Today is my first day working with clients after taking a break last week to be with family. It was nice to have some routine again.

The last few weeks I’ve been working somatically to soften around the grief, I’ve been moving, drawing and colouring and practicing breathwork and spending a lot of time in nature.

I find the forest is grounding and being by the sea or any large body of water is releasing.

I’ve held space for a lot of grief in the last few years for the changes in physical and emotional health so I’m well practiced at this beefy greify business. But it’s been a long time since the loss of a close loved one, the physical hurt thats so deep is intense.

Knowing what I know now about the fascia and how it holds on to any unprocessed emotions I am learning to 👏🏼let 👏🏼it 👏🏼out! Like my Dadcu (who’s finally reunited with Mamgu) used to say ‘well, mas na mewn’ (better out than in). That was about farts but the same rule applies here I feel! 💨

My reflexologist messaged me last week to say she had a cancellation and offered it to me and I am so so grateful. Diolch Gaynor 💖
It helped ease a lot of the extra physical pain and tension I didn’t realise I was holding in my body. You really can’t draw a line between emotional and physical pain they are intertwined so deeply.

As planned I had kinesiology yesterday with the wonderful and I’m feeling better about heading into the next few weeks. My system is doing as well as can be thanks to all of my wonderful friends, family and neighbours for checking in. I’m officially out of vases 😂💖💐

Today’s society underestimates the power and value of community and I’m here for it!

Thank you again for all of your kind messages and words it’s meant the world.

I’ve reduced my client days during November and December to give myself a little extra space. I’ll still be welcoming clients over the coming weeks — if you’d like to book in before the year ends, you can find my availability via the link in my bio. 💗⬆️🔗

Navigating the familiar ache of grief this week after the sad passing of my beloved Mamgu, Margaret Rose.

She was born and raised in upper Brynaman — a true mountain girl, just like me. I was so blessed to grow up next door to her. She loved telling the story of wrapping me in a shawl as a baby and walking me around the block until I slept. Most nights after school she and Dadcu looked after us, always with a hot meal waiting. They even got Sky so we could watch Cartoon Network!

As I grew older, nothing beat popping in for a cuppa chat and Strictly Come Dancing. A home from home always.

I’ll never forget our trip to America and Canada with Llandybie Male Voice Choir — especially sailing on the Maid of the Mist beneath Niagara Falls. Laughing, drenched in ponchos… a memory I’ll keep forever.

Mamgu had an incredible zest for life: line dancing, swimming, chapel.
Up in a hot air balloon for her 60th.
The Shard, London, for her 80th.
Wallpapering like a pro — she and Mam even decorated Miniest Calon’s nursery at 85.

She adored the water. I’m a water baby because of her — Mam and Mamgu took us swimming every week.

She wasn’t even five feet tall, but she had the biggest heart. Her smile and hugs made me feel a thousand feet tall. She was the first to volunteer when I was learning Omni and reflexology — skills that brought us both comfort in her final months.

This June she celebrated her 90th at home, surrounded by family.

The last few years have been difficult managing the decline of kidney disease. I’m so grateful to my parents for caring for her over these difficult years.

A heartfelt thank you to the Steffan and Derwen ward staff at Glangwili Hospital for caring for her over these last few months.

I am blessed to call Margaret Rose my Mamgu. My heart is full of pride and aching with loss.

Thank you for the messages, cards, flowers, and thoughtful gifts for the girls. Your kindness means more than you know.

Grief is a bloody rollercoaster, and I’m leaning on ALL my tools — welcoming the highs and the lows with compassion.

Thank you to the clients I’ve postponed this week for being so understanding so I can be with family.

My energies are needed with family and at the hospital, so I’m making my circle of demands smaller and won’t be on admin or messages as much.

I’m navigating the bigger waves of life for the first time as a self-employed person and don’t have the benefit of extended time off which had been a bit of a worry whilst leaving the day job.

Actually when it’s come to the crunch, now I’m working more in alignment it lands a little different. I am welcoming working with clients in the coming weeks, it will be a nice distraction. I appreciate it won’t always be easy and I’ll be in touch individually if I do need to reschedule, for now all appointments are going ahead as planned. Availability for Nov–Dec are all up to date and in link ⬆️

I’m deeply grateful for a strong support system — and the space in my weeks to lean into my own self-care practices (the same ones I encourage for you 🌿).

The best way to support right now is by leaving a review or recommending to others, or purchasing Christmas gift vouchers — and continuing to book in via the link in the bio ⬆️.

A gentle reminder if you are a client and need to reschedule, please use the link in your confirmation email. The system applies cancellation charges as per the policy and charges will apply depending on the time scale given.

I’ve been reminded this week that space often appears right when it’s needed most 🕊️
I’ve also learned a new word this week ‘Grelief’ grief and relief a beautiful mashup that’s holding strong for me this week.

I’m grateful for all the kind messages and words from people checking in. Your kindness, patience, and continued support means the world.

Diolch 💞

🌿 Complementary therapies are an excellent tool for supporting your health — whether you’re fit and well and wanting some R&R, or navigating chronic conditions and looking for relief.

It’s so important to find what works for you in everyday life in between those appointments. Finding ways for you that regulate your nervous system care on a daily basis is essential!

It’s not up to your practitioner to ‘fix you’ every few months. More to come on this in a future post. I’m guilty of this, for years I outsourced my nervous system!

For me, it’s being in nature and noticing those little glimmers that bring calm and connection. ✨

Whether it’s working with the breath, rolling out your yoga mat, somatic movement, going for a swim, screaming into a pillow, drawing, kitchen disco or losing yourself crafts or crochet — you do you 💚

Whatever helps you process and reconnect each day.

A recent glimmer for me was spotting these beautiful red leaves amongst the evergreens 🍁

The next installment in the client reflections series. Shared with permission from a wonderful client navigating the waves of life.

‘’Life is full on — working, caring for a disabled person, keeping all the plates spinning. My body gets tired, and my mind never stops.

After my treatments with Lynsey, my brain slows down. I can switch off, rest, and think clearly again. It’s like pressing reset — my batteries are recharged, and my energy flows freely once more.

The energy around Lynsey as she works feels soothing, loving, caring, and safe — encouraging a deep sense of calm (often missing from everyday life). For me, it’s the equivalent of a good night’s sleep!

Reflexology has kept me going — physically and mentally — while navigating the waves of life.

Diolch, Lynsey 🩷”

You also deserve this kind of care, my inbox is open for questions and the booking link is in the bio.

🍂October Reflection — Six Months of Going Solo

🍂 Myfyrdodau Hydref — Chwe Mis o Weithio’n Annibynnol

October has felt like a deep breath out — a halfway milestone!

This month closing marks six months since I left my day job to do this full time!

October highlights:
💚 Well underway with my lymphatic drainage case study, and seeing remarkable results — limb skin tone and texture changing from red, hard and swollen to calmer, more natural tones. Clients describing their limbs as less angry, softer, lighter, and no longer so tight. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness these shifts, even after just one session!

Starting social media mentoring sessions with the lovely Emily from .andco to keep me focused on being consistent with social media and encouraging me to try new things! 🫶

🛏️ Welcoming my new co-worker, ‘Gloria y Gwely’ — the dream treatment couch at Calon HQ. She’s already bringing extra comfort and calm to every treatment.

As I reflect on these six months, I’m filled with gratitude — for every client who’s trusted me, for every kind word, recommendation, like, share, and review has shown me how important leaning into my strengths has been.

I definitely don’t have it nailed (who does!) being self employed is not to be taken lightly! Especially last week when I had a full calendar and then a 1/3 of the booked appointments rescheduled - learning to welcome the space, because it was needed!

I do have a new found respect for all you sole traders out there!!

I’m pleased to report my honest shares aren’t scaring you off! Not even the crotchless un**es - medical purposes of course! FB followers - you’ll have to join insta too see the reel. 🤭

And… there’s more to come with exciting plans the end of this week💫

Also phase 2 is loading over the next 6 -12 months! 🧠✨

But first my Winter wellbeing! I always find the first few ‘ber’ months cosy and fun and nice to be inside more. By the time the clocks turn back I’m over it! I can’t get into nature as much as my nervous system would like. So over the next few months, I’ll be focusing on connection and self-care, filling up my cup first. ☕️

✨I’m very grateful for this beautiful feedback. It’s so easy to shrug off praise — to rush past it and on to the next thing. I’ve made a conscious effort to let this land!

As you can see I’ve developed a gentle and intuitive approach to my work. Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD) is a gentle yet powerful technique that supports the body’s lymphatic flow. Helping bring ease to inflammation, swelling, lymphoedema and for supporting good health.

Today is World Mental Health day and has me reflecting on how deeply our mind and body are connected.

Heddiw yw Diwrnod Iechyd Meddwl y Byd, ac mae’n fy ngwneud i fyfyrio ar ba mor gysylltiedig yw’r corff a’r meddwl.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach,
mental health is deeply personal and means different things to different people.

A few years ago when I was heading head-first into burnout, I didn’t listen to the signs.
Since then, I’ve learned that being neurodivergent can mean processing interoception — the internal signals from our body — differently.

I often say this here:

“The body speaks before the mind catches up.”

I didn’t realise that an upset tummy and lack of appetite in the mornings were signs of stress and anxiety.
But that wasn’t the only sign. Then came the fatigue, palpitations, the constant internal monologue, poor sleep, brain fog, hair loss and more.

All of those were my body’s way of trying to keep me safe — signals that my emotional and mental wellbeing needed attention.

When you’re in the depths of it, it can feel isolating. Finding tools to support yourself when you’re struggling is hard — but talking helps.

You can always speak to your GP or call 111.
If that feels too much, start small. Ask someone you trust:

“Have you got 10 minutes?”

There are many ways to support your mental health and wellbeing, including talking therapies and complementary therapies.

The Mental Health First Aid course was really helpful for me — it gave me practical tools to support and sign post others within my remit as a complementary health practitioner.

Whatever route you choose, remember:

Your mind and body are always in conversation — the more we learn to listen, the kinder we can be to ourselves. 💖

📸 Photo by the miniest calon: “Red and flustered Lynsey” — a little overwhelmed by a beautiful (and slightly overstimulating) social situation on my senses.

I mentioned earlier this week — after a fairly honest (and accidental) share about my internalised ableism — that I’d bring a bit more authenticity to this page.

That post connected with so many of you! I deleted it because it wasn’t meant for here — but it reminded me how powerful it can be to share with ✨intention✨.

What people don’t often talk about, when it comes to a later-in-life neurodivergent realisation and burnout, is the skills regression that can come with it.

Things you used to do with ease suddenly don’t come easily anymore.
And if you’re neurodivergent with XY hormones, it can feel even harder in midlife — because the perimenopausal drop in hormones affects dopamine, serotonin, executive functioning, and that little thing I didn’t even know I relied on so much: masking.

There’s a journey in learning to support yourself through that.

I’ve learned how important it is to know your values, hold your boundaries, and find the right support system — whether that’s therapy, coaching, mentoring, complementary therapies, or finding your tribe online.

Because when you talk to someone who gets it — it’s like looking in a mirror.
And you think, oh… I’m not alone after all. 💛

Social situations and crowds don’t come with ease — so here’s to pushing that safe circle when it aligns with your values.

In this season of the “both / and,” it’s just as important to recognise when things aren’t working for you — to leave early, show up later, or postpone.

Your body speaks long before your brain catches up.
Learning to listen after years of overriding it is a new skill in itself.

Focusing on one-to-one work has been a meaningful shift — creating safe spaces for others and for me online and in person.

If this resonates, please like, save, or share with someone who might connect with these words. 💜

✨ “I needed that more than I realised.” ✨

Sometimes the body speaks before the brain catches up.
Only when we pause, tune into the body, and allow ourselves space to relax, do we notice how much we were holding.

When the nervous system feels safe, it shifts from “fight or flight” (sympathetic) into “rest and digest” (parasympathetic). This is when our breathing slows, our heart rate steadies, and our digestive system kicks back in.

One of my favourite signs? The gently tummy rumbles! 💜

By the time they left, they were definitely back in rest-and-digest mode. That’s exactly what the body needs to heal, reset, and restore.
