Why is it sore there?’ is one of the most common questions I hear in sessions 💭
This post explains it so beautifully. Tenderness isn’t something to fear — it’s simply the body communicating and asking for support.

Why some areas on the feet feel tender or painful during Reflexology

A question I’m often asked is:
“Why does that spot on my foot feel tender?”

Tenderness in certain areas of the feet is very common, and it’s not something to worry about.

The feet reflect the whole body.
When an area is sensitive, it can indicate that the corresponding part of the body/mind or nervous system has been under pressure, overworked, stressed or adapting to how a part of the body/mind change.

Tenderness can be linked to:
🔆 tension or stress held in the nervous system
🔆 areas that have been compensating or overworking
🔆 emotional or mental issues
🔆 reduced circulation or mobility in that area

As reflexology continues, these tender spots often soften.
This is a beautiful sign that the body is responding, rebalancing and letting go.

Your body speaks through your feet, hands, face and ears not to alarm you, but to guide you.
Reflexology simply listens and supports that conversation.

Gentle awareness creates change.
And your body always knows the way back to balance 💚

This speaks so clearly to the clients I see — arriving overwhelmed, stretched thin, and quietly asking their bodies for a pause.

Reflexology offers that pause. Not perfection. Just a softer sense of “I can cope again.” 🌸

In reflexology, balance isn’t about fixing or forcing the body into shape. It’s about supporting the body’s natural ability to find steadiness - physically, emotionally, and mentally.

So often, clients arrive feeling pulled in too many directions. Reflexology offers a pause, a chance to slow down and allow balance to return in its own time.

Balance doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It means things feel a little more manageable.

A gentle reminder of the depth and quiet power within this practice. 💛

INTO MY HANDS YOU LAY YOUR FEET: From my heart to yours ❤️

On the 1st day of the New Year, as a combination of introspection, evaluation, and pondering arises, I want to write to you, my lovely known or unknown client. I may have already touched your feet, or you may still be on your way to come to me, but in any case, I am hoping to make sense to you and explain a bit more about that electric current happening between my hands and your feet.

Thank you for your trust, for reaching out to me as a first port of call or as a last resort. This doesn’t matter; what is important is that you are here with me and I am here with you, merging both in one and being granted the mutual trust to allow the healing process to happen.

Maybe today you are coming with a specific physical condition. You are telling me that your shoulders ache or your spine hurts, and your knees give way, and you ask me to work on the relevant reflexes. You are after more of a clinical and physical approach. You are inquisitive about my knowledge, the techniques I can apply, and if it will soothe you. I am here to oblige and deliver what you would like for this session. I offer you all my humble knowledge and apply my little wisdom to deliver the treatment that you expect.

Or maybe you are feeling troubled, emotional, anxious, lost, and you do not know what you need or what you want. You just know that you needed to see me for a session; coming to my space will pacify you. I let you speak, release, whilst I connect with your feet, and then the silence strikes on both sides. The magical moment where silence takes prevalence and I am allowed to enter your soles, your soul, your space.

I observe your feet; they talk to me loudly within the silence of words. I feel them and ask them permission to go deeper and delve into the realms of your soul. Maybe you want to share today, or maybe your boundaries are up. It is my responsibility to tune in with you and respect your own very private space. I cannot force entrance into your privacy unless you grant me permission. But if you do, I am also here for you, to guide you through the touch of my hands on your feet as you lay your soles on them.

Whatever the scenario I encounter, each time and with each client, I will adapt and try to provide what is best for the highest good of my client. No two treatments are the same, but my greatest hope is that each time you leave my practice you tell me you “feel lighter” and stronger at the same time, the pain has diminished, and you are ready to embrace what comes next your way.

Today I allow myself to reflect and give myself space to consider how I can improve my practice.

All my best wishes to you for 2026,
my known or unknown client 💛

Richer meals and sweet treats can put extra pressure on your gallbladder during the festive season.

👣 Reflexology tip:
GB 41
Top of the foot, just before the 4th & 5th toes meet.
Gently working this point can support digestion and gallbladder flow.

Support it this festive season:
• Moderate rich foods
• Balance with fibre & veg
• Drink more water
• Eat slowly

A little daily foot TLC can go a long way 💚
Your feet often know first. ❤️
