Lift jowls/double chin by working the muscles at the back of the neck.
If this is an area you would like to improve, I can focus here in an Indian head massage or neck and shoulders massage. These massages are also very relaxing and great for easing tension and stiffness.

Do you often struggle to relax and unwind at the end of the day because your head is still buzzing with work stuff and other things that have happened during the day? If you find it hard to switch off at the end of the day, you'll struggle to get a good night's sleep and feel properly energised for the next day.

My online evening Meditation course can help! We'll be including mindfulness body awareness meditation to bring you out of your head and relax the body, breath-work to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system to create a state of relaxation and a guided meditation to focus the mind and bring insight and awareness.

Previous participants have reported that they have found this course invaluable for their mental health and for getting a good night's sleep. Even better, you can take part from the comfort of your own home where you can just continue to relax after the class. Doing a course as a group at a specific time provides a good incentive to set aside an hour for your own self-care and well-being. And after the course is ended, you'll be able to continue practicing some of the techniques we've covered on your own.

So if you are ready to create more peace in your daily life with the support of a qualified and experienced Meditation Teacher, book a place now!

My next online Meditation Course starts next week! It's a 4 week course for £45. The course will be held in Zoom on Tuesday evenings 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th March at 7.30pm. Please don't hesitate to contact me by email, tel or DM me via this page to book your place. X

My next day at the Natural Wellness Centre in Nottingham is Fri 6th March. Appointments are available late morning, 12.00 or 4pm.

There has been a rebrand at the Natural Wellness Centre so that the therapy rooms and yoga studio are now within Soul Chai, an Indian street food cafe. The cafe is open 11am-6pm and there is tea and cake available for those who don't want Indian food.

Please don't hesitate to message me if you'd like to book a treatment. x

Help for Plantar fasciitis with Reflexology and Foot Massage

Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes heel pain, especially first thing in the morning. It is due to inflammation (or irritation) of the plantar fascia — a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel bone to your toes. This tissue supports your arch and absorbs shock when you walk.

Common symptoms are sharp or stabbing pain in the bottom of the heel and pain that is worse with the first steps after waking up, after long periods of sitting, after (not during) exercise and tenderness when pressing on the inside of the heel.

Plantar fasciitis usually develops from repetitive strain rather than a single injury. Risk factors include standing or walking for long periods, high-impact activities (running, jumping), flat feet or very high arches, tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon, poorly supportive shoes and being overweight.

You can help symptoms at home by reducing high-impact activity and resting the feet, icing the heel (15–20 minutes), doing stretching exercises (calves and plantar fascia) and wearing supportive shoes or orthotic inserts.

Reflexology and foot massage don’t ‘cure’ fascia damage directly but can definitely reduce pain and inflammation, improve blood flow to the heel and arches, relax tight calf muscles and Achilles tendons, relax the nervous system thereby reducing pain and encourage the healing of tissues over time.

Here is some feedback from a Reflexology client who was experiencing a plantar fasciitis flare-up:
-
“My foot feels better already. I can put my foot down properly now which I couldn’t do this morning.”

Wondering if channelled guidance can help you?

Channelling is the art of bringing through guidance direct from a higher frequency energy such as your spirit guides or higher self without the use of psychic tools such as oracle cards. Channelled guidance particularly supports you on your life path, finding the best solutions to your current challenges and the best way forward.

Here are a couple of examples of the type of queries clients have:-

Client A wanted to know if she was on the right path in life and further guidance into her life purpose. The information she sought came through, inspired her and ignited her passion. Suggestions as to how she could incorporate more of her soul work into her daily life followed.

Client B was looking for insights into why she didn’t feel that Earth was her real home and into a specific long-term health issue for which there was no apparent genetic cause. I connected to her soul and called in her spirit team and discovered that her soul group of origin was indeed from elsewhere: her soul originated in a higher frequency star system of unconditional love which made her struggle with the density and harshness of planet Earth. Her health issue was traced back to a couple of past lives. One of these was as a monk which she strongly resonated with.

“This was so insightful and helpful. Now it all clicks and makes sense.”

If you’d like to book a session yourself at the current price of £65, please email, tel, Whatsapp or DM me. Sessions can be held online in Zoom or in-person at East Leake. Please note this offering will be increasing to £70 from 1st March.

PS. Look out for an exciting new Soul Alignment program coming out soon!
