We are excited to announce that Kathy Wood has recently completed some additional training in Reflexology for the Menopause and can now offer Reflexology sessions tailored to specifically help people at this stage in their life.
Whether you are already using HRT or trying to approach this stage in your life without medical intervention, this treatment can help.
At peri-menopause and menopause (usually around age 40 upwards) reflexology works by helping to regulate the hormones in the body. It can help to alleviate and balance both the physical and emotional systems. By working with the hypothalamus and pituitary, reflexology can help to restore balance to the endocrine system. This in turn therefore can alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, sleep disturbance, joint pain and anxiety.
Research carried out at the UK School of Complementary Health in Exeter indicates a marked decrease in anxiety, depression, insomnia, hot flushes and night sweats among menopausal women who received regular reflexology over a 4 month period.
Contact Kathy if you’d like to know more.

Some advice about... working from home from Gillian (Massage Therapist). I'm finding that many clients I'm currently seeing are struggling with neck and back pain from working from home during the pandemic. This link has some good stretches for you to attempt if you are also experiencing these aches and pains. As with any exercise please do take care and listen to your body. Only do these stretches if you don't have any major issues or injuries and as ever there needs to be a disclaimer -so any guidance is provided on the understanding that exercises are undertaken at your own risk. Be well! If you'd like to book an appointment please visit our website for more details.

Neck and shoulder pain are common in sedentary jobs. Get loosened up and work out the kinks with these 12 exercises you can do at your desk.

Love this article's insights on how we can mentally shift from the distress caused by over-empathising into a place of compassion, which can lead to action to help those suffering and a healthier mental outlook for ourselves.

Here are three steps for overcoming the distress caused by a surfeit of empathy.

Focus on.... Psychotherapy. June Mitchell offers this talking therapy which helps you develop ways to overcome complex issues and concerns. You may be experiencing overwhelming emotions. You may feel stuck in the past, have present concerns, feel anxious or stressed. You may have experienced trauma or be feeling distressing loss. You may have lost confidence or have self-doubt. You may be going through relationship difficulties.

These are just a few of the issues that can be brought to psychotherapy. By working in a relational way with past and present experience you gain awareness and choice to make change in a highly supportive way. For more information on how to contact June, please see our website:

Focus on... Reflexology. Kathy (Butterfly Wellbeing) is an experienced reflexologist who takes a holistic approach to this wonderful therapy. If you are unsure about what reflexology is, Kathy gives some more information "Reflexology is a powerful method of relaxing the body and mind whilst balancing the biological systems.It works by applying gentle pressure to specific points on the feet which correspond with the organs, glands, muscles and systems in the body.

Whilst sometimes used simply to aid deep relaxation, more and more people are turning to Reflexology for a wide range of specific conditions such as stress and it's related conditions, sub-fertility, digestive problems, sleep disorders and many more."

This is the story of how Headingley Wellbeing Centre came into being... Kathy (Butterfly Wellbeing and Gillian (Calico Massage) met in 2015 whilst working together offering treatments at a children’s cancer charity and sharing a love for what they were doing and quickly became firm friends! When Gillian visited Kathy at her clinic in Headingley she decided it would be the perfect place for her to work from and joined Kathy there shortly after. In 2020 a room became available at the Clinic and Kathy met with June (June Mitchell Integrative Therapy & Coaching) who was looking for a change of scene for her and her clients. June’s professional reputation had preceded her so Kathy was delighted to welcome her to join the team. The centre was complete and we can't wait to welcome you to it!
