.  His calm demeaner makes you feel comfortable.

Cancer Remission Patient

Christo Scheepers is an amazing reflexologist.  He took the time to understand my specific concerns and explained everything in a way that made me feel comfortable and informed.  I felt pain relief after my session.  He is a highly skilled and trained professional.

Recurring Patient

My husband and I struggled with infertility and while in South Africa, I received therapeutic reflexology from Christo.  Being back in my country, I just want to thank Christo for his amazing and professional service; I am 6 weeks pregnant and everything is going well with the pregnancy.

International Patient

I experienced my first ever therapeutic reflexology treatment and Christo was so professional and made me feel comfortable and pampered.  Thank you for the most amazing relaxation ever.  I’ll be back soon!

Female Pastor Patient

Endometriosis resulted in extreme monthly pain to the point where I had to regularly take time off work and as a doctor, I could not continue to take so much time off.  I tried therapeutic reflexology with Christo and have not taken off from work due to Endometriosis pain ever since.

Healthcare Practitioner Patient

I have been struggling with regular bladder infections and since beginning therapeutic reflexology sessions with Christo, I had no bladder infections.

Healthcare Practitioner Patient

When people win the lotto they want a full-time butler or cook; not me, when I win the lotto I’ll come to you twice a week because you are very good and the only one getting all my stress out.

Persistent Patient

That was VERY nice.  I came for reflexology because I just heard good things about Christo, and now I can say it is all true.  My mom always go for reflexology but now I can tell her I also went and I really enjoyed it!

First Time Corporate Wellness Patient

You have amazing hands, Christo, you know exactly which spots to press!

Pregnant Patient

After five years of receiving therapeutic reflexology from you, you are still the best in your field!

Mother and Son Patients

I feel so much better after receiving therapeutic reflexology from Christo Scheepers; it is so amazing for more treatment because this is a therapy that actually works!

Plantar Fasciitis Patient

I am so overwhelmed; I heard today that I’m 8 weeks pregnant.  Thank you, Christo, for being part of my journey to become pregnant.  My husband and I shall always remember how professionally you assisted us through our fertility journey.

Pregnant Patient

Christo, when you touch my feet to give me therapeutic reflexology, it is intimate because I do not allow just anyone to touch my feet.  I allow my friends to hold my hands, but I do not let them touch my feet; it is too intimate.

Young Adult Patient

When Christo does therapeutic reflexology on my feet, I turn to jelly; I told my husband that after Christo touches my feet, I walk out of his office feeling like a jellyfish; totally relaxed!

Healthcare Provider Patient

Christo has fantastic, firm grips and good strong pressure!  Very, very enjoyable … Well done!

Reflexologist Patient

I have been privileged to have had Christo do regular sessions with me after my cancer treatment; he is so professional in the manner he treats his patients with respect.

Cancer Patient

Christo, thank you for my foot treatment today.  When I arrived home and I took off my shoes and smelled the sweet smell of the creams you used on my feet, then I thought, you are actually doing a humbling and special work because every day you anoint and heal many people’s feet like in the days of Moses and Jesus when they washed and anointed the visitors’ feet.  Just think how many broken people, especially women, you have touched with healing through your profession!

Christian Patient

Christo is friendly and very informative.  The therapeutic reflexology sessions were a relaxing experience and it feels as if it is stimulating digestion.  Not sure what you did, but I felt so good and relaxed after the session.  I usually wake up at least twice during the night, but after the reflexology session, I slept right through the night.  I cannot believe this.

Doctor Patient

As a teenage girl of 16, I think Christo is very good.  He is friendly and he knows what he is doing.  The reflexology sessions were very good and I learnt things about my body that I did not know.

Teenage Patient

Thank you for your integrity, Christo, when you referred me rather than just continuing with more treatment sessions made me realise just what type of a professional you are because you could easily just continue with treatment, but when you had the discussion with me and referred me to another type of healthcare professional, you made a real impression!

Referred Patient

Christo is absolutely amazing as a therapeutic reflexologist; he may touch my feet anytime.

The Human Foot is Fascinating

The human foot is such a masterpiece that it carries the entire weight of the body, assists with balance and is used for movement (on average about 9000 steps per day), yet so many people neglect and feel embarrassed about their feet.

There is no need to feel embarrassed about your feet in the world of therapeutic reflexology.

A Therapeutic Reflexologist works with all kinds of feet in all shapes, sizes and conditions and what you may feel embarrassed about, may in actual fact give valuable information to the therapeutic reflexologist about your overall wellbeing.
