Happy Monday and hello November 😍
Hope you all enjoyed Halloween 🎃

Sorry, but this is an All About Me post! 🙈

As you know over the past few weeks, I've struggled to do any reflexology. I did one client last week, just to see how I got on.

Based on that session, I am going to start again with limited appointments. I hate cancelling, so hopefully this will minimise it. I am waiting for some test results relating to inflammation and fatigue and I have a hand xray next week.

I was desperate, in pain and absolutely wiped out, I filled in a triage form online, listing absolutely everything and requesting to have an appointment with only one of two doctors. I got a GP appointment for 6.30pm a few days later. He was great, he listened, suggested and referred etc, explaining so much. I was there for just under an hour! I felt better just by talking about it and getting off my chest.

Don't be worried about contacting the GP surgeries and being specific about who you want to see. Sometimes you may have to wait a little.

Don't be bothered about listing everything, on their own, symptoms to you may not seem like anything, but combined with each other, they may lead to one thing.

The main thing is, speaking to the surgery in the right way or tone as you would to anyone really, filling out the triage form is a great way of doing it, you can write as much as you want and sometimes it's easier that speaking to someone.

There are a few slots available online for you to book or you can message me.

We also had some devastating news, my close cousin, only 2 years older aged 57, suddenly passed away on the 24th November 💔. We're just waiting on a funeral date 😢. Just shows how life can be whipped away in a second!

Take care all and I'll look forward to seeing you back in the therapy room, all be it a 'phased return' 💛

Honest post 💗

Well, that was a waste of time posting this availability at the weekend!!
Unfortunately I'm still not great and have got an appointment on Monday night and blood test on Tuesday. There are parts on my iron levels which are still really bad, causing me to be iron deficient, which doesn't help anything. I am permanently exhausted, all my joints hurt, certain clothing hurts my skin, so I really don't know what's going on - everything is such an effort, showering, getting dressed etc
So, I’m going to pause treatments until Wednesday. I hate cancelling on you, you’ve all been so lovely booking in.

Meanwhile, I’ll be pottering about in The Cubbyhole Gift Shop, surrounded by candles & wax melts, where I don't have to get dressed or talk to anyone and just trying to look after myself.

Thank you for listening and I hope you are all ok 💛

Thank you all so much for your patience over the past few weeks. Things have been a little tough at home with both Charles and myself having some health bits going on. I’ll be honest, I completely lost my reflexology mojo, I was shattered and the fatigue really knocked me.

But last week I finally managed to get back to a few sessions, and wow… I loved it! It felt so good to reconnect and I’ve definitely found my flow again.

I’m really sorry for all the swapping, changing, and last-minute cancellations recently, thank you for sticking with me and understanding.

Life throws curveballs at all of us, but the important thing is we keep moving forward. And remember, talking really helps, so please, always talk!

👣 I’m officially back for Reflexology!
Appointments are open online from 23rd September, and there’s plenty of availability.

This week we’re in Portugal, taking some time to rest, recharge, and come back fighting. 🌞

Each day is a fresh start to live my life joyfully.

Affirmations have the power to uplift, motivate, and transform our mindset. By repeating positive statements, we can shift our perspective and believe in our own abilities.

When we replace negative self-talk with empowering affirmations, we open ourselves up to new possibilities. Even on the toughest days, taking a moment to recite an affirmation can provide a much-needed boost.

Affirmations allow us to be our own cheerleaders. They help us let go of self-doubt, build resilience, and unlock our greatest potential. Think of them as daily doses of inspiration and self-confidence.

The simple act of declaring an affirmative mantra creates new neural pathways that promote optimism, success, and self-love. Make affirmations part of your routine and watch their magic unfold. You have the power to manifest the reality you want using the power of your words and thoughts.
