This Sunday is Mother’s Day in the UK. This is my mum. Why not treat your mum to a reflexology treatment in the comfort of her own home. Research has shown that reflexology can support women’s health by reducing the severity and duration of menstrual pain, improve sleep, relieve constipation and improve mood. #reflexology #mothersdaygifts www.simplymereflexology.com

My story
I discovered reflexology when I struggled to fall pregnant. I had just started my IVF journey when a friend suggested I try reflexology. After 5 treatments I was lucky enough to fall pregnant naturally. From that moment I was intrigued to know more about this therapeutic ancient practice. I fell pregnant with my second child very quickly . He was born premature and poorly. This experience further enhanced my beliefs of the benefits of reflexology not just to relieve... my stress but to support my babies well being.
I trained and graduated at The Oxford School of Reflexology and joined the Association of Reflexologists. When my children were young I ran my reflexology business around being a full-time mum, giving me the best of both worlds. Now that my children are older I practice reflexology on weekends and evenings alongside working full time in the corporate world.
As a member of the Association of Reflexologists I abide by their code of conduct and continue to grow and develop my knowledge through CPD training. Feel free to contact me or visit my website www.simplymereflexology.com. #simplymereflexology #reflexology #stressrelief #fertilitysupport

Watching The Oscar highlights tonight reaffirmed that it is ok to be different. Lady Ga Ga, Olivia Coleman, Rami Malek. All slightly eccentric, a minority to some and had to battle growing up against the bullies. You are inspirational and your speeches and performances were from the heart. I wish I had followed my dreams and dared to be different. #oneday #dreams #daretobedifferent. #escapism Bohemian Rhapsody and A star is Born are up there with my top films.

NATIONAL LOVE YOUR PET DAY

February 20th is Love Your Pet Day and it’s a great day to show your love for our little furry friends. Whether you’re a cat lover, a dog lover or any other pet today’s the day to spoil them even more than you normally do and show them how much they mean to your family. Interacting with animals has been shown to decrease levels of cortisol (a stress-related hormone) and lower blood pressure. Other studies have found that animals can reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support, and boost your mood. #simplymereflexology #stressrelief #reflexology

How to do reflexology on your baby
1. Connect: place the palms of your hands on the soles of your baby's feet.
2. Cradle their feet: support both of your baby's feet at the heels in the palms of your hands. Hold them loosely for about 10 seconds while talking to them in a soothing voice.
... 3. Calming hold: place both thumbs gently in the centre of each foot and let them press against you. Rest there for about 10 seconds.
4. Calming the nervous system: gently stroke down on the inside of their foot, from the big toe down to the heel. This is believed to relate to the spine reflex and is thought to be calming for the nervous system.
5. Head reflex: gently push up from the base of each of your baby's toes, to their tips.
6. Digestive reflex: softly massage in clockwise circles on the middle of your baby's feet (where they arch) with your thumb. This area is believed to relate to the parts of the digestive system helpful in release of wind and gas.
7. Repeat this move over the heel area
8. Calming hold: Finally, repeat calming hold (no. 3). As a qualified reflexologist and member of The Association of Reflexologists I can offer you and your baby treatments evenings and weekends in the comfort of your own home. #simplymereflexology #babyreflexology

Reflexology for babies
As with the use of any alternative health treatment on your child, it's important you chat to your doctor or health visitor first.
But, according to Sally Earlam, a maternity specialist reflexologist and a member of the Association of Reflexologists, reflexology can offer significant benefits to babies, particularly those suffering from symptoms of colic (excessive frequent crying in a baby who seems otherwise healthy).
... She says:
"A study from Denmark, (as yet unpublished), suggests that some simple reflexology moves on the feet of your baby may help reduce screaming fits."
While reflexology many not be able to stop a screaming fit once it starts - according to NHS choices, the best thing to do is to pick your baby up and comfort him as soon as possible - Sally says incorporating some simple reflexology techniques into your everyday routine may help reduce episodes of excessive crying.
"Picking a baby up and placing it on your shoulder may be enough to comfort a baby but sometimes it’s not.
In Denmark, researchers looked at the effects of reflexology on screaming fits for babies aged between four and 13 weeks.
Each baby received four reflexology sessions over two weeks, and reflexology proved to be significantly superior to traditional medical treatments such as colic drops.
Nearly half of the babies having reflexology reduced their crying."
