✨ SELF CARE SOUNDBATH ✨
Sunday 27th September | 6–7.30pm | Balbriggan

As September draws to a close and the familiar rhythm of autumn routines begins to return, why not give yourself permission to slow down, pause and simply be?

Come and spend 90 minutes wrapped in soothing sound and vibration — a gentle space to step away from the busyness of everyday life and reconnect with yourself. 🌿

Allow the rainstick to softly wash through the room, creating a sense of settling and grounding as you arrive.

The warm, resonant tones of Tibetan singing bowls will then guide you deeper into stillness, their vibrations gently surrounding you as you breathe, soften and let go.

The delicate voices of a variety of chimes will drift through the space like a soft autumn breeze, while the Solfeggio pipes invite a feeling of spaciousness and calm.

The earthy rhythm of the shamanic drum brings a grounding heartbeat into the soundscape, followed by the rich, flowing tones of the monochord, creating layers of sound for you to rest within.

And as the gong washes over the space in waves of sound, the subtle, delicate vibrations of the tuning forks offer a beautiful closing journey — leaving you with time to simply breathe, rest and receive.

🌙 This is your invitation to slow down.
To put the to-do list aside.
To honour your body and nervous system.
To rest before the pace of autumn takes hold.

Come exactly as you are.
Bring your mat, blanket and pillow and make yourself comfortable.

🌿 Fertility Reflexology at Tree of Life Malahide Holistic Centre 🌿

Did you know that around 1 in 6 couples experience fertility difficulties?

The fertility journey can be an emotional and overwhelming one, and sometimes you simply need a space where you can slow down, breathe and feel supported. 🤍

Fertility reflexology is a gentle, holistic treatment that works with the body as a whole, with the intention of supporting:

✨ Reproductive and hormonal balance
✨ A healthy menstrual cycle
✨ Circulation and blood flow to the reproductive organs
✨ Relaxation and restful sleep
✨ Stress reduction and nervous system regulation

By helping the body move away from the “fight or flight” response and towards “rest and digest”, reflexology can offer a nurturing space to support your wellbeing throughout your fertility journey.

Fertility reflexology can also be received alongside medical fertility treatments such as IVF and IUI, as a complementary therapy. Your medical team should always be kept informed and medical advice should remain your primary source of fertility care. Most medical teams recommend reflexology as a support during fertility treatments.

Whether you are trying to conceive naturally, preparing for treatment, or simply looking for some gentle support, I would love to support you on your fertility journey. 🌸

🔬 REFLEXOLOGY RESEARCH | 2026

A 2026 randomized controlled trial has explored the effects of foot reflexology massage with aromatic oils on sleep quality in adults experiencing poor sleep.

The study included 40 adults, who were randomly allocated to either a reflexology group or a control group.

Participants in the reflexology group received a 20-minute foot reflexology massage each day for 21 days, using a blend of lavender, rosemary and chamomile oils.

What did the researchers find?

Following the three-week intervention, participants who received reflexology experienced a significant improvement in their overall sleep quality compared with the control group.

The researchers concluded that foot reflexology massage with aromatic oils showed potential as a complementary approach for improving sleep quality.

These findings are encouraging for the reflexology profession and add to the growing body of research exploring how reflexology may support rest, relaxation and wellbeing.

Research such as this is an important contribution to the developing evidence base for our profession and helps us continue the conversation around the potential role of reflexology within complementary and supportive healthcare.

As always, reflexology is a complementary therapy and should not replace appropriate medical assessment or treatment for persistent sleep problems.

✨ SELF CARE SOUNDBATH ✨
🌙 Tree of Life, Malahide
Saturday 5th September | 7.30–9pm

As September arrives, the pace of life can begin to change again…
School routines return, calendars fill, evenings become a little shorter and we start to feel the gentle pull towards the busier months ahead. 🍂

Before you get swept back into the rhythm of routines, give yourself permission to slow down.

Come and spend an evening wrapped in warmth, candlelight, sound and vibration — a beautiful opportunity to pause, breathe and simply be.

As you settle into the cosy candlelit space, allow the gentle sound of the rainstick to wash over you like soft autumn rain. 🌧️

The rich, grounding tones of Tibetan singing bowls will surround you in layers of soothing vibration, while delicate chimes drift through the space like a gentle breeze.

The pure, resonant tones of the Solfeggio pipes and tuning forks will create moments of stillness and spaciousness, while the deep, earthy pulse of the shamanic drum invites you to connect with your breath and body.

And then, beneath it all, the beautiful resonance of the gong — deep, expansive and immersive — allowing the sound to move around you and gently carry you away from the noise of everyday life.

🕯️ Candlelight. Sound. Vibration. Stillness.

A space to put down the mental load.
A space to soften.
A space to rest and receive.
A space that belongs entirely to you.

As we move towards the darker, slower months of the year, let September be a reminder that self-care doesn't have to wait until you're exhausted.

Come exactly as you are.
Bring your blanket, your pillow and anything that helps you feel comfortable.

✨ SELF CARE SOUNDBATH ✨Balbriggan | Sunday 30th August 6-7.30pm

As August gently begins to draw to a close and the rhythm of autumn starts to return, you’re invited to pause, slow down and give yourself some space to simply be. 🤍

With the busy energy of back-to-school approaching, this is an opportunity to step away from the lists, routines and responsibilities for a little while and come back to yourself.

Allow yourself to settle onto your mat, wrapped in the warmth of blankets, and let the sounds gently surround you.

The deep, grounding tones of Tibetan singing bowls will wash over you, while delicate chimes shimmer through the space like a soft autumn breeze. The gentle movement of the rainstick can evoke the soothing rhythm of rainfall, while the earthy pulse of the shamanic drum offers a steady, grounding heartbeat.

The beautiful resonance of the monochord creates layers of soothing sound, while the rich, enveloping tones of the gong can fill the space and invite you into deeper rest. Tuning forks add delicate, pure frequencies, creating a deeply immersive soundscape for relaxation and reflection.

There is nowhere you need to be.Nothing you need to achieve.Nothing you need to fix.

Just an invitation to breathe, soften and listen.

🌿 As summer comes to an end, give yourself permission to slow down before autumn gathers pace.

Come exactly as you are and take this time for yourself.

🔬 REFLEXOLOGY RESEARCH | 2025

A randomized clinical trial has explored the effects of foot reflexology on pain and anxiety in people with leukaemia undergoing bone marrow aspiration.

The study included 68 participants who completed the trial. Those in the reflexology group received one 30-minute foot reflexology session, while the control group received routine care.

What did the researchers find?

Following the intervention, people who received reflexology experienced significantly lower anxiety compared with those receiving routine care alone.

Importantly, pain experienced during and after the bone marrow aspiration procedure was also significantly lower in the reflexology group.

The researchers additionally monitored physiological measures including blood pressure, pulse and oxygen saturation. While some changes were observed, the clearest findings of the study were the reductions in pain and anxiety.

The authors concluded that foot reflexology may be a valuable non-invasive, supportive approach for helping manage procedural pain and anxiety in people undergoing bone marrow aspiration.

This is particularly interesting for the reflexology profession. Even a single 30-minute session was associated with measurable differences in this clinical setting, adding to the developing evidence around the potential role of reflexology within supportive and integrative healthcare.

While the findings are encouraging, this is one clinical trial in a specific patient population. Further high-quality research is needed to establish how broadly these findings can be applied.

As always, reflexology is a complementary therapy and does not replace appropriate medical treatment or cancer care.
