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.

Relaxation therapy
Are you someone who finds it difficult to relax? If you think this is just you, or that you've always been like this, I can help you to find a better way.
As we come across stressful situations in our lives, perhaps before we are ready to deal with them, we can put them aside and move on. But we remain subtly primed for similar situations, and this conditioning builds our stress levels to the point where it can suppress the immune system.
If you have ever scheduled time off work or gone away on holiday, just to come down with a cold or feel too tired to do anything, ...
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 ...
Yoga Nidra Programme – Deep Rest
We are currently looking for a suitable venue in Allestree. If you know of a large, warm room for hire please contact me
Yoga Nidra Workshop £10.00
Come back to yourself in this body-mind restoration Yoga Nidra where you can experience the technique in person. Yoga Nidra is a guided relaxation that you listen to as you rest in a totally supported posture. This can be lying down or sitting, or reclining. We use lots of cushions, bolsters and blankets to ensure we are fully supported in our posture, so that we can deeply let go at a pace that suits us.
As you rest, ...
Doing yoga
So, you might ask what does 'doing yoga' consist of? What do we actually do within a class? As a beginner, will I be able to 'do it' at all? Perhaps you have been to many yoga classes, or done many home videos. Why is dynamic yoga any different?
In dynamic yoga we use repetitive actions to awaken the deep sensitivity within the body; to be open to sensation as it happens and to lengthen and broaden the body, creating space and openness within the bodymind. There shouldn't be any expectations, although flexibility and strength often occur as a natural by-product of this ...
Daytime yoga classes
We are currently looking for a venue in Allestree. If you know of a large warm room to hire please contact me
If you're looking for daytime yoga classes, our morning class will suit you perfectly. Dynamic yoga is a deeply sensitising practise which brings awareness to the relationship between the body parts as you move gently between postures. All postures are easily adaptable, and the focus is on what you can feel rather than what you can do (or what the mind thinks you can do).
These classes are suitable for any age and any body. Variations are always provided. Anyone ...

Yoga Nidra
We are currently looking for a venue in Allestree for group yoga classes. Please contact me if you are aware of a large warm room locally
Yoga Nidra is loosely translated as 'Yoga-Sleep; since yoga means union of the body-mind, therefore 'union of the body and mind in a deeply relaxed state'. The practise is quite simple. Lying down or sitting supported, so that you can totally relax, all you need to do is listen and feel.
It is a different technique to a meditation, and it is not a trance. You are very safe. You may fall asleep, and although this is not the aim, it can ...
Meditation
There are so many different types of meditation. Some contain movement; some contain stillness. Some have breathing practices; some have visualisations. Some have eyes open, some closed. The common element is focus.
Key benefits of regular meditation include: stress reduction, sleep improvement, sense of wellbeing, less emotional ups and downs, increased resilience, better concentration, clearer thought patterns.
As the mind stills, with regular meditation practice, it is able to recognise when it is wandering, catastrophising and creating drama. At this point we can ...
