How does the lead up to Christmas make you feel? Happy, excited, overwhelmed, anxious? Discover more how about reflexology and how it can help you get through Christmas!
I love Christmas, it’s the perfect opportunity to meet with family, friends, attend a staff party, exchange gifts, go to the panto, ice-skating, visit Santa, eat lots of nice food and be merry!!
But the lead-up to the big day can be very stressful and overwhelming, deciding on which gifts to buy, how much to spend, where you will be for Christmas, how you will manage to see everyone this year! will there be any turkey’s left!, putting-up the decorations, preparing the food, wrapping the presents, then hiding them somewhere! remembering the cheeky Elf on the Shelf (I tried to avoid this one, but someone bought one for my daughter!!!), sending the letter to Santa on time!!! Then on top of that, SOMEONE MAY TEST POSITIVE FOR COVID!
There is no surprise that by the time Christmas arrives we are exhausted and ready for a duvet day rather than being up at 5am with over excited children!!
So this is why should you have reflexology to help get you through Christmas? Because you will…..
Enjoy an Hour of ‘Me Time’
For 1-whole hour, you can escape from the craziness of Christmas an take a well earned break relaxing in the comfort of my warm and cosy log cabin. This is a time for you to switch off and focus on you! You can choose a treatment on the feet, hands, or a combination as you lay back and sink into the couch you will listen to calming music and smell the gorgeous aroma of essential oils.
Feel Super Relaxed!
If you naturally struggle to relax and unwind, reflexology can help your body and mind to do just that. After around 20-minutes you will have no choice but to allow yourself to relax and ‘in that moment’ forget about the stress of Christmas. During a treatment my aim is to re-balance the body by stimulating all the reflexes of the body’s system’s and organs as they work together. To achieve complete relaxation I pay further attention to the reflexes for the nervous system, hormones and head. Leaving you feeling lighter, less stressed and ready to face your next Christmas Challenge.
Sleep Better!
Sleep deprivation impacts the rest of our day, we need it to stay focused, motivated and keep our emotions at bay! But when we feel we have so much to do, with so little time, its our sleep that takes a hit. Well reflexology is well known for improving sleep! Both getting to sleep and staying asleep. There is a little spot on your big toe/thumb called the pineal, which helps to release the sleep hormone melatonin which will get extra attention!. And before you leave your treatment, I will share self-care tips for a better nights sleep!
This is the feedback I get from clients, ‘I always sleep well after a treatment!’ Why? they are more relaxed, calmer and feel in a better place! So don’t have sleepless nights this Christmas, have reflexology!!
Feel Happier!
Do you need a little boost in your mood to get you through your social events this Christmas? Having reflexology can help you feel happier, using positive touch on the feet/lower legs, hands or forearm can help release the ‘happy hormone’ oxytocin! Oxytocin can also help develop wellbeing feelings and induce calm. So make sure you boost your oxytocin this Christmas and have a happy holiday!
Release Tension!
When we feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed our body becomes tense. You may notice this in your shoulders and neck. We carry the weight of the world here, not only this bad posture from working at home can place a huge strain on your muscles. You may also struggle with more headaches through this tension, or through worry and over thinking. Through reflexology I can target the shoulders, trapezius and neck to release that tension and work out those knots. Plus working the spleen, head and nervous system are can help ease those headaches and clear your mind of those worries. Release your tension this year and enjoy some festive cheer!
