If your periods feel heavy, painful, or exhausting - your body may be calling for balance.

An excess of omega-6 can lead to the production of prostaglandins, which trigger inflammation and discomfort.

But there’s a gentler, more natural way to support your body.

Through a simple test, I can check your omega 6:3 ratio and guide you toward restoring harmony - naturally.

No need to mask symptoms with the pill - true healing begins when we listen to what our body is trying to tell us.

Message me to learn more about testing and rebalancing your omega 6:3 levels.

🧠 World Stroke Day | Reflexology & Recovery

A stroke can have a profound impact on both body and mind. Alongside essential medical care and rehabilitation, some people recovering from stroke also turn to reflexology as a way to support their wellbeing.

Reflexology is a complementary therapy involving gentle pressure on specific areas of the feet, hands or face. While it is not a treatment for stroke itself, emerging research suggests it may:
✨ Help reduce anxiety and stress
🌿 Support relaxation and emotional wellbeing
🌙 Improve sleep quality and overall comfort
💓 Promote a sense of balance and calm during recovery

Many stroke survivors experience heightened tension, fatigue and anxiety - factors that can make rehabilitation more challenging. Reflexology may help ease some of these symptoms, supporting a more holistic recovery journey.

⚠️ Important reminders:
• Always seek medical clearance before starting reflexology after a stroke.
• Work with a qualified practitioner who can adapt treatment to your needs (e.g., mobility challenges, sensation changes, or spasticity).
• Avoid treatment if there is active DVT, open wounds or foot infection.

Reflexology works best when used alongside, not instead of, medical and rehabilitative care. For many people, it can offer a gentle space for calm and comfort during a time of major change. 💜

I received this text message this morning from a lovely client who had booked herself in for The Complete Wellness Package…..

She came in with shoulder and neck pain and left feeling completely renewed - relaxed, comfortable, and glowing.

It’s amazing what happens when we give the body space to heal. 💕

Have you ever wondered if your cells are as healthy as they could be?

I’ve had lots of enquiries about what exactly Zinzino Balance Oil is, so I thought I’d explain a little more about their Balance Test and why I’m so passionate about it.

Did you know your body has around 37 trillion cells?

Every single one has a “wall” called a cell membrane, and I like to think of it like the walls of a house. Just like a house protects the people inside, a cell membrane protects your cell and controls what comes in and out. It also helps your cells communicate with each other - like neighbours sharing important information.

The types of fats in your cell membranes matter a lot. If the walls are made from the “wrong” fats (too much omega-6, not enough omega-3), the house can start to feel unstable. Your cells might not communicate properly, inflammation can rise, and your energy, mood, and overall wellbeing can be affected.

When your cells aren’t functioning optimally, you might notice things like fatigue, low mood, brain fog, poor sleep, aches or joint pain, digestive issues, or frequent colds. Over time, an imbalance like this can increase the risk of chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalance, or other long-term health issues.

That’s why testing is so important. The Balance Test from Zinzino shows you exactly where your omega levels are and how your cells are functioning. No guessing, no hoping - just clear information about what your body truly needs.

From there, the Balance Oil helps restore the right balance, supporting your cells, your nervous system, and your overall wellbeing.

The future of health is testing, not guessing. 🧬✨

I’m excited to share that I’ve recently partnered with Zinzino - bringing a whole new level of personalised wellbeing to my clients.

Who are Zinzino?
Zinzino are global leaders in test-based nutrition, helping you discover what’s really happening inside your body -right down to the cellular level.

So many of us look healthy on the outside - eating well, staying active, doing all the “right” things - but inside, our cells can still be struggling.

Their Omega 6:3 Balance Test offers a simple, science-backed way to see how balanced (or inflamed) your cells truly are.

When your cells are out of balance, it can lead to fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, hormonal issues, and stubborn inflammation.

But once you start bringing your body back into balance, everything can change:
✨ Energy lifts
✨ Focus sharpens
✨ Hormones balance
✨ Skin and mood improve

I’m so excited to offer this alongside my holistic treatments - helping you feel your best, from the inside out.

If you’d like to learn more about the test and how it can support you, comment HEALTH below or send me a DM and I’ll share the details.

Have you ever heard the saying:

“Listen to your body when it whispers so you don’t have to hear it scream”?

It’s something I speak to many of my clients about - and something I continue to practice myself.

Our bodies are incredibly wise.

They’re constantly communicating with us - through our energy levels, skin, digestion, mood, sleep, and even our cravings.

But with the pace of modern life, it’s so easy to miss those gentle messages until they become louder.

Sometimes, what feels like tiredness, brain fog, or irritability is actually our body’s way of asking for balance - on a much deeper level.

Often, what’s happening inside our cells can show up as those little “whispers” long before we realise it.

So this is your reminder to pause.

To rest.

To nourish yourself with foods, thoughts, and habits that support you - not deplete you.

Your body is always speaking to you.

The question is - are you listening?

Facial Reflexology and Zone Face Lift aren’t just about glowing skin - they’re powerful, holistic therapies that support your whole body and mind.

Your face reflects your internal health.

Tension, imbalance, and stress can appear as tight muscles, jaw clenching, or dullness around the eyes and cheeks.

Both of these therapies work on facial points that connect directly to your organs, systems, and nervous system, helping your body restore balance naturally.

Facial Reflexology:
💕 Gently stimulates reflex points on the face to calm the nervous system
💕 Improves circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the skin and supporting tissue repair
💕 Releases tension in the jaw, forehead, and temples, reducing headaches and stress

Zone Face Lift:
💕 Targets specific facial zones to tone and lift muscles
💕 Enhances lymphatic flow, helping reduce puffiness and support detoxification
💕 Encourages a natural, radiant glow while also promoting internal balance

Together, these therapies:
💕 Support hormone balance, digestion, and energy regulation through facial reflex points
💕 Help your body move from stress into relaxation
💕 Create a visible glow while nurturing your mind and body

It’s more than a beauty treatment - it’s self-care that works from the inside out.

Get in touch to make an appointment ❤️

I feel called to share this because lately I’ve seen so many women who feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and guilty for needing a break.

Rest isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.

Needing a break doesn’t make you lazy. Slowing down doesn’t make you weak.

Your body is simply telling you it’s time to pause.

So many of us live in constant “go” mode - doing, proving, pushing… until exhaustion forces us to stop.

But what if rest didn’t have to be earned? What if we allowed ourselves small pockets of calm every day?

I see it so often - when a woman slows down and lets herself rest, real healing can begin.

Rest helps reset the nervous system, reduce stress hormones, support sleep, and restore energy. It’s the body’s natural way of repairing itself.

Simple ways to rest during the day:

💕 Step outside for a few quiet minutes
💕 Book a treatment or create a small ritual for yourself
💕 Enjoy a cuppa without scrolling through your phone
💕 End your day with deep breathing, stretching, or gratitude

You don’t have to wait for burnout to make yourself a priority.

You can rest now, not later.

Rest isn’t selfish. It’s essential. And it’s where balance begins.

Today is World Mental Health Day.

A gentle reminder that your mental health deserves care, attention, and compassion - every single day.

Life can feel busy and overwhelming at times, and it’s easy to put your own wellbeing to the side while taking care of everyone else.

But looking after your mind isn’t selfish - it’s essential.

Taking a few quiet moments to breathe, rest, or reconnect with yourself can make a real difference.

Small steps count - they build resilience, calm, and clarity over time.

At Vedra Therapies, I’m passionate about supporting everyone to find balance through holistic treatments and self-care practices that nurture both body and mind.

However you choose to mark today, I hope you take a moment just for you.
