|| If you can find a few quiet moments to yourself today (or any point over the next couple of weeks), Please do try this simple self care practice for celebrating and acknowledging the winter solstice.

Try to weave this small ritual into your day to allow you to calm and connect with yourself.

By using the breath in this way we are signalling to our nervous system that we are safe and secure, soothing our body and mind creating a deeply grounding effect.

If you require a little extra calm this is a fabulous way of soothing yourself between reflexology sessions.

Happy Winter Solstice - Remember from today the nights begin drawing out. Sunlight is coming.

|| What if, for once, at Christmas we gave ourselves permission to relax and focus on what really matters?

December is a lot but this is your sign to find a bit of 'comfort and joy' this December by reminding you to make time to step away from the chaos, be gentle with yourself and create some calm.

I hope you find these gentle suggestions helpful and that they support you to cope better during times of festive stress, overwhelm or anxiety.

If you are really feeling the effects of stress, anxiety, overwhelm or hormonal changes/imbalance then reflexology could be the natural therapy you need to support you, I’ve loved helping so many women this year so if you feel it may benefit you too please do get in touch.

|| And just like that, she felt better! And she took on the world with a spring in her step.

It is a sad fact but we rarely feel able to make rest a priority in our busy lives.

In our society there so much pressure to keep going no matter what, but our bodies just aren't made that way!

As a working mum of 2 with lots of other external pressures to juggle I totally appreciate it can often feel impossible and even uncomfortable to make time for rest, and please don’t think I only mean spending an hour flat out on the sofa or taking an afternoon bath (although both of those things are perfectly reasonable and totally lovely) I mean spending time being slower, more mindful with your actions not whizzing around at 100mph, doing things that bring you joy, make you laugh, make you feel good about yourself.

Humans aren't designed to run on high level without having a period of rest and relaxation, especially as we head into the darkest part of the year.

You need a time for renewal. It allows you to relax, rejuvenate and repair your wonderful mind and body.

That's where reflexology can really benefit you. Your treatments will provide you with a restorative space to deeply rest in a way you may not have felt in years.

Rest is soooooooo important make it a guilt free priority for you.

The Reflex Edit - Part V – Except spoiler, this isn’t actually a reflex, it’s an acupressure point!

Something I like to do to enhance my treatments is to utilise my knowledge and training in acupressure. Reflexology has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) & I have both a strong personal and professional interest in TCM, it’s fascinating.

The aim of reflexology from a TCM perspective is to encourage and balance the flow of Qi. Qi is our life energy, and is thought to be essential for the functioning of all the organs and processes in our body.

Qi is said to circulate through 12 meridians and 2 extraordinary vessels. For total health Qi must flow through all the meridians freely and evenly. A blockage in a meridian is thought to lead to disharmony and disease within the body.

On the sole of the foot, lotcated close to the solar plexus, you will find the acupressure point KI 1 (also known as ‘the bubbling spring’ )– The first point on the kidney meridian it is one of the most vital points in acupressure.

The kidneys are important to the health of the entire body, especially the processes of reproduction, development and maturation, hence disharmony in the kidney meridian can be reflected as ‘menstrual’ or ‘fertility problems.

It is an essential point to work in my treatments; When a woman is
· TTC to support fertility.
· suffering from Premenstrual or Menstrual problems.
· experiencing Peri/menopause symptoms such as rage, hot flushes or night sweats.
· suffering from fatigue
· suffering with back pain.
· It’s great to support anxiety as it calms and clears the mind and relieves restlessness, eases fear and overwhelm.
· Experiencing insomnia especially if caused by fear or agitation.
· Suffering from acute problems such a shock or palpitations.

This point brings a surge of fresh, revitalizing, renewing energy to that which is wilting, drained or exhausted, encouraging you to get out of your head and into your body.

Fascinating stuff and just one of the many ways I aim to make your treatments that much more effective.

In a world where our hectic and busy lives and constant daily stress and exhaustion leave us feeling depleted and out of balance Reflexology is truly like balm for the body and mind!.

A space to process, to chat (if needed), to feel nurtured, to honour you and a chance for me, as your chosen reflexologist, to gently nudge your mind and body back into balance, movement by movement, reflex by reflex.

Together we can work on calming and soothing your nervous system, regulating your sleep rhythms, easing aches and pains, reducing your stress and anxiety levels and supporting any hormonal symptoms whether you are on your fertility journey, are pregnant, have menstrual issues or are perimenopausal.

Reflexology might just be the gentle pick me up you were looking for.

|| I love this picture - it really helps to give an insight into what I see and feel when treating you during your reflexology session .

During one single reflexology treatment I expertly massage the feet, reflex by reflex, applying a soothing pressure to each and every one of these areas , resulting in a one-way journey to calming your nervous system.

All of these reflexes are thought to link to all different parts of your body like little telephone wires sending messages and communicating to your whole being, checking in, gently nudging you back into balance. You may feel tingling, warmth or sensation throughout the body while I'm working on various areas helping to facilitate healing, release tension, and support overall health in the most relaxing of ways.

|| Sunday evening reminder lovely ones; Do more of what you ‘love’ this coming week.

My heartfelt advice to you all would be to listen to your body, take time to nourish it; honour your needs and do the things that make you feel most like yourself.

we are hard wired to look after everyone and everything else first but trust me it leads to feelings of depletion, emotional exhaustion and burnout.

This is your invitation to give a little less to the outside world and a little more to your wonderful self. Happy Autumn Equinox.

|| Sharing some pockets of happiness from my gorgeous break to Cornwall last week (my happy place).

It was glorious switching my phone on to silent, taking time away from social media, enjoying sandy toes, salty lips and a huge amount of Cornish ice cream and all 4 of us benefitted from a break in routine for a short while.

Thank you for all of your messages whilst l've been away. I think l've got back to all of them now but if you are still waiting for me to get back to you please do drop me a DM.

On the subject of messages as we've made it to the end of the school year now and the summer holiday juggle is about to begin I might not be quite as quick to respond to messages over the next few weeks, these two glorious girls (along with longer clinic days) are the reason why.

Please know I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to get in touch and the delay in response is not an indication of how important your message is to me.

I'm very grateful to you for bearing with me over the summer hols and remember the brilliant reception team at the urban sanctuary are always on hand to help too.

So however you're juggling the next six weeks, I hope they go nice and smoothly, and they include lots of simple joys with the odd little treat thrown in and I above all hope you find time for you amongst the chaos
- it's all about balance after all.

Clare 🤍✨
