What does reflexology do for you?

Reflexology has some fabulous scientific foundations — that speak of improved sleep, circulation, improved feelings of wellbeing, it’s role in alleviating aches & pains
and abilities for easing feelings of stress.

So, let’s talk stress…
Not all stress is harmful, but when it builds and lingers, it’s not good for your health and wellbeing. Over 75% of illness is linked to stress, (not a great statistic!) which is why tending to it gently really matters.

Each foot holds over 7,000 nerve endings. Imagine those nerve endings being slowly softened, calmed, and reassured, a quiet way for your whole system to relax and settle.

When we’re stressed, the cardiovascular system tightens and the flow of blood can feel less efficient.
Reflexology helps ease that tension and as the body relaxes, our circulation improves, and everything begins to work with a little more ease.

Sounds lovely, don’t you think? Come on in, take off your shoes, get cosy on my therapy couch, close your eyes and relax.

On the whole we don’t spend a lot of time caring for our feet do we?

Occasionally a pedicure maybe…It leaves them feeling fresh and looking pretty but what about reflexology? What difference does that make?

Firstly, here at R&R there’s a warm, comfortable space, and a welcoming smile.

As you settle, your breathing quietens, you’re safe, no distractions with phones or others wanting your attention.

As the treatment begins your eyes may become heavier, you think you’ll close them for a while and relax into the treatment.

You may be aware of sensations within your body as energy begins to flow more freely and your circulation improves, you’ll begin to feel the tension and stress lift and melt away and you may even snooze for a little while, either way you’ll leave feeling relaxed and restored. You could ask any client of mine and I think they’d agree 🥰

Do you need to allow yourself time for relaxation?

As my business approaches its 12th birthday, I’ve been reflecting on the journey — and I wanted to share a few things with you.

At 47, I chose to change direction. For years I’d worked with little people in all kinds of settings: as a nanny, running my own day nursery (many moons ago), supporting children in primary education and later in an SEBD school. I loved that chapter deeply.

But reflexology had been quietly tugging at my curiosity, I’d been having treatments for years, always leaving feeling so relaxed and restored. Eventually that curiosity grew into something bigger. I enrolled at Newcastle College… and the rest, as they say, is history.

Starting a business is one of the hardest leaps you can take. You hope, you pray, you trust that it will work — and it did. As a self‑employed business owner, the work can feel 24/7 at times. There’s always something needing your attention. But I wouldn’t change a thing. Even the mistakes have been lessons, nudges, and opportunities to grow.

Over the years I’ve welcomed the most wonderful clients. Some visit once or twice and move on — and that’s absolutely fine. Others have been with me for 10 years or more, and that means the world. It speaks volumes about trust, connection, and the quiet magic of this work.

Each year has its own rhythm. Some years it’s been conception clients, maternity clients, or clients navigating their mental health. One year was more of teachers, another of social workers. And this year… it’s been revisiting clients. Three I hadn’t seen for eight years, another after four, and recently someone who last came two years ago. It’s been genuinely lovely to support them again.

So whether it’s been a long time, whether you’re thinking about visiting for the first time, or whether I saw you just last month — it is always a pleasure to offer my services, knowing you place your trust in me. ❤️.

I’ll be back into my calm and soothing therapy space a little later today after a short 6 day break that actually felt like a fortnight! We crammed so much in but with a perfect balance of walking, dancing and relaxation. Festivals are fun 🙌🏻🎶

Today was a day of relaxation and a game of Shuffleboard = fun!

For many youngsters today will have begun with a sickly, nervous feeling, some will have been so delighted and others ending the day in despair.

Let me share my experience of education and exams…not brilliant!
I had some incredibly fabulous teachers who brought the best out in me but they sadly were overruled by the ones who said I’d amount to little (yes really, as a child I felt unworthy, as an adult - even now, bloody furious).
It wiped away confidence that I had very little of to begin with.

I’ve always been incredibly critical and hard on myself and put myself down before I would even contemplate blowing my own trumpet.

So if you’re a youngster reading this, I want you to know that in a few years this day will be quite insignificant, in a few decades of no significance at all.

You have the ability to prove people wrong.

You can create your own happiness with time.

You can find your dream job.

You can work for some fantastic people (I have).

You can be your own boss (I am).

Your life can be happy & fulfilled.

You will have time to relax and have fun - just like me today.

If you got your grades…many congratulations

If you didn’t ….it is NOT THE END.

Today a client arrived for her reflexology and when asked how she was, she replied, busy, just very busy!

How many women will be nodding to this?

It’s the school holidays, that’s a juggle in itself, who’s looking after who? Who is going where? What clubs have been signed up for?

Have you got your tickets, foreign exchange or bank cards ready (if you’re lucky enough to be going abroad on holiday). Have the last minute bits and pieces been washed? Is everything ready for the suitcase or are you mentally packing?

Oh my goodness, there is so, so much to think of, every minute of every day…you are not alone!

But my client made her 60 minute promise to herself, her favourite part of today (she told me 🥰), her time to close her eyes and even though there was A LOT going on in her head, she snoozed, not for long but she snoozed…sound good?
Why don’t you promise yourself 60 minutes?
Because you really, truly are worth it ❤️

Sometimes clients come to see me because they’re struggling with their health or simply don’t feel like themselves. They want to improve their wellbeing and find a little balance again.

Over time, positive changes often happen. While those changes aren’t solely because of our sessions together, holistic therapies can play a supportive role alongside the personal commitment and lifestyle changes each client makes. It’s always a partnership.

Today, one of my regular reflexology clients arrived looking absolutely radiant—and, more importantly, she told me she was feeling really well too. She’s consistent with her self-care, prioritises her wellbeing, and sees her monthly reflexology appointment as part of her preventative maintenance.

Seeing her looking and feeling so fabulous truly warmed my heart.

A new week ahead, a busy week for me as I launch my new ‘Pause & Pamper’ event. An evening with a self led facial, meditation and EFT, but the most important element is friendship & a sense of community.

I look forward to sharing some photos and feedback later this week.

But first a new client, a returning client, revisiting regular visitors for their facials, reiki and reflexology..which would you choose?

Do you make time for yourself?

Is there something you do for you that is set in stone?

I hope so!

A client gave me feedback recently, saying her Reflexology every month was her non-negotiable because it helped her to deeply relax, rebalance and leave feeling completely restored.

I have to say I’m completely the same about my monthly visits, it really helps me feel my best.

How are you feeling?
Have you considered reflexology?
Is it a non-negotiable for you too?
