Calming the nervous system through reflexology involves targeting specific areas of the feet that promote deep relaxation. I gently work the big toes, corresponding to the brain and head, to quiet the mind. I then focus on the inner edge of the feet, supporting the central nervous system through the spinal reflex.

The solar plexus reflex, located below the ball of the foot, is a crucial point for releasing tension and triggering the body’s relaxation response.

To amplify the effect, I apply doTERRA essential oils such as lavender, frankincense, or Balance to these reflex points, combining touch therapy with soothing aromas to induce a deeply relaxed state.

🌸 Why Focus on the Uterus Reflex in Pregnancy?

The uterus reflex point (found on the inner heel area of both feet) is linked to the reproductive system. In reflexology, gentle work here may:
1. Support Hormonal Balance
• Helps the body’s natural hormonal rhythms, which can ease mood swings, fatigue, and tension during pregnancy.
2. Encourage Relaxation of Pelvic Muscles
• May help relieve tension in the pelvic area, supporting comfort as the body changes.
3. Promote Circulation in the Pelvic Region
• Reflexology encourages overall blood and lymph flow, which can reduce swelling and discomfort.
4. Ease Menstrual or Pelvic Discomfort
• While not aimed at inducing labor, very light work on the uterus reflex can help relieve general pelvic heaviness or cramping sensations during pregnancy.
5. Preparation for Birth (Later Stages)
• In the final weeks, some reflexologists gently stimulate this reflex to support the body’s natural readiness for labor.

⚠️ Important Safety Notes:
• Reflexology in pregnancy should always be gentle and supportive, never deep or forceful.
• Certain reflexes (uterus, ovaries, pituitary gland) are usually approached with caution during the first trimester

🌙 How Reflexology Can Help You Sleep Better

If you’re struggling with restless nights or trouble winding down, reflexology might be the gentle support you need. Here’s how it works:

🧘‍♀️ Calms the Nervous System
By activating specific reflex points on the feet, reflexology helps shift the body into “rest mode” — ideal for drifting off naturally.

💆 Lowers Stress & Anxiety
A session can reduce cortisol (the stress hormone), helping your mind settle and your body release tension.

🌿 Supports Natural Sleep Hormones
Reflexology encourages the production of melatonin and serotonin — both crucial for falling asleep and staying asleep.

🦶 Releases Physical Tension
Tight shoulders? Busy brain? Working on the feet can ease tension held throughout the body, especially areas like the neck, back, and jaw.

👶 Safe for Children Too
Reflexology is gentle and calming for little ones. It can be especially helpful during teething, sleep regressions, or general restlessness.

✨ Whether you’re a tired mum, a light sleeper, or just need a reset — reflexology offers natural, drug-free support for better sleep.

🦶 REFLEXOLOGY & THE NERVOUS SYSTEM 🧠🌿

Reflexology is more than a soothing foot treatment — it’s a therapeutic practice that supports the nervous system on both a physical and energetic level.

🔬 Clinically, reflexology works by stimulating over 7,000 nerve endings in the feet. These correspond to different organs and systems in the body, encouraging:
• Nervous system regulation
• Parasympathetic activation (“rest and digest” mode)
• Reduced cortisol (stress hormone) levels
• Improved nerve communication and circulation

🕊️ Spiritually, the feet are considered grounding portals — connecting us to the Earth, stability, and inner peace. Reflexology helps quiet the mind, calm the spirit, and open pathways for healing energy to flow freely throughout the body.

✨ When the nervous system is calm, the body remembers how to heal.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply in need of balance — reflexology offers a gentle return to wholeness.

📅 Book your session.
💚 Reconnect. Restore. Realign.

Question : How quickly can reflexology release endorphins?

Answer: Reflexology can release endorphins quiet quickly, usually within a few minutes of starting the session. The stimulation of specific points on the feet triggers the release of these natural feel good hormones, providing a rapid sense of relaxation and stress relief.
