✨If your hormones feel “off,” your body is probably under more stress than you realise✨

Here are 5 signs your nervous system may be running on empty:

🌿Waking between 2–4am … your body can’t settle into deep sleep
🌿Wired but exhausted … always “on” yet drained
🌿Pre-period anxiety or irritability … stress amplifies hormonal imbalance
🌿Digestive flare-ups … your gut is reacting to tension
🌿Snapping at loved ones … emotional regulation is overloaded

Chronic stress hijacks hormones, disrupts cycles, and worsens menopause symptoms.

No supplement, no diet tweak, no quick fix can override a stressed system.

Holistic care, like Reiki, reflexology, self-care, proper nutrition, and mindful rest helps your body shift from fight-or-flight, to rest-and-repair. Giving your hormones and emotions space to rebalance.

💡 Do you recognise yourself in any of these signs?

The Foundations of a Healthy Cell (and a Healthy Life) 🌿

Let me introduce you to yourself ( your cell). You are made up of trillions of these little blighters and these 5 pillars below are the foundation of health.

Every symptom, every hormone shift, every mood change begins at cellular level.Support the cell… and you support the whole body.

Here are the pillars that allow your cells to truly thrive:

✨ 1. EnergyCells must produce energy to repair, communicate, detoxify and regenerate. When cellular energy is low, the body whispers first—fatigue, brain fog, poor recovery. Ignore it long enough and it starts to shout.

💧 2. HydrationWater allows nutrients in and waste out. It carries electrical signals and keeps the internal environment fluid and responsive. Without proper hydration, even the best nutrition cannot reach the cell effectively.

🌿 3. CleansingCells create waste every single day. If the liver, lymph, gut and kidneys are overloaded, that waste lingers.And often, the skin is the first place we see the struggle—breakouts, dullness, rashes, congestion. The skin is not the problem; it is frequently the messenger. When internal detox pathways are supported, the skin often reflects that shift.

🥗 4. NutritionCells do not eat meals—they absorb nutrients. Minerals, amino acids, vitamins and phytonutrients are the raw materials for hormones, enzymes and repair. No raw materials, no resilience. Pillar 1,2,and 3 and 5 must be in place for optimum nutrition

🥑 5. Good FatsEvery single cell in your body has a membrane. That membrane is largely made from fats.
For eg Your digestive system? One long tube lined with membranes—trillions of cells forming a protective, communicative barrier.Your brain? Rich in fats.Your hormones? Built from fats.

When we fear fats or choose damaged ones, cell membranes become rigid and inflamed. When we choose nourishing fats, cells stay flexible, receptive and able to communicate clearly.

And here is something we often overlook:

A cell is not just physical.It responds to the emotional environment.It responds to stress.It responds to thought patterns.

Physical stress affects chemistry.Emotional stress affects hormones.Spiritual disconnection affects nervous system tone.

One layer always influences the next.

When we support energy, hydration, cleansing, nutrition and healthy fats—while also tending to emotional and spiritual wellbeing—we are not just improving health metrics.

We are creating an internal environment where every cell has what it needs to do its work.

And when the cell thrives, we thrive!

WOMENS HORMONES & REIKI

Stress blocks progesterone.

High cortisol diverts resources away from reproductive hormones.
Ovulation becomes inconsistent.
PMS worsens.
Perimenopause feels amplified.

Reiki doesn’t “fix” hormones.

It supports the internal environment where balance becomes possible.

When the nervous system settles, the endocrine system follows.

Hormone health starts with safety.

Are you navigating cycle changes, fertility, or perimenopause right now?

I use both Reiki and Reflexology with some of my clients, according to preference. What is it you need ? Have you tried both?

Big love ❤️

Reflexology doesn’t come with official warning labels. But if it did, they might look a little like this.

During a reflexology session, gentle pressure is applied to specific reflex points on the feet that correspond with different systems of the body. The aim is to support deep relaxation and help the nervous system shift out of prolonged stress mode.

That sudden silence, spontaneous sighing or even falling asleep are common responses. They’re signs of the parasympathetic nervous system becoming more active - often described as the body’s rest and repair state. As this happens, breathing slows, muscles soften and mental tension can ease.

Many people notice increased thirst or tiredness after a session, which is why hydration and rest are encouraged. Emotional responses can also occur. Stress isn’t just held in the mind. It’s also carried in the body, and when physical tension releases, emotions may soften too.

Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive complementary therapy that supports relaxation, balance and overall wellbeing. Sometimes the most noticeable effect is simply realising how tense you’ve been, and remembering what calm actually feels like.

💜 The Irish Reflexologists’ Institute (IRI) is the professional body for reflexology in Ireland, supporting reflexologists through education, professional standards, continued learning, and a connected practitioner community. 💜

Every time you like, comment on, or share one of my posts, you’re doing far more than supporting a local business.

You’re helping another woman discover that she doesn’t have to struggle alone with her hormones, her stress levels, her fertility journey, or the shifts of menopause. You’re opening a door to natural, gentle support that many women don’t even realise is available to them.

If you scroll back through my page, you’ll find more than posts … you’ll find a growing library of practical, evidence-informed wellness guidance. Think of it as your own digital wellbeing journal. Hormone-balancing insights. Simple self-care tools. Education you can revisit when you need clarity, reassurance, or direction.

And here’s the honest truth: you never know who is quietly reading.

The friend battling exhaustion.
The sister navigating fertility treatment.
The colleague overwhelmed by perimenopause.
The new mum who hasn’t slept in weeks.

When you share something that resonates with you, you might be placing the right support in front of the right woman at exactly the right time.

Whether it’s Reflexology for stress and hormone balance, Reiki for deep nervous system restoration, or holistic care through fertility, pregnancy, and menopause … awareness matters.

So if a post speaks to you, don’t scroll past it. Engage with it. Share it. Tag someone who might benefit.

It costs nothing … but it could mean everything to someone who needs it.

Your support allows this work to reach the women it’s meant for, and that’s how we create more balance, more calm, and more empowered health … together

Big love ❤️

Reiki isn’t what most people think it is.

It’s not a religion.
It’s not hypnotic mind control.
It’s not about “believing” in anything.

It is nervous system regulation.

It is supporting your body’s natural healing response.

It is a system of natural healing

It is helping shift you out of fight-or-flight and into rest-and-repair, the state where hormones rebalance, digestion improves, and sleep deepens.

When your body feels safe, it functions better.

Reiki simply helps create that safety.

Have you ever tried Reiki, or are you still unsure what it involves?

Reiki & 9/11

Reiki is far greater than most people realise. It takes a lot of stick from those that don’t or choose not to understand it.

It’s not something we simply perform.
It’s something we embody.

Over time, it becomes less about “giving a treatment” and more about holding a regulated, grounded presence that others can settle into.

Let me share an example of its depth…

After 9/11, alongside the emergency response, another form of support quietly emerged.

Volunteer Reiki practitioners established calm spaces near the World Trade Centre site for firefighters, police officers, and recovery workers.

These were not medical units.
They were nervous system recovery spaces.

First responders were operating in acute and prolonged sympathetic activation, with high cortisol, adrenaline surges, sleep deprivation, and cumulative trauma exposure.

Short Reiki sessions were offered as complementary support.

Reported feedback included:
🤍Rapid physical relaxation
🤍Reduced anxiety and agitation
🤍Improved ability to rest between shifts
🤍Emotional release without the need for verbal processing
🤍Feeling grounded and “reset” before returning to duty

From a trauma-informed perspective, this matters

When the body is locked in fight-or-flight, gentle, regulated presence can support parasympathetic activation. Safe touch (or hands-near work) may help reduce hyperarousal and create a window of physiological regulation.

There were no claims of curing trauma.
No replacement for medical or psychological care.

But in the midst of devastation, structured energetic support offered responders something very critical: a moment of safety.

9/11 became one of the earliest large-scale examples of complementary therapies being integrated into disaster settings.

Regulation is not a luxury.
It is foundational.

Sometimes the most powerful intervention is simply helping the nervous system remember how to soften

Big love ❤️

Happy Valentine’s Day …. while roses are lovely, real love runs deeper than a bouquet. 🌹

Love is not just romance. It’s nourishment. It’s boundaries. It’s rest. It’s choosing yourself.

For women especially, love and wellbeing are inseparable. When we are constantly giving …. to partners, children, parents, work, our nervous system can quietly shift into survival mode. And over time, that shows up in the body:

• Hormonal imbalances• Painful or irregular cycles• Fertility struggles• Burnout and anxiety• Perimenopausal symptoms that feel overwhelming

Your body does not separate emotions from physiology. Chronic stress and self-neglect influence cortisol, which affects progesterone, which influences cycles, mood, sleep, and even how we experience menopause. Self-abandonment has a biological cost, and the body keeps the score.

So today, I invite you to widen your definition of love.

Love is:✨ Eating in a way that supports your hormones✨ Booking the reflexology session✨ Saying no without guilt✨ Asking for help✨ Going to bed earlier✨ Letting your body exhale

The heart and the womb are energetically and physiologically connected. When we feel safe, supported, and valued, our bodies soften. Ovulation improves. Cycles regulate. Sleep deepens. Inflammation reduces. Healing becomes possible.

This Valentine’s Day, don’t ask, “Who loves me?” Ask, “How am I loving myself?”

Because the most important relationship you will ever have is the one with your own body, and she has been listening to you all along.

Big love ❤️

🌿I’ve been revisiting my tuning forks over recent months, tools I trained with several years ago.
I’ve been reminded just how effective they are.

🌿 I gifted myself some new, colourful forks to work alongside my originals, and I’ve loved bringing them back into both my own practice and client sessions.

🌿Tuning forks use gentle vibration to support relaxation, regulation, and overall wellbeing, working alongside the body.

🌿Physically, vibration is said to encourage circulation, oxygen delivery, and has the potential to settle the nervous system … helping the body relax and function more efficiently.

🌿Energetically, it supports the release of stagnation linked with stress, tension, or emotional overload. When vibration brings movement, the body can let go.

🌿Used on or near acupressure points, the effects often feel deeper—particularly when combined with reflexology or energy work.

Clients commonly report:
• A sense of calm and grounding
• Reduced tension
• Improved clarity and balance

🌿Gentle. Non-invasive. Supportive.

🌿Sometimes the smallest vibrations create the biggest shifts.

Big love ❤️

Sunday Funday ✨

When your therapist believes in serious healing… but doesn’t take herself too seriously….

A little proof that behind the calm hands and gentle therapies is a real human who genuinely loves supporting women at every stage of their health journey …

Whether it’s imbalanced hormones, fertility, menopause, or anything in between— I work naturally, holistically, and with care.

Healing with Heart, expertise, and a belief that balance isn’t a luxury … it’s an essential

Leo Full Moon Reflection – 1st February 🌕 What does health mean for you?

The Full Moon is a natural point of reflection, a moment to pause and take stock. With this Full Moon in Leo, the focus shifts to the heart, vitality, and what it means to truly feel alive in your body.

Health isn’t only about the absence of symptoms.
It’s about how connected you feel to yourself day to day.
How much energy you have.
How at home you feel in your body.
And whether life feels like something you’re participating in … rather than just getting through.

For some, feeling healthy means:
• Weight loss or feeling comfortable, confident, and present in your body
• Balanced hormones that support energy, mood, and clarity
• Less pain and fewer flare-ups, allowing more freedom of movement
• Emotional wellbeing — feeling lighter, calmer, more joyful
• Ease of life — less effort just to cope, more capacity to live
• A sense of vitality — feeling awake, engaged, and yourself again

Leo energy reminds us that health is closely tied to that feeling of being alive — to joy, self-expression, and having the energy to live fully, not cautiously.

So I’d love to hear from you:

🌿WHAT DOES HEALTH MEAN FOR YOU ?

One word, one sentence, or simply choosing from the list above is more than enough.

Your reflections help shape the way I support women’s health … because real wellbeing begins in the body, and with honest self-awareness.

Big love ❤️

Taking time out to rest isn’t always easy … but it’s often necessary.

As some of you know, I’ve had a lot going on lately (let’s be honest, when do I not?). Over the past three or four days, I’ve allowed myself to take a wee step back, and I’ve genuinely enjoyed it.

That space has been used well. I’ve been quietly sewing seeds for the year ahead, reflecting on what’s next for me, where I want to go, and how I want to work. Ideas are forming, plans are taking shape, and there are things on the horizon that I’m excited about.

What this does mean, for now, is that I won’t be taking on any NEW clients.

If you are interested in working with me, please do get in touch for a chat about what you’re hoping to gain and whether you feel I’m the right fit for you. If so I’ll be very happy to add you to my waitlist.

Rest isn’t stopping, it’s strategic …
Caring for others well means also caring for myself—so that when I do show up, I can do so fully and with integrity.

Big love ❤️
