🌼 International Self-Care Day 🌼

Self-care is something I talk about all the time—and if you’ve ever had a treatment with me, you’ll know I always remind you to drink plenty of water💧and rest afterwards 💤 It’s such a simple thing, but so easy to overlook.

The truth is, most of us are great at looking after others—but not so great at looking after ourselves. We push through, keep going, and often ignore the signs our body is trying to give us 🧘‍♀️.

As some of you will know, I’ve been fighting off a bug these past couple of weeks and unfortunately, I’m now on antibiotics 💊 and needing more rest and time off than I was hoping for. So, in honour of practicing what I preach, I will be taking the next couple of weeks off to rest, recover, and give myself that same care I encourage all of you to take 🧡

It’s always disappointing to have to cancel sessions—I truly love what I do 🙏👣—but I’ll be back soon, feeling much better and ready to support you again ❤️

Thank you for your understanding and continued support 🌸

Take care of yourself! today (and every day) 🧘‍♀️

🌟 Update 🌟

So happy to share that Anna was feeling much better in time for her birthday last week 🎉🎂 we had a relaxing day hanging out & a delicious afternoon tea at The Rabbit. Then she had a blast celebrating with friends earlier this week! 🥳

Now… it's my turn 🤒😫

This cough is particularly unpleasant! I’ll be taking it easy for the rest of the holidays. Rest, hydration, and of course — working those chest, lung & sinus reflex points on my hands! 🙌💆‍♀️

Grateful for my little healing helper, beautiful Daisy, keeping me company 🐾❤️

I’ll be back soon feeling refreshed — but in the meantime, if you’re curious about how Reflexology can support your immune system or help with respiratory symptoms, feel free to reach out. Always happy to share tips 💙

🦶 Reflexology and Cough Relief - A personal Note 🦶✨

I wanted to share a little bit of what's been happening with us—with permission from my daughter.

My daughters been dealing with that awful cough that’s been going around. It's been super nasty. She's always loved Reflexology so after a visit to the Dr last week to make sure it wasn't turning into something she needed medication for, I've been working on her feet to help her.

I've focused on:

👣 Lung reflexes – found on the balls of both feet, between the big & little toes

👃 Sinus points – along the pads of the toes

💨 Diaphragm – just under the ball of the feet

🧡 Solar plexus point – right in the centre of the foot, just below the ball — great for calming the nervous system

These areas relate directly to the respiratory system and working on them can help the body clear congestion, calm coughing fits, and support deeper breathing 💓

After a couple of sessions, she said she felt way better, could breathe easier, sleeping through the night again and today she's barely coughed at all 😍

Even after 20 years I still find it amazing how something so simple and easy and something we all have access to can make such a huge difference 💚

Sending healing thoughts to everyone out there dealing with this cough — may you find comfort, relief, and a bit of peace soon 💫

That each foot contains over 7,000 nerve endings, and during a reflexology session I work with many of them to help restore balance and promote healing throughout the body 🦶✨

Reflexology isn’t just relaxing—it also has real physiological effects. Each reflex point on the foot corresponds to a different organ or system in the body. By applying gentle pressure to these areas, reflexology supports the nervous system in rebalancing and restoring itself.

Research shows that the vagus nerve—the body’s main parasympathetic (rest and digest) nerve—is stimulated during treatment. This can help to:

💗 Slow the heart rate

🤩 Support digestion

😌 Promote deep relaxation and stress relief

Whether you're dealing with tension, fatigue, or just need time to unwind, reflexology offers a gentle yet powerful way to reconnect with your body’s natural healing process

Struggling to Sleep? 🌙🥱

If you're finding it hard to wind down at night, you’re not alone. Sleep disturbances affect many of us, but did you know reflexology could be a natural and effective solution?💤

Reflexology is a therapeutic practice that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears, which are believed to correspond to different parts of the body. By stimulating these points, reflexology can help promote relaxation, reduce stress, and even improve sleep quality.

Here’s how it works for better sleep:

✨ Relaxation & Stress Relief:

Reflexology helps activate your parasympathetic nervous system, encouraging a state of deep relaxation that can lead to better sleep

✨ Improved Circulation:

It promotes blood flow and balances energy in the body, helping you feel more rested

✨ Balancing Hormones:

Reflexology can assist in regulating hormones like cortisol, which plays a key role in your sleep-wake cycle

🌿 Ready for a more restful night’s sleep?
Book a session with me today to experience the full benefits of reflexology and enjoy a deeper sleep tonight!
