Shona Reid Reflexology

I love it when clients find reflexology for the first time and realise this 💖👣

Reflexology is much more than some people think it is. It’s calmer shoulders, deeper breaths, and your nervous system going, “Ahhhhhh, finally.” 💆🙌💜

Just waiting for my next client..perfect way to end your work day with some relaxing reflexology 🥰

02/11/2025

This morning the other half disappeared off early to tinker with cars and the teenagers were still asleep, so I took the opportunity to go for a little walk in Jesmond Dene. So lucky to have this on our doorstep in the middle of the city🍂

Perfect start to a Sunday – I hope you get the chance to get outside in the sunshine for a nature boost today.

Such a beautiful sunny start to November up in Newcastle.

November always seems to get filled up so quickly with plans and ‘to do’ lists as we head towards the end of the year. Often our busy lives force us to go against the season’s natural rhythm as we push ourselves to keep going when we should be slowing down, retreating and resting.

This month try not to let everything, and everyone else, take priority over your own health and wellbeing. Making small changes that don’t take long or cost a thing can have a big impact.

You could create a cosy corner, a chair, a throw, a lamp or candle, makes a little retreat in your home where you can read, craft, snooze or just simply be. Perhaps try a guided meditation, even 5 minutes can help reset your nervous system and lower stress levels. Or switch in a nurturing habit to begin or end your day - a few minutes simple stretching, a cup of herbal tea, screen free time or taking more time to give your face a little massage as part of your skincare routine.

If you are looking for a longer period of selfcare then Reflexology is another great way to help your body and mind relax and rebalance. Treatments can be carried out on the feet, face or, for the ultimate in relaxation, a combination of the two in my 75minute Drift Away treatment. If you would like more information, to book in or to purchase a gift voucher to treat someone special, then please just get in touch.

Try to schedule in some you time, to slow down and nurture yourself this November.

Hope you have a lovely weekend. Love Shona x 💖👣

🎃Happy Halloween🎃

Just wanted to say a big “Thank You” to all my lovely clients who are being so patient in accommodating my temporary business hours while the building work is on-going. As ever with these things we are a little (a lot🫣) behind schedule, but it is getting there!

In the meantime, I will continue to provide treatments
👣 mobile, locally between 9.30am & 2pm Monday - Thursday, and
👣 in the treatment room from 4pm on Mondays, Wednesdays & Thursdays.

If this doesn’t work for you let me know and I will try to help.

If you are happy taking your chances with noise and would like to book in during the daytime (I have some headphones) let me know – although not recommended next week as it will be “full on” apparently😱

Thanks again and I hope that you have a lovely weekend with lots of treats!
Love Shona x 🐈‍⬛👻👣

It is so good that the conversation around peri/menopause is becoming more open and honest. Sharing these insightful, healing and hopeful words of wisdom from the lovely Donna Ashworth for anyone struggling at the moment💖

I have this theory that the menopause is there to unpick us…

Not the real ‘us’ but the versions created by society and its superwoman expectations.

The versions created by the impact of decades of fertility hormones, childbirth, mothering, or the lack of all that.

A heart broken and rebuilt a million times over and a body completely exhausted by constantly reinventing itself to fit the mould of that particular chapter.

I think the menopause strips us bare.

Not to humiliate but to eventually FREE us.

And aren’t we so very lucky now that we have such control over HOW we rebuild.

These hormones that plague us so become ours to curate and administer.

And the biggest weapon of all is ours to brandish - SHARING.

No shame, fear or symptom can thrive in the light of our shared wisdom and experience.

The power is ours, what a thing.

And I’m not for a minute daring to say that any of this undoing is easy - but show me a phase of your life ruled by hormones that was easy, my love. We know what it is to battle, you and me.

I have this theory that the menopause is there to unpick the versions of ourselves we are far too brilliant and wise for now.

And we get to rebuild in the shape of something far more fitting…

the woman we were meant to be, all along.

Donna

There are so many others but this following of the above will bring many more your way. Isn’t that just the joy of an algorithm.

Hope you had a lovely weekend. It has all been a bit full on here – doing the final clearing out the loft and garage (almost done!) as we have building work starting today.

It wont affect my treatment room but the noise might so, as promised, here are my revised hours for the next few weeks/months.

• Mondays, Wednesday & Thursday 4pm, 6pm or 6.30pm

If these don’t work for you I am also offering a limited number of local, mobile visits on Monday – Thursday between the hours of 9.30am and 2pm and some Saturday morning appointments every few weeks too.

Just get in touch if you would like to book in or if you would like any further information. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

I hope that your September has got off to a good start, and that last week went smoothly for all of those still in the world of ‘back to school’ days💖. Also good luck and well done to all those taking part in the Great North Run today!

I love September, as a client mentioned this week, it marks the start of the ‘ber’ months and the ‘ber’ months are definitely my favourite time of year. September marks the beginning of the shift in Seasons. A time for a change of pace after a busy Summer into a more gentle, transitional space where, like nature, we can gently slow down a little and begin to let things go.

If you have been for a treatment recently I will probably have mentioned it, but there are changes happening here this month too. We have some building work starting and although it wont be directly affecting my treatment room, no doubt the noise will! I will be posting next week about some revisions to my working hours over the next few months so I can continue to support you and your wellbeing in a serene space throughout the 'ber' months .

Look forward to seeing you soon.

Sorry, I have been a bit quiet on here this week, it has been a busy one.

I have had fun taking my lovely Tropic products out to an office event and enjoyed catching up with lots of lovely clients in the treatment room too. Quite a few had booked 90 minute sessions for the ultimate time out to rebalance and relax. I know, all too well, that feeling of not wanting your reflexology session to end after just 60 minutes, imagine if it didn’t – Bliss! If you have made the effort to get here, why not make the most of it and book in for a longer treatment?

I am off again next week for another family week, so responses to any queries may take a little longer.

Hope you have a lovely weekend and see you soon.

Taking care of yourself and your wellbeing should be a priority anytime, but it doesn't hurt to have a reminder.

It doesn't have to be mean dramatic actions, or a huge time or financial commitment. Just consistent, little actions and choices that put your wellbeing first. It all adds up to a happier, healthier you.
