Fatigue - whether chronic or seasonal - affects both body and mind 🍂 🍃
Changes in light, temperature, and daily rhythm can lower energy and disrupt our natural balance.

Reflexology offers a gentle, evidence-based way to support recovery.
Reflexology can be tailored to each person - whether through the feet, hands, face, or ears - with each area offering its own gentle way of restoring harmony within the body.

By stimulating reflex points linked to internal systems, it helps regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and promote deep relaxation.

Reflexology reminds the body how to rest - helping energy flow where it’s needed most.
A calm, grounded practice for times when you feel depleted.

Recent research supports reflexology as an effective complementary therapy for reducing fatigue and improving wellbeing. Meta-analyses and clinical trials show that stimulating reflex points on the feet can significantly decrease fatigue severity, improve sleep quality, and lower stress levels.
Studies published in journals such as The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (2011), Journal of Clinical Nursing (2018), Medicine (2023), and Holistic Nursing Practice (2025) found consistent benefits across various groups - including individuals with chronic illness and treatment-related fatigue. These findings suggest that reflexology promotes relaxation and autonomic balance, offering a gentle, evidence-based approach to managing both chronic and seasonal fatigue.
