Today marks the meteorological start of Autumn! As we transition from the lazier days of summer back to our busier routines it's important to make time for self-care and to remember that self-care is not selfish.

It’s the foundation that helps us show up with more energy, kindness and resilience for the people and causes we care about.

Here is the Action for Happiness Self-Care September calendar to help you care for yourself so you can take care of others. Please pass it on.

Thankyou August , Hello September

World Reflexology Week 2025 ✨️👣✨️

Incorporated with Reiki and Aromatherapy will make your therapy out of this world 🙌🏻 😇 🙌🏻

I thought I would celebrate by sharing some lessor known facts of this wonderful treatment.

👣 Reflexology is an ancient practice, which has been around since 2330 BC.
👣 Modern-day reflexology was first used by an ENT doctor called William Fitzgerald and went by the name Zone therapy. It was actually used as a form of early anaesthetic for very minor surgeries.
👣 In Denmark and Sweden, reflexology is the most popular form of holistic therapy
👣 Reflexology can be performed on our feet, hands, face and ears.
👣 Although Reflexologists are not allowed to diagnose, issues can potentially be detected from your feet.
👣 Miniature Maps of the Body – feet are detailed maps and depict various organs and body systems.
👣 Reflexologists can incorporate, ‘foot reading’ where the shape, size and characteristics of a person’s feet to gain insight into their personality traits and emotional state. Foot reading is not scientifically validated. I do not use it within my reflexology practice.
👣 Clients have reported seeing colour and feeling sensations in their bodies as their feet are worked upon. Some can feel energised after a treatment or indeed fall asleep during one. Everyone experiences it differently.
👣 Reflexology Paths – in some Asian countries you can find reflexology paths, which are paved walkways with a textured surface. This stimulates the feet as you walk and are designed as a a ‘pick me up’.
👣 Animal Reflexology – The idea is that animals gain the same benefits as humans, although this is still a subject of debate by vets. I will be training in canine cranial therapy 🙌🏻 🐾 

Reflexology is a rich and complex practice with deep historical roots and many benefits. While it’s often associated with simple foot massage, it’s much more than that. Reflexology’s ability to work throughout the body, and its potential to help with so many health issues, makes it a powerful tool for promoting overall wellbeing.

Whether you’re looking to relieve stress, manage pain, or support your body’s natural healing processes, reflexology offers a personalised and holistic approach to health.

Every morning I always wake up my lymph system at the main 6 points
🤗❤️🤗



🌿 Morning Stretches to Wake Up Your Lymph & Energy

Mornings set the tone for your entire day. A few gentle stretches not only loosen stiff muscles but also boost lymphatic circulation, reduce puffiness, and calm the nervous system. Here’s how to flow into your day:

1. 🌞 Neck Rolls

👉 Slowly roll your head side to side, forward and back.
✨ This stimulates the cervical lymph nodes, helping drain fluid from the face, scalp, and sinuses.

2. 🤲 Shoulder Circles

👉 Circle your shoulders up, back, and down 10 times.
✨ Opens the thoracic duct area (the main lymph “highway”) and eases upper-body congestion.

3. 🌬️ Deep Breathing with Arm Stretch

👉 Raise arms overhead, inhale deeply, then exhale while lowering arms. Repeat 5–10 times.
✨ Diaphragmatic breathing pumps lymph through the thoracic cavity, oxygenates tissues, and energizes the body.

4. 🦵 Knee-to-Chest Hug

👉 While standing or lying down, gently pull one knee to your chest, then switch.
✨ Stimulates abdominal lymph nodes and relieves lower-body heaviness.

5. 💧 Gentle Calf Pumps

👉 Rise onto your toes, then slowly lower your heels back down. Repeat 10–15 times.
✨ Activates the calf muscle pump, supporting venous and lymph return from the legs.

🌿 Why This Matters

Your lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump like your heart — it relies on movement, breathing, and muscle contraction. Just 5 minutes of stretching in the morning can:
• Reduce swelling and puffiness
• Improve energy and mental clarity
• Support natural detox and immunity
• Set a calm, positive rhythm for the day

✨ Start tomorrow with these stretches — your body will thank you, and your lymph will flow with ease!

What is Reflexology? 👣 🙌🏻
Can Reflexology help me?

Reflexology is a wonderfully relaxing treatment which is suitable for all ages, adults to children and may bring relief to a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.

All of us can benefit from some time taken for ourselves, to relax and reduce the stresses due to the busy lifestyles we lead.

Reflexology can also be particularly helpful in dealing with many of those long term and recurring conditions that many of us think we just have to accept as normal.

What conditions can Reflexology help?

These are just a few of the more common conditions that have been successfully helped through reflexology and you can see from the list below, which is by no means complete, the varied areas in which reflexology may be able to help.

* Irritable Bowel Syndrome
* Asthma
* Headaches, Migraine
* Calming effect on stress
* Hay fever / sinusitis
* Allergies
* PMT/PMS, Menstrual Problems
* Hormonal Imbalances
* High Blood Pressure
* Insomnia
* Back Problems, Sciatic Pain
* Pre and Post Operative Care

How many treatments will I need?

A course of four or five treatments can often have an amazing result. Many people then choose to have top-up treatments once every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain improvement. Each client is given a suggested treatment plan after the initial consultation

🙌 Self-Massage for Lymphatic Drainage – Do’s & Don’ts

By Bianca Botha, CLT | MLDT | RLD

Self-massage for lymphatic drainage can be a powerful way to support your body between professional treatments. But because the lymphatic system is so delicate, it’s important to know what to do — and what not to do.

✅ DO: Best Practices

✨ Be Gentle
• Use very light pressure (like stroking a cat). Lymph vessels sit just under the skin — pressing too hard actually closes them.

✨ Start at the Neck & Chest
• Always begin by clearing the “exit points” (supraclavicular area at the collarbones, then the sides of the neck). This creates space for fluid from further down.

✨ Work Proximal to Distal
• Open central nodes first (neck, armpits, groin) before moving fluid from arms, legs, or face.

✨ Follow the Direction of Flow
• Always stroke toward the nearest lymph node region (e.g., legs toward groin, arms toward armpits).

✨ Use Rhythm & Repetition
• Gentle, slow, repeated movements are more effective than random rubbing.

✨ Support with Breathwork
• Deep belly breathing stimulates the thoracic duct — your body’s largest lymphatic highway.

❌ DON’T: Common Mistakes

🚫 Don’t Press Hard
• Lymph vessels collapse under pressure. Think “gentle stretch of the skin,” not deep tissue massage.

🚫 Don’t Skip the Exits
• If you only massage your swollen ankles without first clearing the groin/abdominal nodes, fluid has nowhere to go.

🚫 Don’t Work When Very Ill or Infected
• Avoid self-massage if you have a fever, acute infection, or unexplained swelling — always check with your doctor first.

🚫 Don’t Rush
• Quick, aggressive movements stimulate blood circulation, not lymph drainage. Slow is key.

🚫 Don’t Forget Hydration
• Lymph needs fluid to move. Without hydration, massage is less effective.

🌸 Final Tip

Self-massage is best for maintenance and light support. For chronic swelling, lymphedema, or post-surgical care, always seek help from a certified lymphatic therapist for safety and deeper results.
