Sams treatment of reflexology is a deeply relaxing treat that includes a luxurious foot and lower leg massage with the balancing benefits of reflexology pressure points. Reflexology is a fantastic support for hormonal balancing and digestive issues such as IBS. Alongside planned changes to lifestyle and eating habits, great things can be achieved. Reflexology is Sams go to when shes feeling out of balance in her body. She recommends a course of 4 to 6 sessions to nail any issues and its good to have a top up once or twice a year around the spring and autumn Solstice.
Reflexology is also a wonderful and effective support during fertility treatment and the pregnancy process which Sam specialised with for many years. Helping all sorts of pregnancy issues like Symphesis Pubis Dysfunction.
Sam discovered reflexology as a teenager when a friend practised on her. She was fascinated by how points on the feet could say so much about a persons health...her own health.
When she reached a particularly stressful point in life she turned to reflexology as a support and it truly changed her life. Somehow instinctly she had found her calling as, unbeknown to her, she had a thyroid problem, auto-immune disease called Hashimotos. Reflexology helps relieve stress, balance hormones, move the digestion, clear blockages, stimulates the body's cleansing processes and gives you inside knowledge on nutrition....the key to a better life....

Is a gentle, non-invasive treatment. Its a good idea to wear comfortable loose clothing. A whole session lasts about an hour with a hands on for about 45mins. By listening with skilled hands and awareness, space is created in the clients nervous system leading to a sense of stillness and deep relaxation on all levels. Here, in this place of stillness, your own incredible body finds a way to heal itself from all sorts of symptoms. Sam has had the privilege of being trained by some of the forefront educators in Craniosacral and is constantly topping up her knowledge.
Sam found Craniosacral Therapy at one of those difficult times in life where her body seemed to be forever in pain. Her jaw and neck had become locked through tension and a friend recommended a session. So off Sam went and yes the first session was a bit out there ....but it was an accumulative thing...as is everything in life...once your body understands the treatment ....BOOM... there you go. By treatment 3 the jaw had relaxed and actually Sam had relaxed into the treatment. The lock jaw disappeared but then so other things started to happen...her body, which is hypermobile and all sorts of mis-alinements, allined...hips became even, energy levels upped and a sense of clarity as everything fell into place

Pregnancy is an incredible experience and its also an incredibly personal experience. Sometimes its great and everything goes smoothly and easily and other times its more complicated.

Yoga and meditation are a big part of my life for physical health but also now, more than ever, for mental health and stability.
You could argue that the stability, balance and strength that you acquire in your body then reflects in your mind.
Concentrating on doing the postures in conjunction with your breath gives you focus and allows you to come out of your busy mind and into your body.
Whilst concentrating on this movement and breath and being mindful, you are able to let go of any stresses and go into life from a place of calm. Rather than a state of urgency and stress which can cause bad decisions and reactions.
