Restore Life Reflexology

Hi Friends,
I’ve finally finished! After months of study and 5 practical days, plenty of preparation at the home clinic, I can finally tick the box to learn acupuncture for work.
I’ve met lots of wonderful people on my journey and now I’m going to ask you to continue on with me.

If you’re keen to add acupuncture to your treatments to enhance what we already do - let me know!

I’m also adding auricular acupuncture to my treatment list - its linked to our autonomic nervous system (think of everything your body does that we don’t think about ie heart beats etc)

Looking forward to seeing you all soon! Click the link to book your next treatment here:

Hi Friends!
*Self-care post!*

We are nearly in the middle of the summer break, and I’m not sure about you, but my weeks have been very occupied. I saw this post this morning, and I know I can’t fit everything in, but I would like to think I can do probably 15-20 of them.
How many would you do from this list below?
Take care of yourselves and I hope to see you soon.

Hi Friends!
I am so excited to offer acupuncture from my home clinic. I have been trained for a few weeks and have now been signed off by Kay at the Northumberland Council Environmental Health and Safety Department.

Feel free to direct message me about enhancing your reflexology treatments using super fine needles simultaneously or separately. By adding acupuncture, we can target specific problems and your desired outcome will be achieved much quicker.

Acupuncture may be able to help you if you suffer from stress, anxiety, all-over body pain, hot flushes, addictive Traits, period pain, irregular menstruation, brain fog, lethargy, and bloating.

It will also enhance your relaxation, well-being and focus.

See you all soon.

A wonderful development in the scientific study of reflexology ❤️🙏🥳

Breaking news! Brain Scan Research Confirms Reflexology Affects Multiple Areas of the Brain.
Recent research is building scientific evidence that reflexology creates specific, measurable responses in the brain — and may play a meaningful role in stroke rehabilitation.
Dr. Stefan Posse, a researcher at the University of New Mexico, presented groundbreaking functional MRI (fMRI) findings on the “Neural Pathways of Applied Reflexology” at the International Society for Medical Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) Annual Meeting in Cape Town on May 12, 2026.

The research maps brain activity during foot reflexology to understand what happens in the brain in real time while reflexology was being applied and neurological impact in patients with stroke. Advanced MRI technology was used.

What They Found in Healthy People

Scans revealed distinctly different activation patterns for different reflex areas. Importantly, the brain responses weren’t limited to just the foot area of the brain — multiple regions were activated. One area that consistently responded was the supramarginal gyrus, a part of the brain packed with “mirror neurons,” which are linked to empathy, learning, and body awareness.

For the first time showed reflexology technique applied to different reflexology reflex areas activates different areas and networks of the brain in healthy controls and stroke patients.

What They Found in Stroke Patients

In people who had suffered a stroke, the brain activation looked different — more one-sided — and varied depending on whether the left or right foot was worked. Following the application of reflex stimuli, patients demonstrated increased two-point discrimination and improved sensorimotor function in their hemiplegic hands.

Who Is Behind the Research

The team is led by Dr. Posse and includes well-known reflexology educators Barbara and Kevin Kunz, graduate student Arthur Schoen, and researchers from the University of Minnesota.

What Comes Next

The team is now expanding the study to better understand the timing of brain responses during reflexology and to identify exactly which brain networks are involved in stroke recovery.

Hi Friends,
I have to tell you something.
Today, I went and had a reflexology treatment. It’s been years since I’ve had one and boy oh boy, did I need it.
My eyes closed. My tummy rumbled. My whole body twitched many times. I snored, I snorted and haha, I woke myself up.
I fought to keep my eyes open but I gave into the fact I needed some r&r.

I hope that sounds familiar to you all - I feel so tired now but I know I’m going to feel sooooo good for the rest of the week.
I want to say a big THANK YOU to Beckie at natural_rebalance_reflexology in Chapel Park. Beckie is also an association of reflexology member and is absolutely 10/10.
Looking forward to seeing you again next month!

Lol, a little light hearted on this bank holiday weekend!
Happy days friends! See you soon!

Behind every calm reflexology treatment is a person running a whole empire 💙👣

What people think being a reflexologist is:
• Calm vibes
• Flexible hours
• Foot rubs all day

Reality:
📞 Client messages
📚 CPD courses
📱 Content creation
🧾 Invoices
☕ Surviving on caffeine & passion

To all the reflexologists juggling healing, business, life & late-night admin… this one’s for you 😅

Happy Friday!

Hi Friends!

I am very happy to let you all know that over the last few weeks I have been furthering my study and can soon offer you acupuncture along with reflexology. I have wrapped my head around how to combine these therapies and had a go on Rob last night.
He was very content with me needling him in the arms and legs while I also used Chi-Reflexology to balance all of his Qi (Chi) whilst the needles were enhancing his immune-system and helping his general wellbeing. He was in the deepest state of relaxation.
I can only dream of having this treatment but it can be a reality for you! Imagine boosting a reflexology session with acupuncture, we can do a facial reflexology whilst the needles are in... Or if you prefer, just have the acupuncture. I am so excited to offer this as an add on or a stand alone.
I have a few things to do before I offer this service to you, the main one being a license from the council (of course).
So, in between now and then, if you're interested in boosting your reflexology sessions please get in touch or talk with me about it in our next treatment.
Big thanks to my tutor, Emma at Breeze Academy. She must have acupuncture all the time because she was so calm, collected and patient.

Take care for now and see you all soon!
