A couple times a year I work with groups in rehabilitation. It's incredible to witness such courage and bravery in recovery. Only a couple more weeks left facilitating this amazing group - Recovery is Possible!
"Addiction is not a choice that anybody makes, it's not from moral failure, it's not an ethical lapse, it's not a weakness of character, it's not a failure of will - which is how our society depicts it this way, not is it an inherited disease which is how the medical tendancy is to see it.
It's a response to human suffering - an attempt to escape suffering temporarily." - Gabor Mate

We have all heard and felt that Reflexology is relaxing, but did you know it also stimulates creativity and productivity!

When we feel sluggish and tired we don't perform at our best. Like exercise, Reflexology restores mental alertness and improves the attention span.

By reducing tensions and calming the mind, we are free to think our best thoughts, best ideas come through, we have greater clarity at difficult tasks.

Sessions provide a quite time that is necessary for new ideas to light up.

Reflexology can send you off with the mental energy you need to be creative and productive!

👐THE POWER AND NEED FOR TOUCH THERAPY👐

As mammals we are wired for positive touch.

When touch is removed, people feel like there is something missing but can't quite put their finger on it.

We have a primal need to connect with other people on a basic physical level.

It creates feelings of safety, comfort, warmth, compassion, connection. The list goes on but you catch my drift.

Here's the science bit:

• Oxytocin is released - the 'bonding hormone' plays a big role in social behaviour - relaxation, trust, psychological stability.

• Dopamine is like the brains reward system, provides energy & motivation.

• It impacts Serotonin - the connection to Happiness and Wellbeing.

• Cortisol levels drop - reducing stress

• Vagal activity is increased leading to a calmer nervous system.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Touch is a language, a fundamental need to the human experience.

This is a great read for those that are wondering why energy levels and brain fog is happening during this pandemic :)

This is why you're exhausted just from being alone.

Brewing up a batch of Dandelion infused oil to take care of tense muscles and chapped skin.

Did you know you can make tea from the flowers, use the leaves in your salad and make coffee from their roots. 💛🌞
