Centred Sole Reflexology

27/03/2026

It’s been a while from I posted, but I really have to be drawn to a topic and speak from the heart; so here’s my latest ponderings as a reflexologist.

Let’s talk reflexology and the para sympathetic nervous system. Because above all else, this is the key to success, not only in reflexology, but in life!!

Let’s put the picture into perspective. That’s me parachuting…thanks to AI 😝 As we all now live high stressed, busy, demanding lives we live in a constant state called STRESS. Very very bad for long term health. Very very good for running away from a lion.

Let’s picture ourselves jumping out of the plane…the rush, the adrenaline, the pure fear…falling, falling, falling…fast!! Then out comes the parachute…things begin to calm, we see the beauty, the joy, we begin to enjoy the experience. This is what reflexology does, it’s activates the parachute…hence the name ‘para’sympathetic nervous system; para meaning ‘to protect against’. It’s our own built in protection against acute stress. But in 2026 we don’t experience ‘acute’ stress, we experience ‘chronic’ stress. So we need to do as much as we can to leave the stress behind and live in this state of calm and peace.

So if you like the idea of me activating your parachute and helping you land safely then I’m your girl!!

Lots of love,

Thank you for such a beautiful shout out!

It’s clients spreading my name that means the most! Almost all of my business is word of mouth and this is the best feeling ever. When someone comes along for the first time and says, ‘so many people have told me I need to come here, so here I am’, it’s thee best feeling ever!

So thank you to every person that’s ever uttered my name to a friend, loved one, stranger in a waiting room…anyone at all!! Lauren xx

As many of you may remember my love for all things ovaries, fallopian tubes, s***m and semen analysis was flung into the spotlight when I underwent further fertility and reflexology training on April.

I’ve now one completed case study under my belt! With one more to go.

My client had weekly treatments for six weeks. I supported her throughout a cycle called a FET (frozen embryo transfer) where a previously frozen embryo was transferred with the hopes of it implanting and her becoming pregnant. I’m overjoyed to report that the cycle was successful and she is now pregnant! What a perfect result. And what a privileged position to be in; to be part of a process which many choose to keep completely private.

Let me tell you IVF and all the other fertility treatments are no mean feat. The drug protocols, the injections, the scans, the cost!! After years of deflation and heartache there’s light! But let me also add, for many the light isn’t here yet.

So now I’m looking for my next case study. What I need from you is commitment to six weekly sessions and an openness to reflexology and letting me in.

It can be a male or a female. For a male, you would already have had a semen analysis already done, so we can compare a before and after.
If a female, preferably someone with irregular periods, a confirmed fertility issue or who has been TTC for over a year.
Drop me a message and let’s chat. (You all know how awful I am at money talk, but I’ll try and discuss payment.)

Here’s to case study number two and hopefully more success.

Set me the task of educating you on semen and all things s***m, no problem!
Ask me anything about those sneaky menopausal symptoms, no issue!!
Ask me how much you owe me at the end of your treatment and I recoil into my shell like a hermit crab!
I cannot do money talk! You know yourselves…half of you have walked out without paying at least once and I’ve let you swan on. 😂😂😂

So I’m going to make this as painless as possible for us both…from June first my reflexology sessions will have a small price increase from £35 to £40. I hope this is okay with you all and I really hate doing this.

However, I’ve been practising now for five years, I’ve never put my prices up and my shopping bill is becoming out of hand. I am continuously reading, educating myself (and you), completing more courses and haven’t had a break from case study submission in five years! All my own choice of course…however, I strive to be the best for all my clients.

So no hate please! Or I’ll just have to black book you with the one other client who was a no show back in 2020!!

Over and out…away to hide in my cave whilst I sweat out building the courage to post this 😂😂😂😂

(Plus my mortgage is up for renewal!) 😅

I’m currently stuck in the cabin…so I thought I’d share some thoughts.

We cannot underestimate the power of activating our parasympathetic nervous system. Half an hour ago I coaxed my rather angry six year old out to the cabin. I’d told him the PlayStation had to go off and it was time to chill. That went down like a lead balloon!!
Keeping my cool, but bubbling inside I suggested he come out to my cabin and I’d give him some reflexology. ‘Can I come to your cabin like one of your clients?’, is a constant request. So tonight was the night.

I’ll not lie…he didn’t skip out gleefully or cheer in delight. Nor did he jump up onto the bed and kick out his feet in excitement for what was to come (generally my clients don’t need persuaded!)

But I pursued, because I know how this magical treatment works and I knew it would ‘fix’ us both.
Twenty minutes later those beautiful blue eyes were heavy and his breathing was calm. I worked those big toes knowingly and purposefully. And then came a little jolt and a second later he slipped into peaceful slumber. 💤

Because together we created calm and peace. And that little mind quietened and so did this big one.

So as I’m sitting here, tears tripping me, wondering if I’m doing an okay job (not as a reflexologist, I know I’m good! 😜) but as a mummy. I hope you feel seen and heard this Saturday night. Because we all feel the pressure at times.

My tea is now cold, but my heart has warmed up.

Lots of love,
From a now weeping mess!
