🗞️ MARIE CLAIRE: “Celebrities and Influencers Alike Swear by Reflexology as Part of Their Wellness Routine – So How Beneficial Is It, Really?”

“From what to expect in a typical session to what the experts actually think, here’s everything you need to know about reflexology before giving it a go yourself.”

“There are more nerve endings in the feet per cm² than anywhere else in the body, making them particularly sensitive to touch and stimulation,” Harding explains. “As a result, reflexology can have a powerful effect on the nervous system, helping to calm both body and mind.”

What a great article 🤍 Thank you for sharing the benefits of reflexology 🙏🏼

What a journey it’s been!

It’s certainly been a wild ride, but if there’s one thing I’ve always been, it’s consistent especially when it comes to my passion for helping people. 💛

✨ I’ve spent 20 wonderful years working in Health and Social Care.

✨ At 17, I began my career supporting homeless families across South Manchester.

✨ After two years, I moved into a role at a homeless hostel for men and women in East Manchester, where I stayed for six years.

✨ In my mid-20s, I had the privilege of being a trustee for a Manchester-based young people’s charity — an experience I absolutely loved.

✨ After seven incredible years with the British Red Cross and 18 months working in brain injury case management, I qualified as a Clinical Reflexologist.

✨ In 2022, I took the leap and launched my first business while starting my degree in Osteopathy with the College of Osteopaths.

I can’t wait to see what’s next — the sky really is the limit! ☁️💫

🦶🏼5 Little-Known Facts About Reflexology from Around the World 🌍

🇪🇬 Ancient Egypt
Wall carvings in the Tomb of Ankhamor (c. 2330 BCE) appear to show structured foot and hand massage. These scenes may represent one of the earliest forms of therapeutic touch, reflecting the Egyptian belief that health and harmony flowed through the body.

🇨🇳 China
Traditional Chinese Medicine has long linked specific areas of the feet with internal organs and the flow of “Qi.” This concept may have shaped modern reflexology’s pressure-point maps, and foot therapy remains an important wellness practice in China today.

🇮🇳 India
In Ayurveda, Padabhyanga a foot massage with herbal oils has been used for centuries to calm the nervous system and balance the body’s energies. This ancient practice may share roots with reflexology’s holistic approach to wellbeing.

🦅 Indigenous North America
Some Native American traditions are believed to have practiced foot-based healing, viewing the feet as reflections of the whole body. These practices emphasize harmony between physical and spiritual health, echoing reflexology’s core philosophy.

🇺🇸 Modern America
Reflexology resurfaced in the early 1900s through Dr. William Fitzgerald’s “zone therapy” and Eunice Ingham’s detailed foot maps. Their work transformed ancient ideas into a structured wellness system that continues to support relaxation and holistic health today.
