🌿 Are you aware that reflexology can help support your body by helping to balance your hormones?

🌿 Not only can reflexology help balance your hormones to reduce perimenopause / menopause symptoms, it can also help to balance irregular menstrual cycles and aid in supporting conception.

🌿 I first turned to Reflexology 22 years ago in an attempt to regulate my cycle.

🌿 Having experienced years with little to no menstruation, being diagnosed at 20 with PCOS, it wasn’t until I was engaged that I decided to get to grips with what was going on with my body.

🌿 My Doctor encouraged me to take the contraceptive pill as it would provide me with a monthly bleed - but for me this was not addressing the underlying issue.

🌿 Researching best I could (with what was available at the time) I came across the PCOS books by Colette Harris which led me to THE MOST WONDERFULLY INFORMATIVE BOOK by Toni Weschler ‘TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR FERTILITY’. (I strongly believe that all females should read this book in order to understand and truly appreciate how amazing our bodies are)

🌿 ‘Taking Charge of your Fertility’ is what led me to Reflexology.

Now, please don’t think that this was a quick fix.

It wasn’t.

Did I persevere? Yes

Did I have regular sessions? Absolutely, at least twice a month.

Did I notice any changes? Most definitely.

My reproductive reflexes were extremely tender and painful when touched - such a sharp pain that took my breath away!

After some 9 months of treatment, this pain vanished completely.

In all, I would say that it took some 18 months of regular, consistent reflexology treatment in addition to following the Fertility Awareness Method (see ‘Taking Charge of your Fertility’ for details) nutrition and healing before I conceived.

🌿 Many have mentioned how reflexology helps with their perimenopausal symptoms - from reducing the intensity and frequency of hot flushes and headaches to improved sleep and everything in between.

🌿 Reflexology is a wonderfully powerful yet gentle treatment that works to bring balance to your body and mind.

🌿Being able to support women during the different phases of their lives is a real privilege.

🌿 If you feel drawn to Reflexology, please do get in touch.

To support our healthcare services across Hywel Dda, the Same Day Urgent Care (SDUC) service at Cardigan Integrated Care Centre (SA43 1JX) will be open on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 January between 9am and 6.30pm.

The service brings together urgent primary care, minor injuries and some same-day urgent care in one place, led by experienced advanced urgent care practitioners.

Please phone 01239 807019 before attending to speak to a triage nurse who can then arrange an appointment time to attend.
Our services are currently under pressure due to an increase in demand. By selecting the right service for your illness or injury, you're not only looking after your health but using your NHS services responsibly. This then helps us to treat and care for you appropriately.

🌸 Ladies, just putting this out there.

Throughout our lives we transition from one phase of life to another, possibly without giving them much thought.

Or maybe the excitement and new opportunities that coincide with these phases are a ‘goal’ to be achieved or reached.

I must admit that I do like to look at things from different perspectives:

How can I reframe a thought or idea?

Why do we continue do the same things when it’s considered the ‘norm’ but actually doesn’t work for us?

I’d really like to know if anyone else thinks in a similar way - please put a thumbs up if you do (as my husband, and probably quite a few people who know me think my thought processes are a bit ‘weird’)

Anyway, today I’ve been thinking about this approaching phase and one which many of my clients are experiencing in many similar and different ways - the PeriMenopause.

If you are in this new phase of life, please remember that you can do all of the below ⬇️

Because if you can’t do it now when your body is asking or screaming for support, when can you?

🌀 Are you aware that reflexology can help support your body in numerous ways?

🌀 Reflexology can help to ‘lift your mood’ by stimulating the 'feel good' hormones - oxytocin and endorphines. These hormones help us to feel safe, secure, relaxed and calm.

🌀 Symptoms of low oxytocin can appear as increased anxiety, irritability, depression, sleep problems and even muscle aches or weight gain, impacting on overall well-being due to its role in stress regulation.

🌀 Endorphins function as the body's natural painkillers and mood elevators, reducing pain perception and stress while creating feelings of pleasure and well-being.

🌀 Released by the brain's pituitary gland and hypothalamus, they help manage symptoms of depression and anxiety.

🌀 Living in this ‘fast paced world’ of ours, we expect to have instant results. But if we are being honest, we know that we are actually kidding ourselves if we think a couple of treatments will heal us.

🌀 As with everything in life, to see and feel long term benefits require regular treatments as well as looking at lifestyle - quality of sleep, nutrition, moving your body, hydration, becoming aware of what makes you feel good and what doesn’t.

🌀 Making small tweaks and creating time for ourselves on a regular basis really does have a positive effect on our wellbeing.

🌀 As we approach the closing of one year and step tentatively in to the next, remember to show yourself the same care, love and attention that you give to others.

🌀 And as luck would have it, Reflexology is a very good place to start! 👣👣👣

📆 January appointments are available and as always, happy to discuss your requirements 💫

❄️ Wrth i Heuldro'r Gaeaf gyrraedd, cofleidiwn y noson hiraf a dychweliad y golau.

Mae’r Alban Arthan yn ein hatgoffa o'n cryfder mewnol, ein gwytnwch, a'r addewid o ddechreuadau newydd.

✨ Bydded i'n hysbryd ddisgleirio ynghanol y tywyllwch.

❄️ As the Winter Solstice arrives, we embrace the longest night and the return of the light.

Let this celestial event remind us of our inner strength, resilience, and the promise of new beginnings.

✨ May our spirits shine bright amidst the darkness.

🌀 Today’s treatments have also benefitted from the winter solstice; it is widely regarded in holistic and ancient traditions as a highly powerful and opportune time for inner work, reflection, and setting intentions.

🌀 Many believe that aligning with the natural cycles of nature during this time enhances the effectiveness of self-care and healing practices.
