So true! I love it when we reach the end of a treatment and my client can't believe that they actually fell asleep.

Reflexology helps your mind and your body remember what truly restorative relaxation really feels like 💖👣

Ever lie down for a reflexology session with a busy mind… and wake up wondering where you are and how long you’ve been there? 😅

The power of deep relaxation. 😌

💜World Sleep Day💜

Sleep is so important to health.

We all work on slightly different schedules however on average adults should be aiming for between 7-9 hours of quality sleep. Children need longer to promote growth and development.

Sleep is a necessity but a delight too. We should look forward to it. Create an evening ritual which allows your body and mind to slow down, a warm bath or shower, some gentle stretches or breathwork, reading, a cup of herbal tea, or incorporate natural sleep aids such as lavender essential oils or magnesium.

Poor sleep is one of the most common concerns mentioned by clients in their initial consultation with me, and while reflexology can help, we often discuss other ways they can improve their sleep quality.

If you are struggling, there are some tips below which could help get your sleep get back on track. Just making a few small changes consistently can make a big difference.

Reflexology can help improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and supporting physiological processes that regulate sleep. If you are interested in trying it, or finding out how reflexology may help support your wellbeing, please get in touch.

Hope you have a restful weekend.

💜Help your body prepare by getting sunlight, fresh air, and movement during the day

💜Keep any naps short and early in the afternoon if possible

💜Make your bedroom calm (declutter), quiet, cool (ideally around 18°C) dark, and if possible avoid other activities to creep into your sleep space such as work, scrolling, watching TV/streaming, eating etc.

💜 Avoid blue light devices (LED screens / smartphones) at least 1-2 hrs before bed as they prevent the release of the hormone melatonin which helps us get to sleep (cover your alarm clock display too)

💜Create a regular routine by going to bed and getting up at the same time daily where possible

💜Avoid caffeine intake 4-6 hours before bedtime

💜Finally, if you find it hard to switch off, or if you do wake in the night, try not to clock watch and let your mind wander into worries, or to do lists. Instead, switch your focus to try and keep you mind in a more relaxed positive state perhaps by using a simple breathing exercise or by concentrating things that you are grateful for, no matter how small💜

Love this! The simple daily act of moisturising your skin could also be helping your brain! The importance of small, regular acts of self care often have far more benefit than we know💖

✨From Apprentice to Dragon!✨🐉

Our very own Susie Ma, Founder and CEO of Tropic Skincare will be a guest Dragon on Dragons Den tomorrow😍

Having founded Tropic at just 15, she narrowly missed winning The Apprentice in 2011, however recognising her potential and drive, Lord Sugar invested anyway!

Now, 21 years after founding Tropic at her kitchen table, Susie is full owner of the multi-award winning beauty brand and is a great inspiration to the tens of thousands Tropic Ambassadors (including me😊) that share her beautiful, ethical and effective products.

So excited that Tropic’s message will be shared with a wider audience and elevated to a whole new level💚

Love this one! There can be a lot of mystery and sadly, misinformation about Reflexology. If you are interested in finding out what it is all about for yourself just get in touch.
Love Shona x 💖👣

Reflexology gets misunderstood a lot.
It’s not fortune telling, foot wrestling, or random poking. It’s a structured, professional therapy delivered by trained practitioners.

Calm, considered, and a lot more intentional than people think 😉

Well, the decorations may be coming down but we still have a beautiful winter wonderland to enjoy outside.

I am really looking forward to welcoming clients back into the treatment room again this week. I still have availability in January so if you are interested in booking in some time to reset after the festive period, and to help ease yourself back into the swing of things this month, just get in touch.

Love Shona x 💖👣

Welcome January and 2026

Like many friends, family and clients I was ready to say farewell to 2025 and to welcome in the New Year.

In my past, New Year would arrive in a whirlwind of social events, commitments, resolutions and general busyness! Not now. It could just be an age thing, (dare I say age related wisdom😉) or a gradual shift in mindset since becoming a reflexologist and delving deeper into the science of wellbeing, probably a combination. Now, I step very gently indeed into January.

December asks a lot of our physical, mental and emotional reserves. It is unrealistic and often counterproductive to expect a reset as soon as the new year begins. In January we are still wintering, working through the slow, dark part of nature’s cycle. A time to nourish, restore, reflect and review. Building reserves for the next season of activity and growth.

As you move through January be kind to yourself. Consider how you might create space for reflection, restoration and moments of quiet. Create opportunities to dream, plan and prepare. Make gentle, yet genuine, promises to yourself to let go of habits or things that no longer serve you, creating space to focus your attention and energy on those that bring positivity, growth and that truly feed your soul.

Sending warmest wishes to you in the hope that the year ahead is a happy, healthy and kind one for you and your loved ones.

Love Shona x 💖👣

I am taking a break to recharge and enjoy the Festive Season with family and friends. I will be checking messages but may take a little longer to respond and I will be back in the treatment room on 5th January.

Wishing you all a very happy and restful Christmas and I hope that the festive period is full off things that feed your soul. For those that find this time of year hard, be kind to yourself. I hope the time passes gently for you and that it brings more peace and smiles than you anticipate.

Thank You, to all my clients, for choosing me to help support your wellbeing. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to support you this year, through the good times and those more difficult periods in life, and I look forward to seeing you again in 2026.

Love Shona x 💖👣
