The Old Greenhouse Retreat

When there is something BIG in your life, taking over your head, your time and your space, how do you rest between the next push?

Maybe you are preparing to launch your birds off to uni or a new job or other move that takes them away from home. Could it be a waiting game for health test results or treatment? Are you or a loved one going through surgery or treatment? Are you grieving? Do you have an ongoing project or projects, a looming deadline, a seemingly far out of reach unknown end date, a house move? How do you pause and recalibrate?

I have been quiet of late in my business, distracted by an exciting but overwhelming house project AND drawing to the close of a course I have been working on to offer more indepth support for my clients for fertility and general reproductive system health.

Both projects are intensifying at the same time and my head, my time and my space are 90 per cent taken up by both. I am hoping that my case study reports, at least, will be ready and posted off for marking before the weekend and I can relax and enjoy the Autumn Equinox with that goal behind me and enter the next quarter anew.

This week I have savoured the moments where my focus has been distracted momentarily by something beautiful and grounding. This one plant, a thistle globe, in the garden, attracting the most beautiful of insects, in this one space in time and forever embedded in my mind. A moment of calm. A meditative safe space to return to and to breathe.

Don’t forget, I am here to support you with the wonder of reflexology, through all your BIG things, to help you relax, release the tensions you hold in your mind and body, and feel restored to forge ahead. And in between times, I encourage you to take a moment to enjoy the stillness and beauty of nature to help bring you back to balance. Or find what works for you. It is important to notice, to take a moment, to breathe. 💚

Hello, welcome to the start of the new academic year, which always feels like start of the year to many. including.
Big thank you to my clients for your patience over the summer as we have had some works at home, which have caused a little interruption at times. We are almost there and bookings are open.
Hope you have all had a fabulous summer and welcome to new beginnings. 💚

Taking your basal body temperature when trying to conceive is the best way to determine accurate an ovulation point, particularly when you have a shorter or longer cycle than what is said to be the average 28 days. To find out more follow Association of Reproductive Reflexologists

Taking your temperature every morning might seem small, but it can have a big impact when you are trying for a baby.

Your Basal Body Temperature changes through your cycle. Tracking it before you get out of bed can reveal when you are ovulating.

One woman we worked with started charting her BBT alongside weekly reflexology. After 18 months of trying, her cycle became more regular and she conceived within 8 months. She is now a mum to a healthy baby girl 🥰

Sometimes, simple daily habits can lead to life-changing results.

I can honestly say, as I’m using this product myself, that since applying it to my feet each night I have not wakened in the night, as I had started to do recently. Hope I haven’t jinxed it! 😀 but I’ve had the best consecutive nights sleep in a very long time, and this is the only change I’ve made.💚
