There’s something I notice again and again…
Women come in carrying a lot.
Tension.
Overthinking.
That quiet feeling of needing to hold everything together.
And then… something shifts.
Not because we forced anything.
But because the body finally felt safe enough to let go.
These words from March stayed with me.
Sleeping deeply again.
Feeling grounded.
Trying something new and realising how much you needed it.
Walking into a space and feeling held.
That’s what this work is really about.
Not just the treatment itself…
but what happens afterwards.
The exhale.
The softer nervous system.
The feeling of coming back to yourself.
If you’ve been feeling wired, tired, or just not quite like you…
this is your reminder
your body is ready to soften too.

I often notice this in clinic…it’s not just the skin that feels different.it’s the body underneath it.
a little tighter.
a little less steady.
sometimes holding more tension than we realise.
And when the nervous system is sitting in that constant low hum of stress, it shows up everywhere, in our sleep, our skin, our energy…and how safe we feel in our own body.
Gentle, intentional movement can help soften that. Not forcing. Not pushing.
Just reminding the body how to move, breathe, and feel supported again.
This is a beautiful local space doing exactly that 🤍
If your body has been asking for something different, this could be a really lovely place to begin.

I’ve spent 20+ years helping clients find balance through facial reflexology, right here in Kerikeri. One client came in sceptical—she said it sounded “too gentle” to help. After a few sessions, she reported eased facial tension, deeper sleep and much less daily stress. That’s the clinical difference gentle, targeted touch can make. Book in for a free consultation and feel the calm for yourself. Book now: https://wix.to/ZK9HXpo 🌿😊✨

Pathways First, Always
The foundational sequence I teach is simple:
• Above the collarbones
• Tonsils
• Inside shoulder (apical nodes)
• Armpits
• Back to collarbones
Once these pathways are open, lymph moves on its own.
No forcing required.
Tools like the Electric Gua Sha Device should still follow this principle, low intensity, slow movement, always starting centrally.
The body doesn’t need to be pushed.
It needs to be understood.

Feeling Lighter Isn’t Imagined
Clients often say they feel “lighter” after reflexology.
That’s not imagined, it’s the nervous system releasing held tension and load.
Relief doesn’t have to be dramatic to be meaningful.

Hair Gua Sha – Scalp Support Matters
Healthy hair starts with a supported scalp.
Hair Gua Sha helps:
• increase circulation to the scalp
• release tension held in the head and neck
• support follicle health
• calm the nervous system
Many women notice their scalp feels more relaxed and “alive” with regular, gentle use, especially during times of hormonal change.
Consistency matters more than intensity.

Aftercare Is Part of the Treatment
What you do after a session matters.
Hydration, rest, and quiet time help your body integrate the work.
Reflexology doesn’t end when you leave the room, it continues as your system recalibrates.
24/02/2026
Opening Before Moving
Before encouraging movement, we open.
Above the collarbones.
Tonsils.
Inside the shoulders.
Armpits.
Only once those areas feel receptive do we move onto the face.
When clients use Facial Cupping or Facial GuaSha at home, I always remind them:
♡ Lift gently.
♡ Move slowly.
♡ Never drag or force.
Lymph thrives on softness.
The body responds best when it feels safe.
23/02/2026
Touch Is Communication
Touch sends messages to the nervous system.
Safe, steady touch tells the body: “You’re supported.” “You can soften.” “You don’t need to stay alert.”
This is why reflexology feels so different from other treatments.

Reset, Not Restart
You don’t need to reinvent yourself every week.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is reset, gently.

When I tell people that I am a Reflexologist I find it evokes various reactions, some are inspired where others are unconvinced. But why do I do this? The only answer I can give is that I completely and unequivocally love what I do!
There is something about my work now that totally fulfills me, I have such faith in practice and the healing effects Reflexology has for people. Everyday I witness people becoming healthier, happier and more able to fully embrace life through the work we do together and it never fails to amaze me! Who knew that the feet could be such a catalyst for our own healing?!
I feel truly honoured to be able to serve others through this work and humbled that I am able to earn my living this way as well. Everyday I have the privilege of being present with people on their journey to health, from simply finding relief from headaches, experiencing better digestion, finally being able to sleep again, alleviating discomfort during pregnancy, leaving a job and finding happiness, letting go of anger, coming to terms with grief and so much more. Over the past years I have witnessed so much positive transition for people and that is what makes my heart sing!
That said, it’s not always about everything being so seemingly ‘positive’. I have had many experiences of sitting with people in their pain as well, the pain of a miscarriage, grief or a relationship break up. I have also been present to support people who are dying from illness or cancer, these times bring so much perspective for all involved and especially me. I am reminded of our immense capacity to love, be vulnerable, surrender, find acceptance and of the resilience of the human spirit.
On a personal note, doing this work has been such an amazing learning experience for me – especially that old line ‘practice what you preach’ – any advice I do give I can honestly say will come from my testing things out on myself first! Reflexology I can honestly say has changed my life and given me self-belief. There has been challenges to overcome but it has enhanced my life in ways I cannot put into words. I am a happier, more balanced, version of me because of the work that I love to do.
I have learned so much over these years and I am beyond grateful for being able to do this work, I can hardly believe 2019 will make it Sixteen years since I started practising! I can’t wait to find out how this work will continue to unfold, where it will take me and the insights that will develop. For now, I cherish every moment that Reflexology brings to me.
May you all also find joy in the work you do and never be afraid to take that leap of faith to change that which does not bring happiness into your life! I can be testimony to the fact that all the challenges have been totally worth it!!There is something about my work now that totally fulfills me, I have such faith in practice and the healing effects Reflexology has for people. Everyday I witness people becoming healthier, happier and more able to fully embrace life through the work we do together and it never fails to amaze me! Who knew that the feet could be such a catalyst for our own healing?!
