Reflexology is much more than some people think it is. It’s calmer shoulders, deeper breaths, and your nervous system going, “Ahhhhhh, finally.” 💆🙌💜

It’s not unusual to feel sleepy, heavy, or even emotionally drained after a reflexology session, and it’s actually a good sign that your body is responding.

Reflexology activates the parasympathetic nervous system - the “rest and digest” branch responsible for slowing the heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and triggering recovery processes. When the body shifts out of a chronic stress state (sympathetic dominance), it finally has permission to relax, repair, and rebalance.

That deep relaxation can sometimes feel like fatigue, especially if your system has been running on adrenaline or stress hormones for a long time. The tiredness isn’t a side effect. It’s a signal that your body is resetting its internal balance.

💧 How to support your body afterward:

Drink water to help the body process metabolic by-products released during deep relaxation.

Avoid caffeine or alcohol immediately after your session to prolong the calm.

Rest if you can, even a short nap or quiet time helps integrate the benefits.

Feeling tired after reflexology is simply your body exhaling and catching up on the rest it’s been asking for. 😴

👣What makes reflexology different from other therapies?
✔️Non-Invasive:
A Reflexology Therapist can help alleviate pain by working reflexes on a corresponding body part.
✔️Treats the entire body:
While a therapist may only physically touch one body part, because bodily systems work together, reflexology can improve the function of the entire body.
✔️Clothing is not removed:
Aside from outerwear, clothing is not generally removed, which can be appealing to many clients.
✔️Cost-Effective:
It is less expensive to stay healthy, keep your body functioning optimally through regular reflexology sessions -than to try and fix a problem after the fact.

💜 Clear the Fog

Brain fog has a way of creeping in and slowing everything down. It can make even simple tasks feel like a mountain to climb.

Reflexology can support clearer thinking by calming the nervous system and improving circulation. Many people find they leave a session feeling lighter, more focused and just a bit more like themselves again.

A clear mind really does start from the ground up 🦶

🧠 World Stroke Day | Reflexology & Recovery

A stroke can have a profound impact on both body and mind. Alongside essential medical care and rehabilitation, some people recovering from stroke also turn to reflexology as a way to support their wellbeing.

Reflexology is a complementary therapy involving gentle pressure on specific areas of the feet, hands or face. While it is not a treatment for stroke itself, emerging research suggests it may:
✨ Help reduce anxiety and stress
🌿 Support relaxation and emotional wellbeing
🌙 Improve sleep quality and overall comfort
💓 Promote a sense of balance and calm during recovery

Many stroke survivors experience heightened tension, fatigue and anxiety - factors that can make rehabilitation more challenging. Reflexology may help ease some of these symptoms, supporting a more holistic recovery journey.

⚠️ Important reminders:
• Always seek medical clearance before starting reflexology after a stroke.
• Work with a qualified practitioner who can adapt treatment to your needs (e.g., mobility challenges, sensation changes, or spasticity).
• Avoid treatment if there is active DVT, open wounds or foot infection.

Reflexology works best when used alongside, not instead of, medical and rehabilitative care. For many people, it can offer a gentle space for calm and comfort during a time of major change. 💜

👣 Plantar Fasciitis: The Morning Monster Under Your Heel 👣

Ever hopped out of bed, took that first glorious step toward the coffee pot… and BAM 💥 it feels like someone stuck a knife in your heel?

Yep.

That’s how clients describe what their plantar fasciitis felt like!

It sure does have a profound way of staying: “Good morning, sunshine!” ☕🔥

Here’s the scoop (in plain English):

Your plantar fascia is this thin, stretchy band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot.

Think of it like that thin little layer connecting chicken skin 🐔 to the meat 🍗.

When it’s calm, life is good.

But when it gets torn or inflamed , welcome to the hobble club.

Here’s the kicker: your fascia just starts healing when you take the pressure of it to rest (like when you’re sleeping).

But the second you jump out of bed and dump all your body weight onto it💥 it rips back open.

That’s why mornings can feel like horrible for people who suffer with plantar fasciitis.

And it’s not just your foot. Tight calves are bullies too 🐂.

When your calf muscles pull, they yank on the fascia like a toddler tugging a balloon string. leaving your poor foot screaming.

👉 Where reflexology steps in (pun totally intended):

Reflexology works by releasing tension in the calves, relaxing the fascia, boosting circulation, and easing inflammation.

Translation?

Less hobble, more happy dance. 💃

So next time you hear someone say plantar fasciitis is “just foot pain,” you can smile, sip your coffee, and know that reflexology isn’t just pampering, it’s legit science for your soles.

💬 Question for you: Have you ever had that “stabbed-in-the-foot” feeling first thing in the morning or know someone who does?

😣 😢 Understanding Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety and depression aren’t just “in your head.” They’re real body/mind imbalances that affect your nervous system, hormones, sleep, digestion, and energy.

🌪️ Anxiety often feels like your brain is stuck in “high alert” mode with racing thoughts, tight chest, restless body, and constant worry.

🌫️ Depression feels like the opposite because your body slows down, energy drops, motivation fades, and even small things feel heavy.

They can both happen together, and they both have physical roots. When your body’s stress systems stay turned on too long, your hormones, gut, and brain chemistry all get thrown off balance.

How Reflexology Helps 👣

Reflexology is more than just a relaxing foot rub, it’s a science-backed therapy that stimulates specific pressure points on your feet, hands, or ears that correspond to organs and systems in your body.

✨ It helps by:

🧠 Calming the nervous system and lowering cortisol (the stress hormone)

💓 Improving blood flow and oxygen to the brain and organs

🌿 Balancing hormones and supporting sleep

💨 Helping your body shift from “fight or flight” into “rest and digest”

Many people notice deeper sleep, lighter mood, and clearer thinking after regular reflexology sessions.

It’s a beautiful way to help your body remember how to relax again.

💬 If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety or depression, know this: you’re not alone, and your body can heal. 🌱

Start small. Be kind to yourself. And explore holistic tools that support both body and mind. 💖

What Happens in a Reflexology Session? 🤔

Think of your feet like a secret map of your whole body. 👣 🙌👂

Every spot connects to a different part inside you — like your stomach, head, back, or heart. 💡

👣 In a reflexology session, we gently press on certain points on your feet.

😎🏖️ This helps your body relax, eases stress, and can even make sore spots feel better.

😌 Many people say it feels like a mix between a foot massage and a nap for your whole body.

👉 What to expect:

You’ll sit or lie down in a comfy chair.

The reflexology therapist will touch different spots on your feet with their hands. 👣 🙌

📝 Reflexology does not tickle

Most people leave feeling lighter, calmer, and happier. It can be like helping your body reset — from head to toe, inside and out!

💥 Headaches: the body’s very own smoke alarm. Except instead of smoke, it’s your stressed-out nervous system, cranky stomach, tight muscles, or hormone rollercoaster setting it off. 🙃

👉 Did you know different body systems can pull the “headache trigger”?

Digestive system: Ever had a “food baby” that turned into a “skull-crusher”?

Yep, sluggish digestion can push toxins up and your head pays the price.

🥒 Old-school fix: peppermint tea, ginger, or just lying very still and regretting that extra plate of perogies.

👣 Reflexology fix: working digestive reflexes helps your gut chill out so your head can too.

Muscular system: Shoulders tighter than your jeans after Thanksgiving dinner?

Tension creeps up your neck like a bad sequel and lands right between your temples.

💪 Old-school fix: grandma’s mustard plaster, hot cloths, or a neck rub from whoever owed you a favour.

👣 Reflexology fix: releasing tension points in the feet signals muscles to let gooo (cue Elsa voice 🎶).

Nervous system: Stress turns your brain into a 24/7 hamster wheel. Cue pounding headache.

🧘 Old-school fix: lavender sachets, chamomile tea, or a stiff shot of whiskey (depending on which grandma you asked).

👣 Reflexology fix: calming the nervous system reflexes helps flip your switch from “fight-or-flight” to “Netflix-and-relax.”

Hormonal system: PMS, menopause, thyroid… basically your body’s way of saying, “Surprise! We’re changing the rules again!” 🎢

🌸 Old-school fix: raspberry leaf tea, rest, or yelling at anyone who dared breathe too loudly.

👣 Reflexology fix: balancing endocrine reflexes to steady those hormone swings.

✨ Bottom line: Your headache isn’t random, it’s a clue.

Your body’s whispering (okay, sometimes screaming), “Hey! Something’s off!”

Reflexology listens, decodes, and helps reset so you’re not reaching for the mystery bottle of painkillers in your junk drawer.

So next time your head’s pounding, ask: “Who invited you? My gut, my hormones, my stress, or my shoulders?”

Reflexology might just send them packing. 👣💆
