Baby reflexology course
Wouldn't it be great if you could help your little one to feel calm and relaxed, ease discomfort during illness, and gently persuade them to sleep, all by "playing" with their feet?
Foot Massage Workshop
If you're looking for some ideas to pamper your partner, book this foot massage workshop with them and learn great techniques to really revive sore, tired and aching feet. They can learn alongside you, thereby making it more likely your pamper session will be reciprocated.
Imagine your partner could just massage your feet properly at the end of a long day. If you get a 'half-hearted' foot rub (if it can be even called that!) and wish they knew how to ease your aching feet & legs, and help you unwind?
Do you often massage your partner's feet but get stuck on the same ...
Reflexology in Palliative Care
Reflexology in palliative care gives a wonderful, soothing therapeutic touch. People with life limiting illnesses can improve their sense of well-being, so that they are not always perhaps having unpleasant procedures and medications being administered. With gentle reflexology, they can have a relaxing and comforting experience.
Sometimes, undergoing palliative treatments can be exhausting, impacting on sleep, changing routine, causing anxiety and stress levels to increase. Your medical team are often a great source of comfort and contact, however you may wish to have ...
Private Yoga Classes
During private yoga classes you can be sure of individual attention. Sometimes it can be difficult to be part of a class setting. Perhaps you feel self-conscious, or have never done yoga before and don't know what to expect.
1-1 tuition could be what you need to have a confidence in yourself, to realise that you are not the same as anyone else, and that you are on your own journey.
As you continue your practise, you will increase awareness of your own body and the sensations created within, from the subtle movements during physical practice and the breath as an explora...
Are you a no-helpian?
I was watching our favourite family movie the other day with the children. Otis the cow, in the film 'Barnyard', leaving behind his carefree days to take responsibility and stand up for others. Well, we all have to grow up some time. Yes, these days come to us all. During one of his 'partays' he gets pizza delivered. He reaches out of the barn door, with fake human arms, to collect the pizzas, really carrying far more than he can handle, and drops one of the arms!! The horrified pizza boy offers assistance, yet Otis (trying to protect his real identity as a cow) claims he ...
Mirror, mirror on the wall… that’s me?
What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you actually look at yourself? Have you ever looked deeply at your own eyes; the colour, variations between the outer iris and the inner iris; the pupils, changing size slightly as you turn your head and the light changes; the patterns within the colours?
What kind of feelings come up for you when you look at yourself?
Positive or judgmental?
It is so hard to see the good in ourselves. We spend so much time looking at others who are ‘like this’ or ‘like that’, instead of the reality that is ‘I recogn...
Pregnant, and hot! When the ‘glow’ gets you down, do yoga!
Ugh, stifling heat... You're pregnant, so, in effect, have a mini oven in your belly... Usually you glow, and it shows, in your unique loveliness as a mama-to-be goddess. But right now you feel like a mini volcano! You can't do anything, go anywhere without feeling uncomfortable. So take a few minutes to honour it, and do nothing... go nowhere. Wherever you are!
First, run your inner wrists under the cold tap for a while. It's very refreshing! Pop your feet in a bowl of cool water. A rolled up muslin cloth, or facecloth, soaked in cold water and squeezed out, placed on ...
EFT (emotional freedom techniques)
Imagine having a personalised toolbox for dealing with stressful situations at the touch of your finger... well you have! I will show you how to overcome issues you are experiencing or have experienced, or even are yet afraid to experience. The world of 'tapping' is at your fingertips.
Tapping, or Emotional Freedom Techniques consists of tapping on your face and upper body whilst repeating parts of a previously coined 'set-up' statement. Tapping points are pre-set and tapped in a specific order, to stimulate the meridians and allow the issue to be released or challenged, ...
Yoga… sleep???
Calmness, peacefulness, relaxation. "I could do with that!", people tell me, when I say I am a yoga teacher or talk about my practise. I also sometimes get the response "Oh but I am not flexible enough to do yoga.". Posture practise, which has commonly become known as 'yoga', is only one part of it.. In my humble opinion, yoga, (union of body and mind) is possibly more difficult to work towards through postures, to those of us who are flexible than it is to those of us who aren't, unless you are hung up on what the person next to you is doing.
Sometimes, even the thought ...
Reflexology
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.
Points and areas are pressed and gently held or 'finger-walked' to balance and soothe the body. This brings about a deep state of relaxation and encourages homoeostasis. I work with a gentle, but not light, pressure, which can also vary as I move around your feet.
Over 7000 nerve endings are in the feet alone. Based on ...
