The New Approach to Anti-Ageing: Facial Reflexology
When did you last feel calm, fresh faced and glowing ?
Facial reflexology offers not only the wellness benefits of traditional foot reflexology but also a visible softer, smoother appearance to the facial muscles and an improvement in skin tone. It is becoming increasingly popular and many women are using this as a preferred treatment to Botox and fillers. There have been several press releases in recent months endorsing this holistic approach to beauty and wellbeing. Using special reflexology techniques with a healing intent the quality of touch is very important. Trained by Ziggy Bergman, facial reflexologist to many celebrities, I’m able to offer a unique, non invasive, facial treatment. A simplified use of these techniques can be incorporated into your everyday routine.
For full details of the benefits please see my Facial Reflexology page.
Facial reflexology treatments last for an hour and are priced at £40. Please feel free to contact me, as I’m able to offer taster treatments at a reduced price for all bookings made by 31st March 2017.

Heart Awareness
February is National Heart Awareness month. Heart disease is just one heart condition but it is statistically the UK’s biggest killer and is responsible for the deaths of about 1 in 6 men and 1 in 10 women.
Eating a healthy and balanced diet, taking regular exercise and choosing positive lifestyle steps to reduce risk factors, such as high blood pressure are just a few important factors. However, heart disease is complex. Whilst stress is not a direct risk factor it is possible that overtime the effects of continuing stress can impact on our blood pressure and heart, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Learning to manage stress by employing relaxation techniques is becoming increasingly recognised as an effective way of promoting better overall health and wellbeing. Reflexology is just one such technique. Scientific studies show that the relaxation effects of this therapy may be beneficial to heart health by reducing both blood pressure and the hormone cortisol which is produced by the body at times of stress. Elevated cortisol levels are linked to arterial constriction and therefore controlling this stress hormone is key to reducing the risk of heart disease.

NaProTechnology: a unique and effective approach to infertility
I had the pleasure last week of a meeting at Life Fertility Care based in Leamington Spa. Their fertility programme is not widely known so I was interested to find out more.
FertilityCare adopts a scientific based process of investigating gynaecological and reproductive health called NaProTechnology. It is unique in so far as it enables couples to identify and monitor the fertility cycle in a natural and non invasive way. This encourages both partners to be involved which has proved to be hugely beneficial in the process.
The aim is to promote optimum fertility by increasing awareness of certain biological markers throughout each day of the menstrual cycle. These are then recorded and charted. From this any hormonal abnormalities can be addressed and treated.
Like reflexology, the programme is holistic in its approach, looking at the whole person and lifestyle factors when addressing any fertility issues. Most importantly it looks at the possible underlying causes of infertility so that they can be treated. It enhances the chances of conceiving naturally.
To find out more about this viable alternative to IVF, including 5 important infertility facts:
