Happy full Sturgeon moon peeps 🌕

The August full moon visible tonight is called the Sturgeon Moon because large sturgeon fish were most readily caught in the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water during this time of year. These prehistoric-looking fish, sometimes referred to as "living fossils," were a crucial food source and deeply connected to the seasonal rhythms of life.

🦶💥 Reflexology just keeps getting more amazing!

Did you know that pressing on your feet can create tiny electrical signals in your fascia — the connective tissue that wraps around everything in your body? That’s one reason reflexology can feel so powerful and even emotional at times!

It’s not just relaxing — it’s recharging your whole system. How cool is that? 😍

MAXIMISING THE POTENTIAL OF REFLEXOLOGY

I will soon make downloads available from my extensive archive collection. These include articles that will be very valuable, as they offer a deeper understanding of reflexology, leading to more effective treatments.

Today, more than ever, reflexology has established itself as a mainstream therapy with significant therapeutic and professional potential. To achieve this, reflexology practitioners must acquire extensive knowledge about how electrical energy moves through the body. Once understood, this will highlight the ‘key’ reflexes that have the potential for a therapeutic outcome.

THE PIEZOELECTRIC ACTION
Crystals are present throughout the fascia as crystalline structures within it. When pressure or torsion is applied to the fascia in the feet during a treatment, a piezoelectric potential is generated.

Fascia also comprises a liquid crystal substance. This substance surrounds all structures within our body; muscles, bones, arteries, and veins are all embedded within the fascia.

Emotional disturbances are often trapped within the fascia. When these are released through reflexology, an emotional release can take place. Additionally, trapped fascial disturbances can cause structural lesions or deformities. The term 'body armouring' was previously used to describe this phenomenon.

🦶 Reflexology ≠ Foot Massage

✨ Foot massage = relaxation + pampering
✨ Reflexology = therapeutic treatment for the whole body

As an Allied Health registered, meridian-trained reflexologist, I work with your health needs – not just your feet. Hands, face, ears, Vacuflex compression boots… it’s about restoring balance & supporting your body’s natural healing. 💚

Thank you Energy Reflexology for this great explanation! 🙌

🦶 Reflexology vs Foot Massage, What’s the Difference?

Both feel good. Both involve the feet, but they are not the same.

A foot massage is a nice way to relax, using slow, flowing strokes and oils to soothe tired feet. It is comforting and pampering, great to feel calm.

Reflexology, on the other hand, is a therapeutic treatment. It is grounded in knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and the body's reflex zones.

As professionally trained reflexologists, we ask about your health issues so we can work with precision, stimulating specific points on the feet and/or hands, ears and face that correspond to organs, glands, and systems in the body to help improve what is happening with your health issues.

The goal is to support your health, restore balance, and activate your body’s natural healing processes.

So while foot massage nurtures the feet, reflexology supports the whole person: body, mind, and nervous system.

With Reflexology, we will feel relaxed 👍more importantly, we will feel more aligned 😄✔️

I loved this reminder from the Association of Reflexologists 💚

Words carry energy—and the ones we repeat to ourselves matter most. Affirmations are like little nudges towards hope, healing, and resilience.

This month’s affirmation:
“I have faith that everything will work out beautifully.”

Take a deep breath and repeat it gently to yourself today. You’ve got this 🌼

I have faith that everything will work out beautifully.

Affirmations have the power to uplift, motivate, and transform our mindset. By repeating positive statements, we can shift our perspective and believe in our own abilities.

When we replace negative self-talk with empowering affirmations, we open ourselves up to new possibilities. Even on the toughest days, taking a moment to recite an affirmation can provide a much-needed boost.

Affirmations allow us to be our own cheerleaders. They help us let go of self-doubt, build resilience, and unlock our greatest potential. Think of them as daily doses of inspiration and self-confidence.

The simple act of declaring an affirmative mantra creates new neural pathways that promote optimism, success, and self-love. Make affirmations part of your routine and watch their magic unfold. You have the power to manifest the reality you want using the power of your words and thoughts.

Yes true story! And that’s why one reflexology treatment won’t “fix” long term symptoms, much the same way one gym session won’t get you abdominal muscles 😉👣

Reflexology & the Nervous System (Brain-Body Connection)

Your feet 👣 are the gateway to your nervous system.
Every gentle touch during reflexology helps restore the flow between brain and body.

When the nervous system is supported, your whole body begins to shift:
🦋 sleep deepens
🦋 digestion softens
🦋 stress and anxiety ease
🦋 and much more as all body systems function in a more balanced way

This isn’t just touch, it’s communication between the nervous system and the whole body and mind.
Your body remembers how to feel safe, again. With regular follow up sessions, this memory becomes a new regular function.

Digestive discomfort can be more than just bloating or irregularity. It often reflects deeper imbalances in the nervous system, stress levels, and overall wellbeing.

Reflexology supports gut health by:
✨ Stimulating reflex points linked to the stomach, intestines, liver, and colon
✨ Calming the nervous system to ease stress-related digestive issues
✨ Supporting better circulation and elimination
✨ Encouraging your body’s natural detox pathways

Whether you're dealing with IBS, sluggish digestion, or general gut discomfort, reflexology offers a gentle, holistic approach to restoring balance from the feet up. 👣
