Our hormones influence everything. Our mood, energy, and sleep, metabolism, fertility, and emotional resilience. When they’re out of balance, we can feel it in every part of our lives.

Reflexology offers a gentle, holistic approach to supporting the endocrine system - the network of glands that produce and regulate our hormones (including the thyroid, adrenals, pituitary, and ovaries/testes).

When we’re under chronic stress, our bodies release high levels of cortisol, the primary stress hormone. Over time, this can throw other hormones off balance - affecting menstrual cycles, thyroid activity, weight regulation, and even immune function.

By calming the nervous system and promoting deep relaxation, reflexology helps lower stress hormones and encourages the body to return to homeostasis - its natural state of balance.

🧠 How it works:

Reflex points corresponding to endocrine glands are stimulated, helping to improve communication between these systems via neural and circulatory pathways.

Activating the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) response reduces cortisol and adrenaline levels.

With less stress load, the body can better regulate hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, insulin, and melatonin.

📚 What the research shows:

A 2019 study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research found that women who received reflexology during their menstrual cycle experienced reduced PMS symptoms, less pain, and improved mood.

In Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice (2017), researchers reported that reflexology helped reduce anxiety and fatigue in menopausal women, suggesting a beneficial effect on stress-related hormonal imbalance.

Other studies note reflexology’s potential to lower blood pressure, improve sleep, and enhance overall wellbeing - all indicators of a more regulated endocrine system.

✨ The bigger picture:
While reflexology doesn’t replace medical care or claim to “fix” hormonal disorders, it can be a valuable complementary approach to help the body find its rhythm again.
For many, it offers a sense of calm, better sleep, and renewed emotional balance - the foundation for healthier hormone function. (shared from Irish Reflexology Institute.)

The Power of Reflexology 🙏

Reflexology is so much more than relaxation, it is a beautiful, intelligent communication between body, mind, and soul.

Whether we work through the feet, face, or ears, every touch supports all the body’s systems to communicate, harmonise, and restore their natural rhythm.

Reflexology stimulates blood flow and also activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is a precious state where the body rests, repairs, and heals itself.

Generally treatments help ease physical discomfort, release emotional tension, and calm the busy mind. Your body meets energy, and your body’s wisdom takes the lead.

The majority of clients feel a change in body and mind, the body truly wants to heal, it just needs the right support.

Your feet carry your entire story. Every joint, every muscle, every reflex holds a memory of how you move through life.

With foot reflexology, we release tension, awaken circulation, activate multiple nerves in each foot and restore the natural flow that supports your body from the ground up.

Clients often say they leave the treatment feeling lighter, and more at peace, as if the weight they’ve been carrying, both physically and emotionally, has gently lifted.

This is the difference between a simple foot massage and true reflexology. Reflexology invites your body to participate in its own healing. It’s grounding, powerful, and deeply restorative.

When your feet feel free, your whole being follows.
