NEW BLOG POST - I get asked about this quite often so I thought I’d put it in a blog post.

No, I’m not perfect (I should exercise more) or preaching (I’m no guru nor a doctor) - im just a human trying to support my health in a gentler, more holistic way.

Link to the blog post is in my bio if you’re keen to find out what this looks like. No medical advice, hacks, or gimmicks just what works for me.

Leave a comment here once you’ve read it, I’d love to know how you approach your health?

The secret is finally out. So after much mulling over hosting my first retreat, I’ve finally found a gem of a venue and I want you there!

Why retreats? Well, the most common theme I’ve seen in my practice during 5yrs of business is women who yes want reflexology but more so they just want an hour to themselves. But why only give yourself an hour? So I wanted to find a way of extending your self care outside of my clinic walls. Instead of one hour, you’ll have days of much needed s p a c e - no forced “wellness”, just time to do whatever your soul needs.

Imagine a daily (not too early) morning yoga class on the roof terrace. You’ll have total freedom to do whatever you want: lay by the pool with a book, walk to the beach, explore the local markets (group boat trip to the Fuseta islands anyone?) Brainstorm an idea with the group. Food is a big part of the experience (the Portuguese love their food) Brunch and dinner are freshly prepared daily, served in the restaurant (and yes, you can order wine!)

Come for solo time, come for quality time with a bestie or come for connection - either way, you’ll get exactly what you need away from the shoulds and shalln’ts of the daily grind.

Full details are now on up my website with the Early Bird price until this Friday 21st March 2025!

I’m giddy with excitement and can’t wait to share this experience with you.

Com muito amor,

Chrissy xox

I champion and celebrate the amazing women in my circle all year round but today I want to take a second to celebrate me. Not a very “ladylike” thing to do but I’m resisting the stigma.

I’ve also resisted people’s advice to simply get more therapies under my belt to get more clients and grow my business…

The thing is, it would feel like me giving up on reflexology - silly I know but it’s how I feel! Plus I don’t want to be a one-stop-shop kind of holistic therapist with a menu of offerings. (No shade whatsoever on those who do this btw - this is just my own personal choice 💙)

Look, I’m no guru and probably not woo-woo enough for some (we can’t please everyone). But I do care about sharing this one therapy that literally saved me whilst recovering from neurosurgery plus all the real results my clients have achieved through regular reflexology with me.

The bespoke insights into our health from our feet(!) still BLOWS MY MIND. And the cool thing is my expertise will only improve as I age because all feet present so differently so I’m constantly learning.

If this encourages just one woman to trust her intuition and celebrate her achievements then that will make my day.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk 😆

In January I see a lot of people focusing on detoxing (supplements, diets, body brushing, etc) without giving their nervous system a second thought. But here’s a thought:

- If your nervous system is on high alert your body can’t digest or drain lymph (aka the fluid carrying your immunity cells)
- If it can’t poo or drain lymph, you can’t detox (aka toxins start to accumulate)
- When you accumulate toxins it increases inflammation (hello rashes, allergies, cold/flu, irregular periods) which then drives stress.
- Stress affects your nervous system and puts you into a sympathetic state (“fight or flight”) and the cycle starts over again…

What I am getting at? Before starting any sort of protocol, stop to notice how regulated you are first.

If you’ve been on the edge of burnout for a while then you’ll first need to focus on making your body feel safe enough to turn on your “rest and digest” parasympathetic state which will allow all those other autonomic functions work effectively.

Do something every day that makes you unfurl… this will look different for everyone so here are some of my personal favourites:

- Watching the sea or a wood burner
- listening to rain
- Yin Yoga / Yoga Nidra
- Diaphragmatic breathing
- Singing & dancing to 90s bangers
- A brisk walk in nature
- Chatting with old friends
- Watch comedy
- Take an Epsom salt bath (or sea swim)
- Petting my cats
- Getting quality sleep
- Read a good book
- Reflexology + Acupuncture (obvs)

Let me know below what you’re gonna do daily to help your nervous system?

Feeling very grateful for all the clients who have invested in me and trusted me with their wellbeing this year. I care about each and every one of you!🦶🏼

And for all the amazing small business owners I’ve conected with in the past year. Thank you for not making me feel alone and for inspiring me ✨

Im ending this year with positive health news - a trial of a third medication showed its working so my Acromegaly is finally under control 🙌🏼

This new year I want to dare to get fitter, feel stronger and to dream bigger. The intention is there but we all need help getting there. Yes, me included.

Wishing you a very happy Christmas and look forward to seeing you dare yourselves in 2025 🤎
