My Story........
How did I get here?
The year before my daughter started school was a big turning point in my career, I just knew I did not want to go back to my job in teaching full-time and progress up the ladder. I did know I wanted to learn something new and that I loved supporting the students with their wellbeing, but what options were there?
The idea of working for myself around my children was very appealing, having looked at various courses, I found the Level 5 Reflexology Practitioner course. Having had first-hand experience of reflexology, I was fully aware of its benefits. I truly believe reflexology not only played a huge part in supporting my mental health through a difficult period, it also re-balanced my hormones contributing to the conception of my daughter.
Light bulb moment, this is what I want to do, it was a way I could continue to do the aspect of my job I loved by supporting others to enhance their wellbeing but in a different way! Within a week I had booked on to the course.
It was a tough year studying, working part-time and looking after my family, but it was worth it!! On my last weekend of studying my husband and parents put together my log cabin so I was ready to start my own business and build-up ReFoxology!
Once qualified I continued my 3-days teaching for a year while I built-up clients and tried to figure out how to run my own business. It was tough and I have learnt a lot, social media was definitely not my thing!! But one I am continuously learning about to use effectively for my business.
I knew I wanted to support others with high levels of anxiety as I have seen the affects it has on teenagers so when the Functional Reflex Therapy (FRT) training course was advertised, I signed up and completed in Jan 2020. Since then this has been my focus, this is what I want to be doing, supporting mums and their children who suffer daily from high levels of anxiety to provide them with practical tools to create a more positive and calmer home environment. More recently I have continued my mission to learn more how reflexology can support anxiety by completing Sally Earlam’s Mindful Reflexology course.
This year has been a bit of a strange one, but to continue my support I have adapted my way of working to also include virtual workshops, teaching self-support hand reflexology and mum’s how to use a rainbow relaxation routine on their children.
If you would like to have more of chat about how reflexology or the workshops can work for you or your family, please contact me via phone 07889137168 or email nicola@refoxology.co.uk
I look forward to hearing from you.
