While they can be seen as a luxury, massages are often part of healthcare – here’s how they affect physical and mental health

19/08/2025

A groundbreaking discovery suggests that a simple face and neck massage could help the brain stay cleaner and healthier. Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have identified a network of tiny lymphatic vessels just beneath the skin in the face and neck of mice and monkeys. These vessels drain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which removes harmful proteins such as beta-amyloid, a major contributor to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Previously, scientists believed these vessels were located deep in the neck, making them hard to stimulate. But with special dyes and a new type of anesthesia, they found them much closer to the surface. To test their function, the team created a small device that gently stroked the animals’ faces and necks. Just one minute of this massage boosted CSF flow by nearly three times, with older mice showing fluid movement similar to young mice.

Early tests in monkeys reveal similar promise, and researchers have even identified comparable vessels in human cadavers. While more studies are needed, including trials in Alzheimer’s models, this gentle, non-invasive method could one day help people reduce brain waste buildup, potentially slowing age-related decline and lowering disease risk.

A true pioneer of reflexology. May all the people you’ve helped across the world be waiting for you in the heavens. RIP 🙏🏻✨

The Passing of a Reflexology Giant

We were deeply saddened to learn from her son Elmer that Hanne Marquardt, a true pioneer in reflexology, has passed away peacefully at the age of 92.

Hanne Marquardt was one of the founding figures of reflexology in Europe. She was instrumental in shaping the profession and expanding its reach across the continent. Through her clinical work and the creation of reflexology schools known for their exceptionally high educational standards, she inspired and trained thousands of practitioners worldwide.

Her legacy will live on in the hearts, hands, and work of countless reflexologists across the globe.

A favorite quote from Hanne Marquardt:
"Why are our heads round? So our thoughts have the chance to turn around."

We carry her memory forward with love and gratitude.❤️

I had a message last night from a potential new client who told me I had no availability until April.
I’m so busy I didn’t even know I was all booked up!

I’m posting to say a HUGE thank you to all my lovely clients who I am on this journey with.

I love finding you a moment of calm and bringing you peace to help you feel better.

It’s been really lovely to see some significant changes in your health lately too…From better sleep, lower anxiety scores to more regular bowel movements and those who have stopped smoking/vaping ♥️

If you are a regular client of mine - it’s advisable you book your next treatment when you are with me at the end of your session.

As I’m fully booked, please make sure you are on time for your appointment, but no more than 5 mins early please. I need a break!

I’ve got some really exciting news to share with you soon 👀♥️

Sending lots of love,
