I am beyond excited to share that my beautiful friend Ellissa, an incredible reiki healer and I are teaming up once a month to offer something truly special:

🌿 45 minutes of Reflexology with me
🌸 45 minutes of Energy Healing with Ellissa

I will be bringing my deep knowledge and compassionate touch to help release physical pain, support balance, and ease tension in the body.

And Ellissa will be offering her energy healing sessions, combining Reiki, Light Language, and Angel Healing to help clear energetic blocks, restore harmony, and awaken your soul to its natural state of peace, clarity, and alignment!

Together, these two powerful modalities create a full-body + soul reset.

Our very first date together is September 3rd, and spaces are already starting to book up. ✨

Do you like the ability to choose supplements for your health or medications? How would you feel if they were not accessible any longer? There is some sneaky business happening that I want to bring awareness to. Disclaimer: I am just learning about this, there will be more to come as I learn more. If you are a medical professional, a natural practitioner or a veterinarian or you know of one, please send this to them or take a listen yourself❤️much appreciated

This Little Ball

This little ball has so many uses here at Meraki!

It is great for rolling your foot on…. It allows the fascia in your feet to relax while supporting your nervous system. It is strangly addictive, feels weird at first, but believ me, you will be eqsilu adding this to your self care!🌈
It helps for many foot aches and pains, plantar fascitis for sure, but go slow and keep or light, more is not better for an angry tendon😡

I have also been know to slip this little guy in that rude spot in the back that just won’t let up. You know the one. This one hurts so good🎶😄

Fact or Fiction?

Menopause begins at age 50
Fact or Fiction?

The average age of menopause is age 52, but you may start the perimenopause phase anywhere from your late 30’s to early 60’s, Yes 60’s (although rare)

You are officially in menopause when you have not had your period for 365 days. That means, if you don’t have your period for 10 months, then have it, start the clock all over again.

The perimenopause phase can last a few months to up to 15 years before menopause!!!

S*x hormones start to fluctuate creating a storm of symptoms. We now know that with the fluctuations of these hormones we become inflamed. Ageing also causes inflammation. This increased inflammation brings about the majority of our symptoms. The term is called Inflammageing.

Now, more than ever, is the time to take a look at what we are ingesting, our stress levels, our movement and our joy.

Interested in why your Reflexologist would say “this feels crunchy”?

When a Reflexologist says, "this feels crunchy" or "I can feel the crystals" what do they mean?

Uric Acid or Calcium

We can accumulate uric acid crystals on our nerve endings.
You may have heard of uric acid along with a discussion about Gout? Having felt crystals or crunchiness does not mean you have or are moving towards Gout. Gout results from hyperuricaemia, a condition of increased levels of uric acid crystals in the blood that develops unrealized over years. The crystals literally cut through the synovial fluid sacks surrounding the joints, releasing the synovial fluid, and leaving the joint unprotected.

This is very painful

Reflexology can play a huge role in assisting people suffering from this swollen, red, hot, extremely painful condition.

One needs a dedicated multi-factorial approach is necessary to overcome gout. Doctors recommend an avoidance of alcohol, fructose-laden (sugary) foods and obesity. Exercise, vitamin C, and moderate consumption of coffee and dairy products are known to decrease the risk of insulin resistance and subsequent attacks of gout. Restoring a healthy digestive tract through dietary changes work to keep urates soluble/dissolvable. During an attack, soaking the foot in a warm epsom salt bath, followed by icing of the joint for 10 to 20 minutes, three times a day is suggested.
Since gout attacks occur more at night, when the body’s temperature has dropped and is tired, sufferers might also want to look at their sleep habits. Get plenty of regular sleep; go to bed before you’re exhausted and keep the body warm.

REFLEXOLOGY’S ROLE
Reflexology can decrease the pain associated with inflammation, support the taxed adrenal glands, help to flush the body of excess uric acid crystals and relax a hyper-stimulated body.
Don't worry, a skilled Reflexologist would not work directly on the affected joint. They may choose to work the hand, ears, around the joint, the adrenals, kidney and the lymphatic reflexes. Having regular reflexology sessions may help to decrease the uric acid/calcium attached to the nerve endings, making communication in the body better and bringing the body back to balance.

**Please note that reflexology will assist in the recovery of gout. It is not a substitute for the lifestyle changes necessary to overcome this painful condition.

Have you ever suffered with Gout?
