Wellness from the feet up

In today’s world, stress, anxiety and mental exhaustion are common. Massage and  Reflexology treatments can release  muscle tension, help sleep and offer a natural way to cope with the emotional pressures of modern life.

The rhythmic strokes and touch pressure of a massage help to slow the heart rate and lower blood pressure. This can be especially helpful for anyone experiencing anxiety.

Massage and Reflexology both act as natural mood boosters by increasing the production of feel good neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. These “feel-good” chemicals are often reduced in people experiencing depression, stress, or anxiety. For those battling mood disorders, a regular massage can offer a much-needed emotional lift, improving their overall outlook on life. It may also help to counterbalance the effects of negative emotions, leaving people feeling lighter, more optimistic, and more in control of their emotions.

Reflexology and Massage have both been shown to significantly improve sleep quality, particularly for those with insomnia or stress-related sleep disturbances. 

Emotional stress often manifests physically, leading to poor sleep, tension in certain parts of the body, such as the shoulders, neck, or lower back. Through gentle touch and focused pressure, massage can help release this stored tension. 

Massage therapy is a valuable form of self-care, reminding individuals to prioritise their well-being. In a world where people are often encouraged to push through stress and neglect their own needs, booking a massage session can be a gentle act of self-compassion. Taking the time to nurture your mind and body through massage can foster a greater sense of self-worth and self-love
