Holistic Reflexology Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Well-being R ejuvenate your body, mind, & spirit Testimonials Book Your Clarity Call Here Reflexology Reflex Lymph Drainage Maternity Reflexology HOLISTIC REFLEXOLOGY Switch off & be pampered allowing feelings of stress & anxiety to melt away . Aid relaxation, improve mood, release tension, reduce stress, improve circulation, enhance sleep & improve wellbeing. What is Reflexology? Reflexology is a complementary therapy that is based on the theory that different points and areas on the feet, lower leg, hands, face and ears correspond with different areas of the body. Reflexology is an ancient therapy which has been practiced for over 5000 years & allows us to cope better with the stresses that life can bring. By applying pressure to specific points on the feet (and sometimes the hands), a professionally trained Reflexologist can detect subtle imbalances, release blockages and restore the flow of energy within the body. The theory is that specific points in the feet and hands (called reflexes) are mirrored in the body and gentle and therapeutic stimulation of these points improves circulation, balances and relaxes the body, evoking a profound sense of relaxation and well-being, reducing stress and tension, two of the major causes of illness today. Simply put, it activates the body’s natural self-healing ability and may be regarded as a positive step towards a healthier lifestyle. Since reflexology is completely non-invasive it is suitable for everyone including children, pregnant women and the elderly. I work intuitively using all my senses when I heal with Reflexology and incorporate mind, body and soul. What Reflexology help with? Reflexologists do not claim to cure, diagnose or prescribe. However, reflexology has been shown to be helpful in the treatment of: Anxiety and stress related conditions. Digestive disorders including IBS and constipation. Headaches and migraine. Hormonal problems including PMT, menopause symptoms and infertility problems. Help ease allergies, asthma and sinusitis. Help ease sleep disorders. Increases energy levels, improve circulation and facilitate the elimination of toxins from the body. Strengthens the immune system to fight off illness. Can help prepare for pregnancy and childbirth. REFLEXOLOGY LYMPH DRAINAGE (RLD) What is Reflexology Lymph Drainage? Reflexology Lymph Drainage is an evidence based, award winning non-invasive therapy which supports lymphoedema sufferers. RLD stimulates the function of the lymphatic system and drains excess lymph from damaged tissue, improving overall well-being in many cases. This therapy has been researched and developed by Sally Kay, a reflexologist in the UK. For further information into the research and Sally Kay's work check out: http://www.reflexologylymphdrainage.co.uk Where might Lymphoedema occur? Lymphoedema may occur: • In the arm after breast cancer treatment if the nodes are removed • In the leg if cancer or its treatment affects the lymph nodes in the groin area or the pelvis. This is most common in prostate cancer, cancer of the womb, cervix or ovary. “Every year, almost 3,400 women and approximately 30 men are diagnosed with breast cancer” (Irish Cancer Society) Due to advances in medical science the number of people surviving Breast Cancer beyond 20 years has risen considerably. • Approximately 20% of the survivors will suffer from Lymphoedema. • It is common for underarm lymph nodes to be removed during breast surgery. • The lymph fluid can no longer be drained from the arm and this can result in tissue swelling and the arm can swell considerably. The swelling may fluctuate through the day and if untreated will usually increase in severity. It can cause aching, a heavy feeling, discomfort, difficulty walking, tight skin, difficulty in movement. • Due to an altered body image after breast cancer many people have very significant psychological and physical side effects ranging from anxiety, stress, loss of confidence and discomfort wearing certain clothing and jewellery. What to expect during RLD treatments? RLD sessions help aid the symptoms associated with lymphoedema. At the initial session, you will complete a health and lifestyle consultation and at the beginning and end of each RLD session, it is possible to take volume measurements of the affected limbs (Arm or Leg) in order to determine volume change. This can help to quantify any changes although is not obligatory. Treatments take place on the feet and clients do NOT need to remove any clothing.

Gentle, holisitc care & deep companionship at the end of life. Soul Midwife, Catherine Connolly of Fern Therapies, Dundoyne Co Meath. Soul Midwife - End of Life Companion Gentle, holistic care & deep companionship at the end of life. What is Soul Midwifery? Soul Midwives offer holistic, non-medical support to anyone facing the end of life, from diagnosis to final breath. We aim to ease anxieties, support deep conversations, and help create a peaceful, loving space for dying. People may be unsure about or confused by the title ‘Soul Midwife’, and I can understand why, I usually describe myself as an End of Life Companion/Practitioner, Soul Midwife, a Companion to the Dying. We are literally ‘midwifing the dying person’, in the same way that a birth Midwife or Doula assists to bring a baby into the world, we help the dying person to make their transition and death as gentle as possible. Other titles for similar roles are ‘End of Life Doula’, ‘Death Doula’, or ‘Soul Doula’. How can I can support you? Deep listening and emotional support End of life planning and legacy work – making memories, celebrating life Gentle touch and energy work – I use a variety of touch therapies and as an aromatherapist I am very drawn to working with the oils on a subtle level. I offer gentle soothing touch as a way of connecting physically and energetically with anyone with whom I am working. Support for family and loved ones Guided meditations and relaxation to soothe mental and emotional anquish. TLC training for family carers Honouring all beliefs and traditions The 12 Principles of Soul Midwifery To work as non-medical holistic companions who guide and support a dying person in order to facilitate a gentle and tranquil death. To support and recognise the individual needs of the dying person and ensure they feel loved and supported. To create and hold a sacred and healing space for the dying person (whether in a hospital, a hospice or at home). To respect and honour a dying person’s religious/spiritual or atheist/agnostic beliefs and practices. To work as non-denominational, multi-faith practitioners who honour the dying person’s beliefs about life, death or the afterlife. To listen, provide gentle therapeutic techniques, and ensure compassionate care at all times. To ‘serve’ our friend; not aim to ‘fix’ or ‘rescue’. To give healing, using sound, touch, colour, scented oils or other gentle techniques to alleviate pain and anxiety. To keep a loving vigil. To work holistically with the spirit and soul of our friends at all levels and stages of transition. To support families and their loved ones, giving loving care with a human touch. To provide comfort, continuous support and reassurance in helping a dying person to experience the death he or she wants. These Principles are the foundation of our work, they are taken directly from the Soul Midwives School website, click here to access the site and see further information about our work. Felicity Warner founder of Soul Midwives says “We use sound, touch, smell and deep listening skills to help the dying achieve a dignified, peaceful and serene death. ” This, to me, is the core of Soul Midwifery. Would You Like to Know More? I’m here to walk beside you. Whether it’s time to talk, or time to plan, I offer a listening ear and loving presence. Reach out to begin the conversation. Get In Touch TLC - Tender Loving Care - offers practical ways to help those at end of life.
