📢 Call for people to take part in a research project about ending fertility treatment 💬

She would like to invite individuals who meet the following criteria to participate in her research:

✔️ Ended treatment within the last 10 years after it was unsuccessful.

Participation will involve two key components:

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!

Delighted to have been a part of this 😁

​BANBRIDGE’s first-ever ‘menopause café’ was held at the Belmont Hotel last Thursday evening, and such was the demand for the initiative that the room was fully booked out – as a result, the organisers are planning to book a bigger room next time!

First menopause cafe was a huge success!! 🦶

✅First Menopause Cafe, Banbridge✅

Congratulations to Kelly Loughran and Jills Fitness for bringing the first ever menopause cafe to Banbridge. 👏 Thank you for your energy in supporting local women.

We heard from Centred Sole Reflexology, a specialist in menopausal therapy and wellness.

Lauren gave an overview of the menopause, the common symptoms associated with it, and scenarios which will help women better understand the ways in which they can help support themselves and each other.

The next meeting of the Menopause Cafe is scheduled for January. Private message Kelly or Jill to book.
