🌿 Reflexology for Cancer/ Palliative Care 🌿

Reflexology for cancer/ palliative clients is quite different to a normal reflexology treatment. The same basis is used, but pressure is a lot gentler and lighter. Techniques are adapted to a client’s individual needs. Effleurage techniques like long strokes, gliding and holds are predominantly used. The main goal of reflexology for cancer/palliative care is to promote relaxation and instill a sense of calm, as this can be an incredibly stressful time for patients.

Massage & The Nervous System 🧠✨

Did you know your nervous system loves massage?
From the moment skilled hands touch your skin, your body begins shifting from “fight or flight” to “rest and restore.” Here’s how:

💆‍♀️ Calms the Stress Response
Massage lowers cortisol and tells your body it’s safe to relax.

🧘‍♂️ Activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System
This slows your heart rate, deepens your breath, and melts tension.

🔁 Improves Nervous System Regulation
Consistent sessions help your body switch more easily out of stress mode and into balance.

💤 Enhances Sleep & Recovery
With your system soothed, your body can repair, rebuild, and recharge.

If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, tense, or stuck in stress mode, a massage may be exactly what your nervous system needs.

🌿 December Updates 🌿

December appointments are currently full, however there are dates left for January 2026 for current clients.

Also with how busy and tight my December appointments are, this leaves no wiggle room for changes or rescheduling within this month.

For booking appointments or to cancel/reschedule, please use the booking system in the link in the bio as I am sometimes too busy to respond to messages.

However if you do need to cancel/reschedule in less than 48 hours before your appointment, you will need to contact me directly.

I will be finishing up for Christmas on December 21st and will be back to work on January the 6th.

Gift vouchers are also available for current clients, available from the link above!

Hope everyone is having a peaceful festive season so far ❤️

🌿 Feeling sleepy after a massage? That’s completely normal! 🌿

Massage therapy helps your body release tension, boosts circulation, and encourages your nervous system to relax. This deep relaxation can leave you feeling a little tired or even sleepy afterward—your body is simply shifting into recovery mode. 💤

✨ Tip: Give yourself some time to rest, hydrate, and enjoy the lingering benefits of your massage. Your muscles—and mind—will thank you!

🌿 Have you tried an Indian Head Massage? 🌿

Indian Head Massage is derived from the ancient Ayurvedic Healing system, which teaches self-care and prevention of illness. It is also known as Champissage, a Hindi word meaning head. It Is believed the manipulation of this body part will help promote balance within the energy channels (chakras) which will help the client be able to cope with everyday stresses and strains, feeling more relaxed and energised.

This treatment is helpful in not only alleviating tension, but also improves blood and lymphatic drainage and circulation.

The areas this treatment focuses on is the upper body quite like upper body tension buster, but we also include the face.

🌿 Why Might My Skin Go Red During a Massage? 🌿

Ever noticed your skin turning a little pink or red during (or after) a massage? Don’t worry — it’s totally normal! ❤️

Here’s why it happens:

✨ Increased Circulation: Massage boosts blood flow to the skin’s surface, bringing oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and tissues.

✨ Heat & Friction: The therapist’s hands create gentle warmth and friction, which can temporarily redden the skin.

✨ Release of Tension: As tight muscles relax, blood vessels expand — another reason you might notice that rosy glow.

Redness usually fades within a short time and is a sign your body is responding just as it should.

👐 Regular massage = better circulation, relaxation, and overall wellbeing.
