There might still be 3 weeks of summer left… but your child’s mind could already be in September. 🤍

New class. New teacher. New friends. Maybe even a completely new school.

And back-to-school worries don’t always wait until the night before.

Your child might not actually say “I’m worried about September.” Sometimes it comes out in different ways, or sometimes they simply need a little more reassurance and connection as the new term gets closer.

After 20 years as a reflexologist, and as a mum myself, these are 5 simple things I’d try now:

1. 🌿 Solar Plexus reflex
Find the soft area just underneath the padded ball of the foot, below the second and third toes. Using your thumb, gently work this spot in slow circles for around 30 seconds on each foot.

2. 🌙 Diaphragm line + slow breathing
Feel for the padded ball of the foot that runs underneath all the toes. The diaphragm reflex runs in a line just underneath this padded area, from one side of the foot to the other. Slowly work your thumb along this line while taking a few lovely slow breaths together.

3. 🤍 Gentle whole-foot hold
Finish by holding their feet or using slow, soothing strokes over the whole foot. It’s less about doing the “perfect” technique and more about giving them a few quiet minutes of connection.

4. 💬 Ask a different bedtime question
Instead of “Are you worried about going back to school?” try:

“What’s one thing you’re looking forward to and one thing you’re not so sure about?”

It gives them an opening to tell you what’s on their mind without putting the word worried into their mouth.

5. ✨ Give the worry somewhere to go
Before bed, ask them to write or draw anything that’s going round in their head. Fold it up and put it away until tomorrow. A simple way of giving all those thoughts that suddenly appear when their head hits the pillow somewhere else to be for the night.

Because supporting them doesn’t always need one big solution.

Sometimes it’s simply having a little toolbox of things to reach for when they need you. 🤍

And perhaps that’s something we mums need too.

Save this for the run-up to September and send it to

Nine has hit me harder than I expected.

I know the attitude isn’t really about me.

I know there are hormones, friendships, school, growing independence and emotions she doesn’t always know what to do with yet.

But knowing that doesn’t mean I don’t sometimes take it personally.

Because I’m her mum.

I’m trying my bloody best too. 🤍

And this is where nearly 20 years as a reflexologist has given me something I’m incredibly grateful for.

Because reflexology isn’t something I only use with my clients.

I use it at home too.

When she’s emotional and neither of us needs another conversation, I’ll sit with her and work her feet.

A few simple reflexology points.
A few slower breaths.
Five minutes where nobody needs to explain themselves.

And something shifts.

She gets that quiet, gentle support when everything feels a bit much…

and I get to stop reacting and reconnect with my little girl.

Sometimes I’ll even work the same calming points on myself afterwards because, quite frankly, mums need looking after too.

That’s what I love about reflexology.

It isn’t about fixing our children or making their emotions disappear.

It’s having simple, gentle tools we can reach for to support BOTH of us through the harder moments.

Her little feet.

My slightly bigger ones. 😂

Same house. Same difficult day. Both of us needing a little bit of calm.

And THAT is something I want to teach more mums how to do. 🤍

Save this if you’re navigating this stage too. There’s lots more coming.

🚽 Always looking for the toilet? Feeling puffy? Feeling stressed?

This is one reflexology point I work on almost every client.

The bladder reflex is part of the urinary system and is commonly included in a full reflexology treatment to support healthy bladder function, fluid balance and the body’s natural elimination processes.

It’s also a point I love to include when someone tells me they’re feeling tense or carrying the weight of a busy life. Taking a few minutes to work this area, alongside slow, steady breathing, can become a lovely little ritual to help you pause and reconnect.

✨ Here’s how to try it at home:

🤍 Use gentle to medium pressure.
🤍 Slowly walk your thumb over the bladder reflex.
🤍 Spend around 30 seconds on each foot.
🤍 Take slow, deep breaths as you work the point.

Remember, reflexology isn’t about pressing harder. It’s about working with your body, not against it.

Have you ever tried working the bladder reflex before? Let me know in the comments. 👇

After nearly 20 years as a Clinical Reflexologist, and as a mum of two, I’ve learnt one thing…

I can’t stop my children having hard days.

I can’t prevent every meltdown, every worry or every sleepless night.

But I can choose how I support them through those moments.

These are the five things I always reach for…

🤍 1. Reflexology before reasoning
When emotions are high, children often can’t process what we’re saying. Instead of another lecture, I often use the solar plexus or diaphragm reflex with slow, gentle breathing. Sometimes the body needs to feel safe before the mind can listen.

🌿 2. Lavender as part of the routine
Not just when everything has gone wrong. We use it as part of our bedtime and wind-down routine, creating a familiar cue that says, “We’re safe. It’s time to slow down.”

💛 3. Connection before correction
Children don’t learn in the middle of a meltdown. They need connection first. The teaching can come later.

😴 4. Protect sleep
Everything feels harder when children are exhausted. A calm bedtime routine is one of the best investments you can make in tomorrow.

🫶 5. Look after yourself too
My children don’t need a perfect mum. They need one who can pause before reacting. Sometimes that’s a deep breath. Sometimes it’s five minutes hiding in the loo!

After nearly 20 years, I’ve realised parents don’t need more complicated advice.

We need simple, realistic tools that help us feel more confident supporting our children through the hard days.

🤍 Save this for the next time emotions are running high.

Stop waiting for permission to enjoy your life. 🤍

Dance in the kitchen.

Sing too loudly.

Laugh until your stomach hurts.

Wear the outfit.

Take the trip.

Book the treatment.

Say yes to the coffee.

Say no without feeling guilty.

Life doesn’t have to be so serious all the time.

After nearly 20 years as a Clinical Reflexologist, one thing has become really clear to me…

When your nervous system feels supported, something shifts.

You don’t just feel calmer.

You start noticing the little moments again.

The moments where you catch yourself smiling for no reason.

The moments where your favourite noughties anthem comes on and you end up dancing around the kitchen while putting the shopping away.

Those moments matter.

They’re often the first sign that you’re feeling more like you again.

And that’s exactly why I love what I do. 🤍

Tell me… what’s the one song that instantly gets you dancing? 👇

I’ve been a reflexologist for nearly 20 years, and I still get a buzz every time a mum tells me bedtime has finally stopped feeling like a battlefield.

One little girl I worked with recently found it almost impossible to switch off. Her mum was exhausted, lying in bed listening for the first little cry instead of getting the rest she desperately needed herself.

I taught her a simple bedtime routine using the solar plexus and diaphragm reflex points, around 30 seconds on each foot while they took slow, calming breaths together. We added a sleep rollerball to support the routine and shifted bedtime from another battle into a quiet moment of connection.

A few weeks later, her mum messaged to say her daughter was drifting off within around 10 minutes most nights.

That’s why I’m so passionate about teaching reflexology. It isn’t about miracles. It’s about giving parents simple, practical tools that help their child feel calm, safe and ready to let go of the day. And sometimes, those little moments make the biggest difference. 🤍

This is a lovely caption. I’d just make a few tweaks to make it flow a little better and soften a couple of the claims while keeping it engaging.

⸻

After nearly 20 years as a reflexologist, I’ve seen so many parents try to talk their way through a meltdown when their child’s brain has already checked out.

We naturally focus on the behaviour, the shouting or the refusal to stay in bed. But often, their body is still on high alert, making it much harder for them to relax.

Meanwhile, you’re scraping untouched spaghetti bolognese into the bin, your shoulders are tense, and you’re wondering why nothing seems to be working.

One of my favourite reflexology points to show parents is the solar plexus point. You’ll find it in the centre of the foot, just below the ball of the foot.

Using gentle, steady pressure, hold the point for around 30 seconds on each foot. If your child is happy to, encourage them to take a few slow, calm breaths with you.

It’s not about pressing hard. It’s about creating a quiet, connected moment together. Sometimes that’s exactly what’s needed to help everyone begin to unwind.

No magic. No pressure to get it perfect. Just one simple technique that many families enjoy adding to their bedtime routine. 🤍

Save this for the next bedtime battle, and send it to a mum who’d love another gentle way to support her child.

I’ve got something really exciting to tell you… 🤍

If you’ve been here for a while, you’ll know one thing about me…

I never stop learning.

Over the past few months, I’ve been quietly investing in myself so that I can support you in even more meaningful ways.

I’ve had the privilege of training with the incredible Ziggie Bergman in Facial Reflexology and Poppy Delbridge in Rapid Tapping. These are just two of the exciting additions that will be becoming part of Serenity as I continue to grow and evolve.

For nearly 20 years, my passion has been helping people feel better. Not just in the moment, but by looking at the bigger picture and supporting wellbeing as a whole.

This next chapter feels really special, and I genuinely can’t wait to bring you along with me.

And before I go…

20,000 of you.

Thank you. Every follow, every message, every comment, every booking and every bit of support means more than I can put into words. Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or you’ve only just joined us, I’m so grateful you’re here.

Now I’d love to hear from you…

What would you love to learn more about? Reflexology? Facial Reflexology? Rapid Tapping? Sleep? Stress? Hormones? Or something else?

Pop your questions below, because I’d love to make more content around what you want to see.

The best is definitely still to come. 🤍

Some days, all our children need is a chance to slow down.

This is the diaphragm reflex, one of my favourite reflexology points to share with parents because it’s simple, gentle and easy to try at home.

The diaphragm is our main breathing muscle. When we’re feeling worried, emotional or stressed, our breathing often becomes quicker and shallower.

By gently working this reflex while encouraging slow, deep breaths, you’re creating a lovely opportunity for your child to pause, relax and take a full breath.

Here’s how to try it:

🤍 Find the diaphragm line just below the ball of the foot.

🤍 Using your thumb, gently walk back and forth across the line with comfortable, medium pressure.

🤍 Spend around 30 seconds on each foot.

🤍 Encourage your child to take slow, deep breaths while you work the point.

Deep breathing helps the lungs fully exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide and sends calming signals throughout the body. Combined with a quiet moment of connection, it can become a lovely part of winding down after a busy day.

I’ve been a reflexologist for nearly 20 years, and sometimes it’s these simple little moments that make the biggest difference.

🤍 Save this for one of those hard days.

There comes a point where you stop chasing people who only know one version of you.

The right people won’t expect you to shrink yourself, explain yourself, or constantly prove your worth.

They’ll make space for you.
They’ll celebrate your wins without competition.
They’ll sit with you in the hard moments without trying to fix you.
They’ll leave you feeling lighter than when you arrived.

I’ve realised over the years that peace isn’t just something we create on the treatment bed or through the tools we use.

Sometimes, it’s found in the people we choose to keep close.

Protect your peace.
Choose the people who feel like home.

Because the right people don’t drain your energy.

They help you remember who you are. 🤍
