Christmas three years ago, my life changed when I found a lump. What followed was a difficult journey of appointments, tests, surgeries, chemo, radiotherapy, fear, strength I didn’t yet know I had, and an overwhelming mix of emotions.

It wasn’t easy, and there were days when the road ahead felt long and uncertain but I was blessed with unwavering support from my family and friends.

Today, I look back and see how far I’ve come. Through treatment, recovery, and time, my body has healed and my health has returned. I am stronger, more grateful, and more aware of my own resilience than I ever imagined I could be. What felt like one of the hardest chapters of my life has become a powerful reminder of what the human body and spirit can endure.

If there’s one thing this journey has taught me, it’s how important it is to listen to your body. Finding that lump early made all the difference. That’s why I want to encourage everyone reading this to check their breasts regularly and never ignore changes, no matter how small they seem. It could feel awkward, easy to forget, or tempting to put off—but it can save your life!
Early detection matters. Awareness matters. And hope matters. It is amazing how our bodies can heal with the right treatment and support. Please take a moment for yourself—check regularly, trust your instincts, and encourage others to do the same 💗

Happy Christmas everyone. Thank you sincerely for every amazing visit this year. For trusting me to take care of you. I'...

Background: Menopausal women experience unpleasant physical and mental symptoms that adversely affect their quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of foot reflexology on the QoL of postmenopausal women.

Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on 90 postmenopausal women who were referred to comprehensive health centers in Yazd, Iran. The subjects were randomly allocated to two equal groups: intervention and control. The intervention group received 15 minutes of foot reflexology on each foot, twice a week for six consecutive weeks. No intervention was performed for the control group. Data were collected through the menopause-specific quality of life (MENQOL) questionnaire. QoL scores were compared between the groups before, immediately after the intervention, and two months after the intervention using Repeated Measures ANOVA. Data analysis was performed using SPSS v. 19. The significance level was set at 0.05.

Results: The Mean±SD of the QoL in the intervention group before, immediately after, and two months after the study were 77.44±19.05, 58.02±15.29, and 55.26±12.37, respectively. In the control group, the Mean±SD were 75.71±19.02, 74.82±16.84, and 75.46±18.05, respectively. Using Repeated Measures ANOVA, the comparison of the mean scores of QoL in the intervention group indicated that the scores decreased over time.

Conclusion: The results showed that foot reflexology could improve postmenopausal women’s QoL. Due to the simple and easy learning of reflexology, its training is recommended for all menopausal women to improve their QoL.

I hope everyone is getting time to enjoy the sunshine & fresh air. It's the perfect day for a little foot dip. This simple practice can reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, enhance muscle recovery, improve circulation, boost your immune system, and even relieve stress. In the entire body!

We have over 7,000 nerve endings on the sole of each foot which pass through our body's central nervous system, 20 muscles & sweat glands. The feet are a powerhouse of sensory input. This is why reflexology is so effective 👣
