Sole & Body Work offers Reflexology for Menopause treatments.
Last year, I decided to train in Reflexology for Menopause because of my experience of perimenopause and menopause. I found this period of my life difficult. I lost the sense of who I was; I became anxious and had incredibly low mood each morning. My sleep pattern was disrupted and I woke in the night covered in sweat. During perimenopause, I had aching joints and found movement difficult. I did not get prescribe Hormone Replacement Therapy by the GP.
Perimenopause and menopause often occurs at a time when our lives are becoming more stressful and complicated. Our 40’s and 50’s, are often when we are caring for elderly parents, children are entering teenage years or are leaving home to study, health issues arise for ourselves, partners, or friends, and relationships can end. All of this can make navigating the perimenopause and menopause more difficult.
Reflexology can prove helpful for people going through the perimenopause and menopause. Medical research* has discovered that cortisol levels can increase during perimenopause and menopause. This occurs because our oestrogen and progesterone levels decrease as we enter perimenopause. Excess cortisol can lead to us feeling more anxious and stressed. Reflexology can help reduce stress and promote relaxation.
The training I have completed has given me the knowledge and skills to support women through this period. I offer reflexology sessions specifically tailored to the menopause. Additionally, I can assist you in assessing your overall wellbeing and identifying lifestyle changes that will enhance your wellbeing. Menopause for Reflexology sessions are longer than normal appointments as we will spend time discussing and reviewing your symptoms. I offer longer reflexology treatments depending on your symptoms.
