Foot and facial reflexology to regulate mood, sleep + stress. Helping exhausted, overwhelmed women (+ men) unwind.

17/12/2025

Winter asks us to slow down, rest, hibernate. December does… the opposite.

The shortest days of the year arrive just as life gets louder, busier, more demanding. End-of-term chaos, deadlines, social stuff, family stuff, everything stuff.

And sometimes “just take a break” isn’t an option.

These are not self-care rituals that need an hour, silence, or a yoga mat. They’re small, almost forgettable moments that help your nervous system land — even when you’re running on fumes.

Feeling the floor under your feet. Warm hands over your heart. A familiar soundtrack while you clean up again. A scent that signals “I’m still here.”

Tiny things don’t fix everything. But they can help you feel a little more grounded inside the chaos — until you get to properly rest.

Save this for the days that feel relentless. And if today is one of them, start with just one 🫶

You know those moments where your mind suddenly goes completely blank? You walk into a room and have no idea why. You lose your train of thought mid-sentence. You forget the name of someone you’ve known for twenty years…

And for a split second you think ‘Is something… wrong with me?’

It’s not dementia. It’s not ageing. It’s not you “losing it.”

It’s overwhelm. Pure nervous-system overload.

Women in their 40s and 50s are carrying more than most people realise — the emotional load, the mental load, the household, work, ageing parents, kids, pets, appointments, Christmas planning… all of it sits quietly on your system like background static.

And when your nervous system never gets a proper reset, it stays stuck in alert mode. That’s when you see:
– brain fog
– forgetfulness
– poor concentration
– that wired-but-exhausted feeling
– irritability
– decision fatigue

Your brain isn’t failing you. It’s tired. And your body is trying to cope with a level of input it was never designed to hold 24/7.

If you’re juggling everything and feel like your brain has left the chat…reflexology offers a deeply relaxing system reset ✨

Welcome to day 8 of your advent CALMendar!

If you’re a fellow coastal resident then I invite you to get outside to sniff the sea breeze today. Sea air is packed with negative ions — tiny charged particles that have been shown to boost serotonin, lift mood, sharpen mental clarity, and help your body shift out of stress mode.

So this festive season, if everything feels a bit much, step outside, face the water, and sniff the sea breeze. Your mind, mood, lungs, and sleep will thank you ✨

Before your mind goes wandering… I’m talking about five-finger breathing. The quickest, easiest way to settle your nerves when everything feels a bit too much.

You can do this at your desk, at the lights, in the queue or while someone is talking at you for far too long.

Try it with me in the reel and save it for your next “I need a minute” moment ✨

You don’t magically get more energy at the end of the day… you just run out of reasons to keep pushing.

Start flipping the script: put your rest in the diary first and let everything else fit around it.

Tiny pauses. Planned breaks. Actual breathing space.

It’s the simplest shift — and the one that stops you hitting that 5pm wall every single day ✨

We’re day 6 of my advent CALMendar and I hope you’re feeling way more chilled this festive season? If you have any top tips, I’d love to hear them 🫶
