❤️ World Heart Day ❤️
Heart disease and stroke affect everyone and prevention matters for all of us. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for ~10,000 deaths a year in Ireland, that's nearly 30% of all deaths. In 2021, there were 8,293 deaths from CVD in Ireland. Alarmingly, 80% of premature cardiovascular disease is preventable through lifestyle and early intervention.

💡 Tips for a Stronger Heart

Move daily. Even walking 30 minutes can help lower blood pressure and support vascular health.

Eat heart-friendly foods. More vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and less processed and high-salt foods.

Manage stress. Chronic stress is a hidden contributor to heart risk.

Avoid smoking & limit alcohol. These are major drivers of hypertension and vascular damage.

Check in with your doctor. Monitoring blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar levels is essential.

🌿 Reflexology & Heart Health - How It Can Help

While reflexology is not a substitute for medical care or treatment, it can be a gentle and supportive complementary therapy. Here’s how it may contribute to better heart wellness:

* Stress reduction: Deep relaxation from reflexology can ease tension and lower stress hormones, helping reduce one of the significant risk factors for heart disease.

* Improved circulation: Reflex techniques aim to stimulate blood flow and support micro-circulation, which helps nourish tissues and may reduce vascular strain.

* Balance and resilience: Reflexology encourages systemic balance (nervous, circulatory, endocrine), supporting the body’s capacity to cope with stressors.

* Mind-body connection: The calming effect may help with better breathing, sleep, and mental health - all linked to cardiovascular well-being.

Reflexology is best viewed as part of a holistic self-care routine, alongside medical screening, healthy habits, and lifestyle choices.

I love this weather for Reflexology treatments. Snuggled under a warm blanket with the rain hitting the window. If you would like this experience I have appointments available this Tuesday.

Symptoms sound familiar???

Stress can show up in the body in many ways.

Such as
-brain fog
-digestive problems
-anxiety
-tension.

Most of us are cruising along in this crazy life and don't even realise the damage stress is having on our bodies.

When stressed our nervous system is constantly in a state of fight or flight mode which can be so harmful if we don't slow down

What are you doing to combat stress in your life?

Finishing off the day in my favourite way.

Californian White Sage, and Sage in general is widely used by therapists for its cleansing, purifying, and aromatic properties.

I use this at the end of my working day

It is said that it:

*Clears stagnant or negative energy

*Promotes peace and clarity

*May have antibacterial properties (according to some studies)

For me it closes the day and I love the strong herbal scent xx

* Simple yet free self care *

Affirmation is a great way to silence the inner critic.

*I AM ENOUGH*

Yes, you are enough.
Exactly as you are, in this moment.
Not because of what you’ve achieved or what you still strive for—
but because your worth isn’t conditional.

Thought for the day xx

Reflexology can help so many people, it is a complimentary treatment.

Reflexology can help reduce anxiety, stress and tension.. Which are the main contributiors in my opinion, to many of today's health issues.

Here is how some people feel after a Reflexology session...

"I feel lighter and more relaxed"

"My legs feel like I'm walking on air"

"I have a tingling or warm sensation in my body"
