Oxytocin ❤️

Known as the love hormone or ‘cuddle chemical’, it is an essential hormone for birth and breastfeeding. It’s responsible for starting and sustaining contractions in labour and the let down reflex for breastfeeding.

Oxytocin loves;
❤️ Relaxation
❤️ Peace
❤️ Warmth
❤️ Dim lighting
❤️ Comfort

Oxytocin hates;
🤯 Cortisol

Cortisol, our stress hormone, will stop oxytocin production in its tracks which is often why contractions slow or stop shortly after they start, as we (quite naturally) start to worry or panic about birth.

Physical touch is an amazing way to reduce stress and increase oxytocin production and is a perfect way for a partner to get involved in the first stage of labour……

*Really* slowly, with some oil for movement ask your partner to place both hands flat on your lower legs, starting from your ankles moving up to your knees and back down to the ankles. Repeat a few times and then move to the other leg. It feels lovely and relaxing but in addition the nerve endings stimulated during this massage trigger the release of oxytocin which will help sustain contractions and also help manage pain.
You’ve got this mama 💪🏼❤️

Chakra balance 🪬

As a reflexologist my treatments are very energetically focussed and I will always begin or end each treatment with a chakra balance using linking, and it’s really common for feel an imbalance depending on what’s going on emotionally at that time.

👑 Crown chakra - represents your spirituality. Colour Indigo
🪬 Brow/Third eye chakra - represents intuition & imagination. Colour indigo
🗣️ Throat chakra - represents communication & self expression. Colour blue
❤️ Heart chakra - represents relationships & love. Colour green
☀️ Solar plexus - represents our ego, sense of self and confidence. Colour yellow
🧡 Sacral chakra - represents sexual fulfilment, creativity & sense of connection. Colour orange
🪴 Root chakra - represents vitality, stability & security. It keeps us grounded when in balance. Colour red

If the energy in our body is blocked it can affect our physical health. Aside from
reflexology you could try reiki, sound healing (each chakra has an associated musical note and sound), meditation or using colour 🙏🏻

Ear seeding 👂🏻

Placed onto specific reflex areas or functional Chinese medicine points on the ear and held in place with flesh coloured hypoallergenic surgical tape ear seeds work as tiny little acupressure devices. You can apply pressure by pressing the seeds 3-4 times a day for around 30 seconds and this will reinforce the treatment and work as a self help to between treatments.
Ear seeds are used to target all sorts of issues from migraines, sleep problems, weight loss, pain and anxiety.
Ideal as part of any reflexology treatment ❤️

Auricular reflexology 👂🏻

Did you know reflexology treatments can be carried out on the ears? Whaaat!
Yep and it feels so good! The same reflexes as the feet, hands and face and mapped out on the ears but there are also some master and functional points used in traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, if you’ve ever had acupuncture there’s a good chance these points would have been used for allergies, weight loss, pain or depression.

Auricular reflexology is safe, simple, quick and because of the close proximity to the brain is very effective.
It can;

👂🏻 Improve the circulation and lymphatic system
👂🏻 Stimulate the brain and nervous system
👂🏻 Balance the body
👂🏻 Help with pain relief and control
👂🏻 Is relaxing and re-energising
👂🏻 Is fast acting and long lasting.

Auricular reflexology can be used alone or is really nice combined with face or foot reflexology and can be added to any treatment.
