👣💜Reflexology calms an overactive and suppressed nervous system.

Do you remember that old telly advert? Soldier on!

💜👣When the body continually soldiers on, i can feel both adrenal reflex's on the feet out of balance as the cortisol spikes.

💜👣When the body continually soldiers on, i can feel and actually see, the brain pineal gland like a tiny white bump in the middle of the big toe. And i can feel it easier, if i palpate in the centre of the thumbs.

💜👣When the body continually soldiers on, i can feel the pancreas reflex, mostly on the left foot as blood sugars get out of balance.

💜👣When the body continually soldiers on, and there's deep tiredness, feeling flat with little energy, i can feel the Spleen swollen and tender to the touch.

💜👣When the body continually soldiers on, pushing itself to its limit, this depresses and lowers the immune system, allowing anything virus, bacteria to get an opening in.

💜👣When the body continually soldiers on, your energy field slowly gets little tears or rips and requires sewing up!

🌿💜👣Reflexology helps you regain and restore balance or homeostasis in all levels of your Being, physical, mental and Spiritual.

How are your 👣💜feet 👣💜feeling today? School holidays are over! Yesssss!!!🙂

Time to get back into routine.

Your internal bodily working systems are mapped on your feet, hands, ears and face. I was trained and work mostly on the feet.👣

Feeling different pressure and odd sensations tells me there is a reflexology reflex imbalance relating to that specific internal bodily system.

Reflexology can help your feet work it out, create homeostasis, balance and tell me a Story, as Eunice Ingham would say!

(Updates being added to Website as we speak)

A flexible three-instalment Flexi Payment Plan is available for children and tamariki aged 10–12 years, where two or more consultations are booked in a series. This applies to one child/tamariki, or to two siblings both aged 10–12 from the same whānau and family, each billed separately.

🌿💜Package Health Investment: $233 per child/tamariki

🌿Health Investment Flexi Health Investment Payment Instalment Structure

Payment 1
$80.00— due 24 hours before first consultation
Secures your child's/tamariki's place. No consultation will proceed without receipt of Payment 1.

Payment 2
$80.00 — due 24 hours before second consultation
Due prior to your child's/tamariki's second consultation proceeding.

Payment 3
$73.00 — due 24 hours before third consultation
Final instalment, due prior to your child's/tamariki's third consultation proceeding.

🌿💜Cancellation and Rescheduling
We warmly understand that children and tamariki can become suddenly unwell, māuiui and without warning. Life with little ones is beautifully unpredictable.

#️⃣1️⃣We offer only One complimentary reschedule per child/tamariki package, with care and without question, provided Bridgitt is notified by email at least 24 hours before the scheduled appointment. Email is required so that both parties have a clear and kind record of the arrangement.

📧✉️Please send all cancellation and reschedule requests to: maintainingyourhealth@gmail.com

#️⃣2️⃣Second Reschedule Request
Should a second reschedule be needed, we gently ask that you reach out to Bridgitt directly by email, so we can find the best way forward together for your children's/tamariki's Holistic Natural Health Journey.
Bridgitt will respond with warmth, kindness and professional care to find a new appointment time that works for your whānau and family. Standard cancellation policy terms apply from this point, as outlined in the Maintaining Your Health Terms and Conditions.

If your whānau and family need to step back from the programme after the first consultation has been delivered, please let Bridgitt know by email within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment.

🌿💜Payment 1 ($80) is non-refundable, as your children's/tamariki's first consultation and clinical care have been delivered with full commitment and professional care.

🌿💜Payments 2 and 3 will not be charged, provided written email notification is received within 24 hours of the scheduled second appointment. We part ways with warmth and kindness, and leave the door open for when the time is right for your children/tamariki to continue their Holistic Natural Health Journey. 🍃

Because when your children/tamariki are well, your whole whānau and family thrives — and you deserve care too. 💚

We’ve all heard it. “Just wash your fruit and vegetables.”

It’s one of those pieces of advice that feels so obvious, so sensible, that we rarely stop to question it. A quick rinse under the tap, maybe a bit of a scrub, and we move on feeling like we’ve done the right thing.

And to be fair, washing does help. It removes dirt, reduces bacteria, and can deal with some things sitting on the surface.

But here’s a question we don’t often ask:

👉 What if not everything we’re trying to remove is actually sitting on the surface?

Because that’s where the conversation starts to get a little more complicated.

Not all pesticides behave the same way. Some remain on the outside of the plant, which means washing can reduce what’s left behind.

But others, including glyphosate-based weedkillers such as Roundup, don’t behave in the same way.

Some are absorbed into the plant as it grows — becoming part of its structure rather than something that can simply be rinsed away at the end.

So when we’re told that washing removes pesticides…
what are we really talking about?

And just as importantly:

👉 What might still be there, even after we’ve done everything “right” in the kitchen?

This isn’t about alarm, and it’s not about telling people to stop washing their produce.

It’s about understanding where that advice works — and where it might not tell the whole story.

Because once we start asking better questions about how our food is grown and what might be present, the conversation shifts in a much more meaningful direction.

If you’ve ever assumed that a good rinse under the tap was enough, this is worth a read - link in comments.
