When I first decided on a career in Physiotherapy, I thought my path was set.

I loved helping people feel better, but over time I realised something was missing…

Many of my patients were still holding on to stress, tension & emotions that all impacted their physical ailments.

It wasn’t in my remit to address these, although I instinctively knew that I needed to if I truly wanted to help them heal 💖

⏩ Fast forward to my own burn out & recovery through aromatherapy massage.

After I got well, I found the best training course in the country & off I went to Raworth International in Surrey 🧳

The Natural Health Practitioner’s course that I enrolled on included clinical aromatherapy, Swedish & remedial massage, homeopathic first aid, nutrition, basic counselling and … reflexology.

This was the first time I’d ever heard of reflexology. My initial thought?

I have to touch people’s feet?!? 😱

I was curious. How could working on the feet possibly affect the whole body?

The more I learned, the more it made sense. Everything is connected, & of course touching the feet, with its thousands of nerve endings, is going to elicit a relaxation response.

I wasn’t convinced that it could be used clinically until I started my case studies.

One woman in her 60s was suffering from sciatica - after a few sessions she could walk without pain.

Another client thought they were fine, but their kidney reflex told me otherwise. Although we don’t diagnose, I advised her to visit her GP and tests revealed kidney stones.

Reflexology gave me a new perspective, one that felt more complete. It allowed me to bring together my background in physio with a holistic approach that honours both body and mind.

This is why I made the shift from physio to feet … and why I’m so passionate about sharing the power of reflexology today 🙌🏽

I’d love to know - are you a fan of reflexology? 🤔

Everything you desire, is already yours 💖 This is the abundant energy of the summer solstice.

Soak up the early morning/late evening sun, connect with your heart space and try these journal prompts:

☀️ Who/what makes my heart full?

☀️ Currently, I’m so very grateful for ….. in my life

☀️ What does my heart want to call in during the next six months?

Solstice blessings 💖

P.S. Thanks to Hen for the beautiful setting for our annual summer solstice class 🙏🏽

Welcome to a brand new feature where each month we celebrate those who have embraced holistic wellness 💖

Our first success story is Foronda.

Foronda came to me 6 months ago after a herniated disc left her with low back pain.

She was frustrated as she’d always been physically active & it was stopping her from gardening and affecting her quality of life.

We devised a treatment plan comprising of:

✔️ Deep tissue massage

✔️ Postural retraining

✔️ Improving core strength

✔️ Lifestyle advice

Fast forward 6 months and Foronda is living her best life! 🙌🏽

She says “the injury forced me to look after myself. My mum says I’ve always been a ‘workhorse’ and this has taught me that I need to make time for me.”

And athough she came for help with back pain, she also noticed improvements in other areas too! 🎉

Foronda has been motivated to join a weekly fitness class and hasn’t missed a session since she started.

Well done Foronda, you’re going into your next decade like a boss! 👏🏽

A huge congratulations to everyone who crossed the finish line at the London Marathon! 🏃🏽‍♀️

Whether you smashed a PB or simply made it through, your body deserves serious care now.

Here are a few key recovery tips to help you feel your best over the next few days:

✔️ Rehydrate and refuel: Drink plenty of water and focus on protein and carbohydrates to repair muscles and replenish energy stores.

✔️ Keep moving: Light walking and gentle stretching help circulation and reduce stiffness.

✔️ Prioritise sleep: Deep recovery happens while you rest. Aim for good, uninterrupted sleep.

✔️ Book a massage: Sports or recovery massage can ease soreness, improve blood flow, and help you heal faster.

✔️ Listen to your body: Some soreness is normal, but sharp pain needs extra attention- don't push through injuries.

✔️ Be kind to yourself - recovery is just as much a part of your marathon as race day itself.

It’s back to yoga after two weeks off and this term the focus is CORE 🔥

Core strength in yoga isn’t just about looking good for summer - it’s about building your foundation 💪🏽

Your core supports everything - from your posture and balance to how you breathe and move through the world.

A strong core:

✔️ Supports your spine

✔️ Reduces pain

✔️ Helps you feel more stable, centred, and confident on (and off) the mat.

So yes, core work might tone your abs—but more importantly, it connects you to your power.

Who’s joining me?! New members most welcome! Message me for more info 😊
