Help baby (and yourself!) to relax with reflexology
I am often asked if I can treat little feet with baby reflexology. Parents who have been with me in pregnancy yoga are keen to carry on this nurtured feeling after the birth, for themselves as well as their little ones.
Baby reflexology can be incredibly helpful in relaxing and soothing little ones. Babies who are teething, who are overtired or whose little tummies are full and uncomfortable, can benefit from therapeutic reflexology to the hands or feet.
Baby can stay in parent's arms as I gently apply light reflexology techniques to their feet. A baby session is much ...
Dynamic Yoga Workshops
Dynamic yoga workshops offer a more in depth look at the introductory breathwork, softening effects of yoga posture practise, with a longer than average class time, a deeper relaxation and time for sitting at the end for pranayama in stillness.
Workshops are suitable for anyone. I offer a quiet and gentle retreat away from the daily anxiety, stresses and strains, into a deeper understanding of your body and it's ability to quieten as you release the breath and allow the mind to let go.
Whether this be in your home, garden, place of work or a place you hired, ensure there ...
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 ...
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 ...

Reflexology for Students
With revision and exam periods, stress levels rise. Overwhelm can take over and cause many students to worry too much. It's a good time to make sure you are in the right frame of mind to study by supporting yourself with reflexology for students.
During a reflexology session the body relaxes deeply. There is time and space to think clearly, perhaps working out revision strategies or just allowing the mind to be free of everything for an hour.
Letting go and allowing the body and brain a period of no demands can be just the right thing to get you through the pressures of ...
Facial Reflexology
Having a facial reflexology treatment can be especially luxurious. This amazingly relaxing therapy is a treatment for anyone. It makes a wonderful gift for someone who deserves a bit of pampering. It can be ideal if the client is not happy with people touching their feet or hands.

It brings deep calm and relaxation to the client, helping them to de-stress and let go. On top of this, the facial skin, circulation and lymphatic system ...
