Simple yet profound advice from Barbara Scott of the Association of Reproductive Reflexologists 🥰

x Karen x

Everyone tells you to reduce your stress when you're trying for a baby.

"It will happen, if you stop being so stressed".

But how on earth do you do that when you're going through fertility issues? It's all consuming, and highly emotive.

Barbara Scott, our chair says "Fertility issues are stressful, and it's really hard to think of anything else. I advise my clients to immerse themselves in an activity that's all consuming. Anything from knitting to kayaking! Find something that occupies your brain completely. That in turn will relieve your stress, and give your brain something else so focus on."

It could be something new to learn or an activity that you love but haven't done in a while. Giving your brain a break by doing something else all consuming will bring down your stress levels.

It’s not an epic photo, but it was a moment I just had to snap. 📸

🙆🏼‍♀️ Me in my favourite spot on the floor doing morning stretches.

😼 Our cat in her favourite spot on the back of the couch surveying the view of our neighbourhood in one direction, and me in the other.

I’m not sure if her expression is due to the bright sunlight, or the fact that humans make stretching look so much more difficult than cats do. 😂

A couple of photos of one of my groups of Diploma in Reflexology students hard at work today, researching and compiling a mini study. 💻🙇🏻‍♀️📑

I love the ‘concentration’ on their faces!

The aim of this activity is to help them to develop advanced knowledge and understanding of disease processes and disorders affecting the body systems, and to apply this knowledge safely and effectively within reflexology practice.

They topics they explored are:
🔹Fibromyalgia
🔹Menopause
🔹Insomnia
🔹Anxiety
🔹Chronic Lower Back Pain

Remember, we NEVER diagnose or treat a disorder, but this knowledge is key to helping us formulate appropriate reflexology support plans.

As a Reflexologist our job is not only about the ‘hands on’ aspect, it’s also about our attitude and our words.

The work we do with our hands speaks for itself. Back that with a caring, compassionate attitude and kind words and we provide the whole package.

From experience I say this ...

Just sometimes, our clients are in such a dismal place, that our task isn’t to make them feel better, it’s simply to make sure they don’t leave feeling worse.

And yet over time that too helps them to feel better! 🩷

Business meeting … with Me! ☕️

Even though it’s almost half way through 2026 and the gold embossed numbers on my diary are rubbing off, there is always something to do and plenty to refresh when you are self employed.

And it’s all fun!! ❤️

Conversations occur organically in the Reflexology environment. They are client lead and client focused. 💬

So, amidst the conversation that we were having today one of my clients created this mantra to help her ditch old patterns of behaviour. ✨✨

Her words …. “I will make decisions today that my body and I will still like tomorrow.”

When she looked at it, from this perspective, she came to the realisation that the goals she has for herself, and the vision of a different version of herself that she has, are actually achievable.

Just thought this may resonate with you, and motivate you in some way too. ❤️

So what if it’s weekend! 😉

There’s no need to put a restriction on creativity when you’re self employed. 💻❤️

I am having heaps of fun hatching some new online learning opportunities for qualified reflexologists.

Plus some small courses for general wellbeing support for anyone who is interested, for themselves and their family.

Please keep an eye out for these!
