The Healing Tree

28/10/2026

October has been ADHD awareness month and, at The Healing Tree, I have many clients who have been diagnosed with ADHD, or who recognise themselves to be so and have yet to have an official diagnosis.

ADHD can be overwhelming and, when it feels difficult to relax, it creates a cycle of never-ending restlessness … which is exhausting 😞

My focus is always on what a client wants to gain from their session (eg. relaxation, re-setting the nervous system, pain relief, etc).

However, one of my favourite forms of holistic therapy when a client feels restless, unsettled etc is Reflexology. And, for ADHD, I would use Functional Reflex Therapy 💜

This form of reflexology is wonderful for calming the nervous system. Developed to assist children with special educational needs, it has been shown to also support those with high levels of stress and anxiety, dementia, ADHD, motor tics.

Calming and rhythmic, I bring in Functional Reflex Therapy (FRT) if I feel it is needed within a Reflexology session. And it is the calming nature of FRT, as well as Reflexology and other holistic therapies, which can support those who find it difficult to relax (whether or not they have ADHD) 💗

Being able to relax and re-set the nervous system is so important – especially when life can feel 24/7. If we don’t work on being able to relax, we’re at serious risk of burn-out.

If you feel in need of a re-set, have ADHD or are just feeling stressed, get in touch to discuss your next steps and see if we can work together on your wellbeing journey 🙏

It’s Menopause Awareness Month – the menopause being a transition for women as they journey through life 💜

For some, it arrives as a result of surgery, for others it is a breeze and then there are those who feel like their world is falling apart and they know they don’t feel ‘right’ but aren’t aware it could be symptoms of the peri-menopause/menopause.

And the age when it arrives is another grey area. I grew up thinking it happened well into your 50s and then I went through the menopause in my mid-late 40s. It’s this grey area which can be problematic - when we can get told by our doctor it’s too early to be the menopause and our symptoms are probably related to something else!

And the symptoms we can experience are vast: hot flushes, night sweats, insomnia, weight gain, loss of muscle tone, joint pain, brain fog, mood swings, anxiety, heightened sensitivity and emotions … and so it goes on 😒

We may, or may not, get the support we need from our GP. We may be advised to take HRT, however it may not be the course of action we want to take. Some may be unable to take HRT for medical reasons and others want to explore a more holistic approach.

On my journey into this stage of my life and being a Wellbeing Practitioner, the holistic approach is obviously one I was most keen to take and I found Qigong, Foot and Facial Reflexology and supplements support me well 💗

As with all things, for them to work, we need to get into the habit of regular practice/sessions until our body responds – and when it does, you just know you feel loads better than you did ✨

At The Healing Tree and CLUB CHI, we're here to support you on this part of your journey. Maybe it’s your next step? 😊

🌟 5-STAR REVIEW 🌟

Another wonderful review from a new client 🥰

Listening, caring and striving to support my clients on their wellbeing journey – that is what I love about my job and why I’ve built The Healing Tree to be this kind of holistic practice 💜

Taking the time to know what’s going on for my clients and ensuring they are comfortable and feel supported throughout. I always stress to my clients that it is their session – if they don’t like something, we adapt the treatment.

Each client’s journey is unique and supporting them on their wellbeing journey enables them to create that positive change (however big or small) in a naturally holistic way 💚

Reflexology, reiki, massage (and more besides!) ALL have the ability to create those shifts you may be looking for – releasing stress and tension, the clearing of anxiety and held in emotions, reducing pain and inflammation.

If you feel you need to be understood, to be heard and to be supported on your wellbeing journey, get in touch to discuss if we're able to work together 🙏

October celebrates the wonderful modality that is MASSAGE, with National Massage Day having been on 1 October 🙌

There are so many different forms of massage and hands-on therapies, including: Reflexology; Facial Reflexology; Indian Head Massage; Lymphatic Massage; Therapeutic Body Massage; Scar Work therapy … to name but a few 💗

Massage is used by people for a variety of reasons. Some clients use it to simply relax and unwind, while others have regular massage to help them manage specific health concerns. Many people who participate in sport have massage before and after training and competing, in order to stay in optimum condition and aid recovery 🌟

There are many benefits to receiving massage/hands-on therapies, such as:

🔹 Reduction in muscle spasm, pain and tension
🔹 Release of endorphins (the body's natural painkillers)
🔹 Promotes relaxation, therefore reducing stress and anxiety
🔹 Improves blood circulation
🔹 Improves lymphatic drainage
🔹 Improves digestion
🔹 Improves mobility

Are you in need of some hands-on therapies to support you to feel in a better place to where you are currently? It may be the best decision you make this month!

And, if you feel The Healing Tree is able to support you on your wellbeing journey, get in touch to discuss your next steps ❤

🌟 5-STAR REVIEW 🌟

My aim is always for you to get the most from your session and to create a positive change in a natural, holistic way. Being able to tailor the session to your needs at the time of your appointment is what makes my job so enjoyable.

Your wellbeing journey is unique to you, just as it is for every client I see ✨

🍂🍁Autumn – that time of year where, following the harvest, it’s time for nature to let go as the leaves start to fall and the energy of the summer begins to transcend to the stillness of winter, preparing for the return of spring next year 💚

In the Five Elements theory, autumn is the element of metal and is associated with the lungs and large intestines – the organs of elimination. When the Metal Element is strong within you, you're able to process life's experiences and let go of energy that doesn't serve.

Our bodies need to be strong to eliminate what we need to release – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually 🌟

Being strong doesn’t have to be pounding it out down the gym – it may be connecting to stillness as you receive the healing sounds and vibrations of a Gong Bath Meditation session 💫 Studies have shown how sound and vibration can support us at a cellular level … and maybe this is what you need to connect to as you transition into the next season? 💜

So, why not join CLUB CHI for one of our 60-minute Gong Bath Meditation sessions being held on:

Friday 2 October at 7.30pm (Lake House Kent, nr Ashford); and

Friday 9 October at 7pm (St Paul’s Church Hall, Boxley Road, Penenden Heath, ME14)

We look forward to welcoming you to YOUR RE-SET 🙏

This week we celebrate World Reflexology Week (21-27 September 2026) 👣🌟

And the theme this year is ‘Reflexology: Supporting the Whole You’ 🥰

I love reflexology as it really is a truly HOLISTIC treatment – working via the feet, face, hands etc with a top to toe / inside and outside approach 💫

Have you ever had reflexology? Or maybe you’ve heard about it and are curious to find out more?

Here’s a review from one of my clients who started her journey with reflexology:

"I was recommended to Lorraine to help with anxiety and panic. After three sessions it’s definitely helping and I will keep going back. She is such a lovely patient lady who tailors the session to how you’re feeling that day. I’m definitely getting my monies worth. Such peaceful therapies - I wasn’t expecting reflexology to be as relaxing as it is, but it’s great."

Reflexology was the first therapy I trained in over 24 years ago and I still love it as much to this day 💗👣 It also works wonderfully with many of the other therapies I offer, so is perfect for a combi session 💚

To give you an idea of how reflexology may support you, here’s a few benefits you may experience:

✨Reduces stress and promotes deep relaxation
✨Improves blood circulation
✨Eases pain and tension (including headaches, back pain, and arthritis)
✨ Supports digestive health
✨ Enhances sleep quality
✨ Boosts nerve function and responsiveness
✨ Supports detoxification through the lymphatic system
✨ Helps balance hormones and the endocrine system
✨ Reduces anxiety and improves mood
✨ Aids in recovery and overall wellness maintenance
✨ Supports natural healing in the body

Curious to find out more? Why not get in touch to discuss your health needs and discover reflexology (as well as other holistic therapies) – what have you got to lose? 💜
