Overwhelm? 5 steps towards re-balance.
Are you overwhelmed? Are you interested in a FREE ten minute meditation you can listen to, to help you re-connect and gain perpective? Read on... Sometimes we all have 'off' days. Sometimes it lasts longer than that. Something just doesn't feel quite right and we reach a state of overwhelm... our mind doesn't want to stop thinking, and ironically it stops our thoughts from being clear.

What is Reflexology?
You may have heard people talking about this complementary therapy, but actually are unsure what is reflexology. I will attempt to describe it for you here. Reflexology is a special kind of massage on the feet, hands or face.

Over 7000 nerve endings are in the feet alone. Based on ...
Reflexology for Baby Loss or Miscarriage
Having reflexology for baby loss or miscarriage can offer you a comfort in your time of grief. Sometimes, through reasons we may not understand, some of us will miscarry a pregnancy at some point in our lives.
It can be an extremely difficult time, coming to terms with feelings about the baby we barely knew. Healing the body and mind is a lifelong journey. Sadly there may also be times when we have had to say goodbye to our baby or child of any age. The loss is physical as well as emotional.
Reflexology may support us through the grieving process and may help us to come ...
