What a wonderful day celebrating World Reflexology Week at Jolly Josh!
I had the privilege of offering taster sessions to staff, parents and carers of children with complex medical needs and physical disabilities. Little Esme was the star of the show; she wanted to try it too and she loved it! It was amazing to see how even a short session can bring calm, relief, and a moment of self care. Reflexology is such a beautiful way to support mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
A huge thank you to the staff at Jolly Josh for welcoming me and making today possible; it was such a pleasure to share this experience with you all!

Raffle tickets: £1 each or £5 for a whole strip
All proceeds go to charity

A little seasonal treat could be yours… 😊

Wednesday Wellbeing Check-In

It’s Wednesday already! How’s your week really going?
Sometimes we get so caught up in getting things done that we forget to check in with ourselves. So here are a few gentle questions worth asking today:

Am I speaking to myself with the same kindness I’d offer a friend?
Am I giving myself the rest my body truly needs, not just the minimum I can get by on?
Have I moved today in a way that feels good for me?
Have I paused long enough to take a slow, grounding breath?
Am I spending time with people who lift me up?

Midweek is the perfect moment for a reset — a chance to notice, adjust, and care for yourself.

This week, a client came in for her usual reflexology session, but she was in considerable pain, stressed and showing signs of nervous system fatigue. After her treatment, we added six tiny ear seeds to help extend the benefits and keep her support going for the days ahead.
These were placed on specific points on one ear:
• To calm her system
• Ease pain directly
• Support relaxation in muscles that are working harder due to pain

It’s like having reflexology or acupuncture on your ear 24/7 for 5 days. No needles, just steady, gentle support.
Each seed is placed with intention. It’s not a case of “I’ve a sore shoulder, stick a seed there.” We consider root causes, referral pain, and which areas need calming, balancing or strengthening.

It’s auricular therapy, which focuses solely on the ears as they are rich in nerve endings and close to the brain. Using principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine, precise points linked to pain, organs, and emotional balance are stimulated. These are the same points used in acupuncture, but instead of needles, tiny seeds held in place by small plasters provide gentle, continuous stimulation.

Clients are always surprised how they start to feel better in the days that follow.

Curious how this works or if it might help you too? Feel free to message me.

Some days, you just need a place to put it all — the stress, the overwhelm, the overthinking.
That’s where the F It Bucket comes in.
It started as a joke in a session... but now it lives in my therapy room as a real (bright yellow!) reminder that it’s okay to let things go.
You don’t have to carry everything.
You don’t have to have it all together.

Sometimes you just have to chuck it in the bucket, let it go, and move on.
What would you put in yours?

I’ve got some exciting news to share…
the official announcement is out and I’ve won Best Health & Wellbeing Facility in the Greater Manchester Business Awards.
I’m so proud to have received this and just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you who’ve supported me, whether you’ve come for sessions, recommended me, or just cheered me on from the sidelines.
It means a lot, and I’m really happy to share it with you 💛

Most people think reflexology is just a relaxing treat.
But for many of my clients, it’s how they manage grief, chronic pain, trauma, anxiety, or the challenges of a cancer journey.
It also supports them with everyday stresses, such as family responsibilities, work pressures, and emotional overwhelm, all the things that quietly build up over time.

With a background in various NHS roles, I understand how complex health and wellbeing can be, which means when you come to a session, I see you and not just your symptoms. Together, we create each treatment around what you truly need on the day.

Reflexology doesn’t replace medical care. It supports it.
It’s not just a treat — it’s a treatment.

I had a lovely session this morning with a client using reflexology, some gentle manual lymphatic drainage, some Emmett Technique moves , and ear seeds, which were all supporting the nervous system and helping the body to gently unwind.
She wears a wellness ring that tracks heart rate and stress levels. After the session, she sent me a screenshot. Just before, her heart rate was climbing... and from the session onwards, there was a strong drop, showing her stress levels reducing and her system calming down.
It’s always so powerful to feel the shifts in session but when you see them backed up by real-time data? That’s pretty special. 🧡
Grateful every day for this work and the people I get to support.

Some of my clients have been using these acupressure bands with some wonderful results lately. Most people think they’re just for seasickness, but they can actually help with so much more; like anxiety, exam stress, fear of flying, morning sickness, and even kids’ worries about the dark or starting school.

One child I worked with was scared of the dark. I told him about these “magic bracelets” that he could put on to feel safe at night. After a few days, he didn’t feel the need to wear them anymore, but they stayed on his bedside table in case.

Another client recently wore the bands as she was going on holiday and was anxious about flying, which had the potential to be even more stressful because she was seated separately from her husband on the flight. Despite that, she told me after that she felt fine throughout.

Another client who finds crowds stressful has found that wearing the bands really helped her feel better and more in control.

How do they work? The bracelets have a small built-in button that sits on the PC6 (Neiguan) acupressure point on your wrist. This gentle pressure helps to calm the nervous system, which naturally eases anxiety, nausea, and stress. It’s a simple and easy way to support your emotional and physical wellbeing.

If you’re curious to know more, just drop me a message. I’m always happy to chat about how they might help you or someone you know.

I’ve just finished my training weekend in the Introduction to Emmett Technique with Jane Sheehan, a lovely lady who is very well known in the reflexology world.
Emmett Technique is a really gentle, light-touch method that helps release muscle tension and improve movement, very often with rapid results.
I’m really excited to start combining this with reflexology sessions to help with things like:
plantar fasciitis, ankle issues, knee niggles, sciatica, back tightness, shoulder issues, stubborn aches or movement restrictions.
I had a shoulder injury a while back and had recovered to around 95% movement but after just one Emmett move during the training, I noticed a real improvement; to say I was stunned is an understatement! So I’m really hopeful about how it can help you feel better too.
A big thank you to Springhill Hospice for the lovely room they provided us with for the training, it’s such a warm and welcoming place.
If any of this sounds like something that might benefit you, just get in touch and we can chat about how it could fit into your sessions.
