🧠 Fun Friday Fact 🧠

Your body has a built-in calm button — it’s called the parasympathetic nervous system.

This part of your nervous system is responsible for rest, digestion, healing and repair — the opposite of that wired, anxious feeling many of us live with day to day.

And at the heart of it all?
✨ The vagus nerve — the longest cranial nerve in the body — gently connecting your brain to your heart, lungs, and digestive system.

🪷 When your vagus nerve is toned and supported, your body knows how to shift out of stress and into calm.

💆‍♀️ Reflexology works in harmony with this system — using soothing touch and pressure points to invite the body back into balance. It’s not uncommon for clients to leave feeling:

Lighter

Sleepier (in the best way!)

More grounded and connected to themselves again

You might even sigh, yawn, or feel your tummy gurgle mid-session — all signs your parasympathetic nervous system is kicking in, and your vagus nerve is responding.

✨ Isn’t the body incredible?

Tell me - have you felt that deep exhale after a reflexology session?

Happy Hump Day! How's your week going?

Little reminder, as a level 5 reflexologist who is registered with Association of Reflexologist, I can provide receipts for those of you with a health cash plan.

So if you have (or can opt into) a policy with companies such as Medicash, BHSF, Simplyhealth, Benenden, Transport Benevolent Fund (and many more) you could access free or heavily reduced reflexology. 👣

What have you got to lose? 🤔

Book now and be sure to let me know you need a receipt on your consultation form.

A client last week really opened my eyes with her frank and honest discussion about loneliness.
It reminded me that loneliness doesn't always look how we expect. It’s not just the child left out at school, or the elderly person sitting alone.

It can be the busy mum who feels unseen, the young professional living in a new city, or even someone surrounded by people but disconnected inside.

Loneliness Awareness week takes place between 9-15 June. Let's reduce the stigma. Loneliness is more common than we think – and less talked about than it should be.

In my reflexology practice, I see how touch, presence, and safe space can offer connection in a world that often feels disconnected. Let’s keep having these conversations.

Let’s listen more, ask gently, and hold space for each other.

If you know of any supportive local groups across Greater Manchester where people can attend alone, please share them below. It might be art activities, movement or general support groups.

Big love to all as we enter pride month 🌈

I'm constantly reflecting, learning and hopefully being a better ally. I am passionate that my treatment room is a safe space for all to come and be nothing else, other than you.

share some easy ways to be more inclusive in the workplace and create a more respectful environment, especially for your LGBTQIA+ colleagues.

Let's help to create a safe environment by checking we:

❤️ Adding pronouns to your email signature, e.g. (He/Him).
🧡 Incorporate gender-neutral and inclusive language into your vocabulary.
💛 Celebrate and uplift your LGBTQIA+ colleagues, particularly if they come out to you, this can take a lot of courage and strength.
💚 Try not to assume someone’s sexuality/gender without asking, it is okay to ask someone’s gender or pronouns if you aren’t sure.
💙 Use They/Them pronouns if you are not sure of someone’s gender identity yet, they apply to everyone.
💜 Educate yourself on terms and vocabulary you don’t understand.
