🌸 MENOPAUSE AWARENESS MONTH 🌸

What actually happens to our hormones?

During perimenopause, oestrogen and progesterone can become increasingly unpredictable, fluctuating up and down before eventually settling at much lower levels after menopause.

These fluctuations can contribute to a whole range of symptoms — from hot flushes and night sweats to disturbed sleep, anxiety, low mood, brain fog, headaches, fatigue and changes in how we feel in ourselves.

👣 Where does reflexology fit in?

Reflexology cannot change your hormone levels, stop menopause or replace medical treatment.

But it can provide something incredibly valuable during a time when your not feeling like yourself.

A reflexology treatment is a chance to pause, switch off and make time for yourself.
It can support relaxation and wellbeing, and can be particularly helpful when you’re dealing with feelings of stress, tension, overwhelm or difficulty relaxing.

👣 Reflexology is about supporting YOU while your body changes. 💗

If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause and feel like your body has suddenly changed the rules, you’re not alone.

Put your feet up.
Take a breath.
Relax. 👣🌸

Plantar Fasciitis 👣

Have you ever experienced a sharp or stabbing pain underneath your heel or along the arch of your foot — particularly when taking those first few steps in the morning?💥

Plantar Fasciitis, is a fairly common causes of heel and foot pain.

What is plantar fasciitis?

The plantar fascia is a band of connective tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, from the heel towards the toes.
It helps support the arch of the foot, acting as a shock absorber as you walk.

Plantar fasciitis occurs when this tissue becomes irritated and overloaded.

The pain is often most noticeable when you first get out of bed or after resting .

What can you do to help your feet? 👣

A few simple measures may help manage symptoms:

🧊 Try cold therapy – a chilled can rolled gently under the foot can provide some relief. Wrap anything very cold to protect your skin.

🧘‍♀️ Gentle stretching – regular calf and plantar fascia stretches can be helpful.

👟 Look at your footwear – opting for supportive and cushioned shoes can help.
Try to avoid long periods of time in flip flops, or backless shoes if these aggravate your symptoms.

Where does reflexology fit in? 🌿

Reflexology isn’t a treatment for the underlying cause of plantar fasciitis, and as reflexologists we don’t diagnose foot conditions.

However, a reflexology treatment includes gentle massage and movement of the feet and, where appropriate, the lower legs. Some people enjoy having tired, uncomfortable feet gently worked and cared for.

If your feet are feeling sore, tired or in need of some attention, you’re very welcome to get in touch and chat about whether reflexology might be suitable for you. 💕

If foot pain is severe, worsening, keeps returning, or hasn’t improved with self-care, NHS advice is to seek medical/clinical advice rather than relying on massage or reflexology alone.

Have you noticed more aches and pains in your hips or knees recently❓

You're not alone❣️

Over the past few weeks in my treatment room, many clients have mentioned discomfort in these areas❣️

One possible culprit❓Summer footwear🩴

Flip-flops and other unsupportive shoes may feel great in the heat, but wearing them regularly can affect your posture and gait putting added strain on vour knees, hips, and lower back ❣️

As a result, the reflex points corresponding to the knees, hips and lower back can often feel out of balance❣️

During a reflexology treatment, I work on these specific reflex points to help work through any imbalances.❣️

If you've been feeling discomfort,
Try wearing supportive sandals or footwear with proper arch and heel support…especially if you're on your feet a lot. Your joints will thank you 🙏❤️‍🩹

🔬NEW REFLEXOLOGY RESEARCH | 2026

A recent clinical trial explored the effects of foot reflexology on restless legs syndrome (RLS) and sleep quality in people living with multiple sclerosis (MS).

The findings are encouraging, with participants experiencing improvements in restless legs symptoms and sleep quality following the reflexology intervention.

Research like this is important as we continue to build the evidence base around reflexology and its potential role as a complementary approach to supporting wellbeing and symptom management.

An interesting point from the authors: the study recommends that nurses receive reflexology training. This recommendation relates to the potential integration of reflexology into supportive nursing care. It should not be interpreted as suggesting that reflexology is exclusively a nursing intervention or should only be provided by nurses. Professionally trained reflexologists already practise reflexology as a dedicated complementary therapy.

Mian Dui

One element of this facial ritual is using a crystal Gua Sha.

What it is:-

🌿A crystal Gua Sha is naturally cool - a vasoconstrictor on skin (no! It doesn’t close pores but that’s another convo!)
🌿It can help ‘muscle memory’ - physically lifting and sculpting
🌿It can help boost collagen production if used quite firmly (micro-trauma)
🌿Strokes are always UPWARDS - never down

What it is NOT:-

🚫It is not lymphatic drainage
🚫It is too heavy to drain - pressure closes the initial lymphatics

Using a Gua Sha is an ancient treatment- the Chinese used any tool - a bottle top, a china spoon etc to scrape over skin (the ‘Gua’) all over the body. The ‘Sha’ refers to the rash (‘sand’) (blood spots from broken capillaries) that you get when used deeply on the body. Of course, as we are working the face we use less pressure than the body.

So, learn from experienced industry experts (and not social media influencers) the correct techniques.
