🌊 Did you know? 💆‍♀️

When I’m not helping clients feel their best through massage therapy, I’m out on the water representing Great Britain in blind sailing! 🇬🇧⛵️

Sailing has taught me so much about focus, teamwork, and balance — qualities that I bring into my massage practice every day. Whether I’m navigating the waves or easing muscle tension, my goal is always the same: to help you feel calm, confident, and in tune with your body.

Come and experience the benefits of massage with someone who truly understands the power of touch, awareness, and connection. 🌟

Reflexology isn’t just relaxing. Studies show it can lead to real, measurable changes in the body.

A review published in National Center for Biotechnology Information looked at what happens physiologically and biochemically when people receive reflexology. Here’s what they found 👇

✅ 1. Stress hormone levels can change
Several studies showed reductions in cortisol (the body’s main stress hormone) and salivary amylase after reflexology. Lower stress = better balance for many systems in the body.

❤️ 2. Heart rate and blood pressure may respond
People often experience a calming effect — including lower heart rate and blood pressure during or after a session. This reflects activation of the parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) system.

😊 3. Improved relaxation and emotional wellbeing
Participants consistently reported feeling calmer, more centered, and less anxious after reflexology. This isn’t just subjective — some studies observed measurable shifts in physiological markers of stress.

⚠️ Important note:
These changes don’t mean reflexology treats or cures disease. But they do show that what happens during a session is more than surface-level pampering. It can support the body’s natural stress regulation pathways.

A relaxed body has more capacity to heal, regulate, and restore balance. Reflexology supports the body’s natural balance by encouraging deep relaxation and reducing stress. Small shifts inside can make a big difference in how you feel on the outside.

Today, we wanted to take a moment to recognise the courage of the men and women who come to see us.

For all those heart-breaking moments, where you get up and try again, we see your amazing resilience and courage and we applaud you. It's not easy.

Couples who experience difficulties conceiving often reach a point where they feel stressed, tense, anxious and exhausted.

That's one of the reasons why we promote reflexology as a relaxing, non-invasive complementary therapy. It will reduce stress, alleviate pain and reduce symptoms associated with some reproductive health conditions.

Our members learn when they train with us during their Reproflexology™ course work, that it's not just the fertility enhancements it's working with the whole person, for both parents. Body, mind and spirit in combination.

Sharing a pregnancy success story today:

"I saw one of your members for fertility reflexology after suffering several recurrent pregnancy losses.

From the first appointment your reflexologist was knowledgeable, approachable and sensitive to my situation.

After every appointment I always felt super relaxed and recharged on another level!

The reproductive reflexologist worked on different areas depending on where I was in my cycle and she also gave me some pressure points for both my husband and I to work on in between my appointments.

After a couple of months of treatments I fell pregnant with a successful pregnancy and carried on with my reflexology treatments throughout the pregnancy.

I will always be grateful to your member for helping us and I believe that the reflexology contributed to us having a successful pregnancy and welcoming our son into the world."

Isn't that wonderful? We have trained reproductive reflexologists all over the UK and beyond. Our directory of members is global. Visit our website to find one local to you.
