World Reflexology Week 2024
This year, I'd like to build awareness of some of the different ways reflexology can be applied.
A taster day on Friday 27th September, brings you all you need to try out reflexology on the feet, hands or face. Or choose all three?
Additionally, you can choose to add crystals, hot stones (feet only) aromatherapy or reiki to your treatment.

Foot and Lower Leg Massage
A good foot massage is sometimes all you need to relax. If you have been on your feet all day, and worked hard all week, you might wish to have a pampering treatment that is nourishing and to your mind body and soul, to help you unwind for the weekend or prepare for the week ahead.
Therapeutic foot massage includes massage of the lower legs, ankles, heels and feet. Aches and tension can be reduced and your feet can feel pampered as you relax in blankets with an eye pillow for an extra touch.
You may not want or need a full body massage, and this treatment is for ...

Pregnant! Now what…?
Pregnancy. A time for many changes physically, mentally and emotionally. Sometimes even spiritually, as you become awestruck about the absolute miracle of life, growing within you. Sometimes good feelings, sometimes not so good.
As a mother to three children, with three very different births under my belt, I have experienced many different scenarios during pregnancy and labour.
From denial to fear, from diabetes to shoulder dystocia, and from shock to euphoria and total empowerment. My story is NOT your story, and your situation is completely unique.
I listen without ...

Adapted pregnancy sun salutation
Adapted pregnancy sun salutation is a lovely way to give a good stretch to the whole body and create space for yourself to breathe deeply.
In pregnancy yoga we adapt postures to suit. We do not overstretch as this can cause weakness after birth, due to the amount of the hormone 'relaxin' during pregnancy, making us think we can stretch further than necessary. Stay within your limits and be gentle. Downward dog is not for everyone, feel free to miss it out completely if you want to.
Afterwards, please lie on your left side with a bolster supporting your right leg, and ...
Herbal Eye Pillows
A herbal eye pillow is very relaxing placed over the eyes or next to the face as you relax. They are made using high quality herbs and linseeds or rice, which are stitched into a lining inside the pillowcase, ensuring that no filling escapes. They are made to order, using quality fabrics in a broad range of styles and colours, to suit everyone. Approximate size is 23cm x 8cm. Approximate weight 70g.
I have formulated 5 separate herbal mixes for you to choose from (please scroll to the bottom of this page for details), but with discussion I am able to adapt or even make ...
Your birth plan
A birth plan, of course, is an 'ideal' scenario. Rarely do birth plans follow suit without some tweaks here and there. As an example, I wrote on my third baby's birth plan 'Do not touch me!' and my wonderful midwife respected that totally, but of course as I progressed and the situation changed, she did touch me with permission. Had to in fact. But for the whole of my labour she did not actually physically touch me. I had my reasons, and they were important at that time. But she helped me and empowered me to birth my way until I needed her.
Things to include are your ...
