✨Such lovely feedback. This 10year old boy had a fear of flying and anxiety around other issues such as noise and being overwhelmed in large gatherings. Happy to say he’s really gained confidence and is excelling in every way ✨

It’s not unusual to feel sleepy, heavy, or even emotionally drained after a reflexology session, and it’s actually a good sign that your body is responding.

Reflexology activates the parasympathetic nervous system - the “rest and digest” branch responsible for slowing the heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and triggering recovery processes. When the body shifts out of a chronic stress state (sympathetic dominance), it finally has permission to relax, repair, and rebalance.

That deep relaxation can sometimes feel like fatigue, especially if your system has been running on adrenaline or stress hormones for a long time. The tiredness isn’t a side effect. It’s a signal that your body is resetting its internal balance.

📚 Research supports this response:

Studies, including McVicar et al. (Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, 2007), show measurable reductions in heart rate, blood pressure, and anxiety levels following reflexology - clear indicators of parasympathetic activation.

A 2011 pilot study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that reflexology sessions produced significant decreases in salivary cortisol (the body’s main stress hormone), reinforcing the link between reflexology and stress reduction.

Improvements in sleep quality and relaxation have been documented across multiple clinical settings, from cancer care to maternity wards, all pointing to the same physiological mechanism of rest and regulation.

💧 How to support your body afterward:

Drink water to help the body process metabolic by-products released during deep relaxation.

Avoid caffeine or alcohol immediately after your session to prolong the calm.

Rest if you can, even a short nap or quiet time helps integrate the benefits.

Feeling tired after reflexology is simply your body exhaling and catching up on the rest it’s been asking for. 😴

💫 Letting go isn’t about bitterness — it’s about peace. 💫

When someone you’ve trusted lies or speaks behind your back, it can leave a deep ache in the heart. It’s normal to feel hurt and confused. But there comes a time when holding on only keeps you connected to pain that no longer serves you.

Cutting ties isn’t about anger — it’s about honouring your boundaries and choosing emotional safety. You deserve relationships rooted in respect, trust, and authenticity.

🌿 Sometimes, walking away is an act of self-love.
🌙 It’s how you create space for healing, for truth, and for people who value you genuinely.

Letting go is not a failure — it’s a step toward freedom, clarity, and inner peace. 💛

Kick up the arse!

This has not been a good week. I am always so positive and motivated and some how this week I felt slow, critical of everything and worst of all just felt negative and worried. The very things I work with my clients to change and to bust through. I can honestly say I felt low and possibly the lowest I have felt in some years. Totally filled with fear. Then……this happened……. A client who I regard as one of my favourite and most thoughtful and a very genuine person arrived for her appointment…….. bringing a gift.

A wonderful book I can’t wait to read. I am blown away at her thoughtfulness and how the timing was just perfect. My mood, outlook
And motivation has definitely changed. Blessings to you and your intuition for knowing ###

I am feeling blessed and filled with gratitude. I no longer feel the fear or worry. Cherish the people around you. My feelings have been swapped for positive ones
Thank you.

I’m still here. Stronger, wiser and happier.
It can be hard sometimes when you know people judge you, do not respect you or like you. But at the end of each day I am grateful 🙏 these people have thought me so much. I rise above it but I also accept it. This is me!
