Seasonal truths.

Such a lovely way to share about Reflexology.

Winter can challenge your immune system, mood and energy. Cold weather, shorter days and higher stress levels often lead to stiff joints, poor sleep, low mood and reduced circulation.

Reflexology offers a gentle, holistic way to support your body through the winter months by encouraging balance across multiple systems.

How reflexology can support winter wellbeing:

• Relaxation & stress regulation
Reflexology helps activate the body’s “rest and digest” response. Research shows this supports deep relaxation and lower stress levels - an important foundation for winter health.

• Improved sleep quality
Studies suggest reflexology can improve sleep and reduce anxiety. Better sleep supports immunity, mood and energy when your body needs it most.

• Immune system resilience
By working reflex areas linked to the lymphatic system, reflexology may support overall resilience by helping the body manage stress - a key factor in immune health.

• Respiratory & sinus comfort
Reflex areas associated with the lungs, chest and sinuses are often used to ease tension and support comfort during seasonal congestion.

• Circulation & winter aches
Cold weather can slow circulation and increase stiffness. Research shows reflexology can help improve blood flow and reduce perceived pain and muscular tension.

• Mood & energy support
Shorter days can affect mood and motivation. Studies suggest reflexology may reduce fatigue and support emotional wellbeing through the darker months.

Regular reflexology isn’t just about feeling better when you’re unwell. It’s a form of preventative self-care that helps you stay balanced and supported all winter.

Reflexology is a safe, low-risk complementary therapy and does not replace medical care. Always consult your GP if symptoms persist.

Your health is worth warming up for this winter. 👣❄️

For the time that's in it - are you busy preparing for the upcoming holidays?

Remember to take time out to come back to centre.

Thanks, Gail for this lovely simple self-care tip from Jin Shin Jyutsu.

Chaos? What's that?! 😄 I'm sure many of you are feeling calm, cool and collected these days, but just in case I'm wrong, here's today's tip...
Maybe you're trying to balance work and home life, perhaps you have health issues that make any sort of life balance difficult, or maybe you just feel like the world is spinning out of control. No matter which area of your life is creating inner chaos, give this a try:
Simply cross your arms and hold the area directly behind each armpit on the outer edge of your shoulder blades.

Week 1: Hope

As the darker days challenge us, I'm inviting you to join a gentle 25-day journey toward greater hope, peace, joy and love in your life and the world.

Hope isn't about ignoring life's challenges or forcing positivity. It's that quiet whisper telling us that goodness is possible - even when we can't see the whole path ahead. It's about noticing the small lights that flicker in the darkness - the glimmers - trusting in what might show up, and remembering we've overcome hard times before.

This week, we're gently nurturing hope, letting it grow like a seed we're nurturing with faith.

This week's daily practices
Day 1: Notice One Small Light
Day 2: Remember a Time You Overcame Something
Day 3: Imagine Something You're Looking Forward To
Day 4: . . . . . . watch this space

Ready to begin? Each day offers something simple, meaningful, and achievable. No pressure, no guilt, just a little brightness during these darker days.

Who's joining us?

I started yesterday, and I'm inviting you to join me.

I'm creating 25 Days to Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love - an advent calendar for your inner wellbeing. 25 days of gentle practices, each one simple, meaningful, and achievable.

These days move through
💜 hope (the quiet belief that goodness is possible)
💜 peace (finding stillness in the spaces between our thoughts)
💜 joy (noticing and treasuring what's already here)
💜 love (in all its tender and strong forms)

These aren't sweeping grand gestures. They're small moments of presence, kindness, and care.

You're invited to show up for yourself during the darker days of December - or whenever you need brightness.

Whether you're joining now or discovering this later, there's a place for you. Come and begin with me. 🕯️

Time to let the tension go.

I just got back from some time away down at Curracloe Beach, and I have to say - it was exactly what I needed. There's something about stepping away that reminds you how much your body actually needs it.

To top it off, I had a reflexology treatment this morning, and wow - the difference it makes when you actually give yourself permission to pause and let someone ease the tension. It reminded me why my clients love coming for a treatment.

When's the last time you actually really stopped? Not just paused between tasks, but gave yourself an hour to just breathe and let go of what you've been carrying.

What would it feel like for you? Maybe it's a long walk by the water, time in nature, a treatment like reflexology, a bath, or just being still without the guilt.

Your body knows what it needs. The question is: will you listen while it's still a whisper?

Taking time out isn't a luxury - it's how you reset. Whether that's through holistic therapy, movement, rest or simply unplugging, those moments of release matter. They add up.

So this week, give yourself that hour. Your nervous system will thank you.

What are you choosing?

I slept 7 hours last night - amazing!

It's not just about sleep hygiene - is about the connection between our energetic state and how well we can rest. Our energetic state is all about your body, your emotions, your inner rhythm. Sleep and our energetic state are all connected.

I've been delving deeply into the energetics of sleep both from a biological viewpoint (exploring Matt Walker's book Why We Sleep as well as the energetic principles from Jin Shin Jyutsu and Traditional Chinese Medicine. If you'd like to know more, check out my blog:
