Classic Reflexology

I am extremely passionate about the benefits of complementary therapies. I am especially enthusiastic about helping people who suffer from stress/anxiety and supporting women in all areas of women’s health from Puberty-Pregnancy-Menopause and everything in between! I have first hand experiences in all these areas and I intend to combine my knowledge of holistic therapies, my nursing education and experiences and I aim to bring understanding and care to all my therapies to tailor the treatment for each client's individual needs.

What is Reflexology & how can it help?

Reflexology has so many benefits for your body, mind & spirit to promote general well-being.

Support for Women before, during & after Menopause

Reflexology can be a support to a woman going through their menopause journey, from peri-menopause to menopause to post menopause. It can aid in relaxation to help ease some of their menopausal symptoms.

Thankfully menopause is starting to become a topic that is freely spoken about thanks to some well-known forums speaking out about it, changing Menopause from a taboo subject of old to a natural topic to be spoken about.

Menopause is a natural process that every woman will go through in her life. Some are lucky and have no issues but many women have symptoms and some severe symptoms.

- Hot Flushes, Night Sweats/Cold Flushes

- Irregular Heart Beat/Palpitations

- Irritability/Mood Swings

- Insomnia

- Irregular Periods/ Change In Periods

There are many supports out there for people at this time in life and Reflexology is one of them. I would also advise you to check in with your GP or nearest Menopause Specialist. The most important thing is to talk about it and how you are feeling and remember everyone's Menopause journey is unique and different so speak your truth x.
