Self-care looks lovely on Instagram.
In real life, it’s often much simpler.

Less aesthetic.
More “lie down for a bit and let your nervous system catch up.”

Sometimes the most effective reset isn’t elaborate. It’s just giving your body a proper chance to relax.

Which one are you choosing today? Instagram self-care or honest self-care?

For the day that's in it...

Feels a little complicated. We know there is still so much to change- inequality, violence and the invisible work women carry everyday.
But today is also a time to honour something powerful: the resilience, compassion, creativity and strength of women!!
Women who keep going.
Women who support each other.
Women who quietly hold the world together in a thousand small ways.
So today, let's celebrate each other exactly as we are - imperfect, caring, strong and extraordinary 🌺🌺.
Much love ❤️ Gisela

Hello 🌞
It's nearly a year now since I started to work for South East Palliative care ( Waterford hospice) as a reflexologist and it's genuinely one of the best things i ever did !
People letting me into their homes to support a loved ones I will never take for granted.
Experiencing the magic of touch therapy on a person is truly wonderful.
I think it works because:
🌻touch therapy is powerful because it speaks a language your nervous system understands before words ever could.
🌻touch doesn't require analysis. It bypasses overthinking. Before we could speak, we knew being held, gentle rocking, skin to skin contact.
🌻when words fail - in loss, grief etc- touch still works.
More soon 🌺🌺
Much love ❤️ Gisela

HELLO MARCH.
Even after the longest winter, something green begins again.
Softer lights. Longer days.
In a world that feels loud and uncertain, may we notice the tiny reasons to keep going - a brighter morning, a kind words, a deep breath that steadies us.
Small things still count. They always have.
Wishing you a good March,
Much love ❤️ Gisela

So here I am jumping on a social media trend (as much as my arthritic hip allows me to 😀) and I think it's fun and cosy.
Enjoy the sunshine 🌞!!

Hello, 🌞
Sometimes a new client comes through the door of my studio and, although they really love their session, they don't come back.
That's ok - reflexology is not for everyone.
But I feel that the perception about the effects of a treatment are a little bit off.
Reflexology works different for different people.
Every body responds differently.
Some feel the effects right away and some notice change little by little. Both are perfectly ok.
What matters most is giving your body the time and consistency it needs.
Have a lovely evening.
Much love ❤️ Gisela

Today is
.
I am sure that we all have been affected by cancer, one way or the other.
I lost my mum and my sister to it and I know many of you told me about loved ones .
Today is about awareness and compassion and let's remember that behind every statistic and diagnosis are humans, family and stories. You are not alone ❤️❤️

Good morning,
There's so much going on today ✨️

🍀 a new month
🍀 a bank Holiday weekend
🍀 a full moon, the " snow moon"
🍀 Imbolc, the first day of spring in ancient Irish
🍀 St Brigid"s day.
St Brigid's day is a day where we are reminded that there is times of renewal and hope. It also celebrates all the ways Irish women have made and are still making remarkable contributions to life.
Have a wonderful day,
Much love ❤️ Gisela

Good morning 🌞🌞.
OK, I might have made that up😀.
I can't do miracles, but by being supportive and by working your body through your feet you will get a beautiful treatment.
And I can assure you that you will have a warm and relaxing experience and maybe forget the world for a bit( and we all need this at the moment).
In your session, I am using gentle, intentional touch.
Every treatment is personal, because our bodies, lives and feet are wonderfully different.
Have a good and dry-ish weekend x
Much love ❤️ Gisela
