Hormonal changes can affect far more than the reproductive system alone. Shifts in oestrogen and progesterone influence the nervous system, sleep, mood, skin health, energy levels and emotional resilience, often over many years, not just during menopause itself.

Menopause Reflexology works gently to support circulation, nervous system regulation and hormonal communication. While the primary focus is wellbeing and symptom relief, many women also notice they feel brighter, more rested and more at ease in their bodies.

What makes this treatment different is its whole-body method - working with the face, hands and feet to harmonise the endocrine system, support hormonal balance, calm the nervous system and reduce stress. Rather than addressing symptoms in isolation, the treatment supports the body as an interconnected system - physically, emotionally and energetically.

Reflexology does not aim to override your body or fix menopause. It works alongside the body’s natural processes, offering steady, holistic support through change. It can be enjoyed on its own or as a supportive series, and can be safely combined with medical care or HRT if that is part of your journey.

Reflexology involves applying precise, intentional pressure to reflex points that correspond with organs and systems throughout the body. In Menopause Reflexology, particular attention is given to reflexes linked to the hormonal and stress-response systems, including those associated with the hypothalamus, pituitary and thymus. These systems play a central role in hormone regulation, sleep and emotional balance.

By supporting nervous system regulation and reducing the stress response, the body is better able to adapt to hormonal fluctuations, often leading to a gradual easing of symptoms and improved day-to-day wellbeing.

The Menopause Reflexology series were developed through specialist training with the London School of Reflexology, and draw on the principles of the Bergman Method.

No two sessions are the same, because no two people are the same, and no two days are either. While the method provides the therapeutic foundation, how I work within a session is always responsive and intuitive. I tune into what your body is communicating and allow that to guide the treatment rather than following a fixed sequence. Some sessions call for slower, more meditative work; others for more focused therapeutic attention on specific areas or systems.

Where it feels appropriate, I may draw on my background in Reiki and energy work to support what the body is processing. This is never imposed, it is simply available and offered with sensitivity to where you are on the day.

The result is a session that meets you exactly where you are, not where you were last week, or where you think you should be.No two sessions are the same, because no two people are the same, and no two days are either.

Your session begins with time to discuss how menopause is affecting you personally - your symptoms, energy levels and any areas of concern. The treatment is then tailored accordingly, using a considered blend of facial, hand and foot reflexology.

You’ll remain comfortably clothed, removing only shoes and socks, and I recommend wearing loose clothing with a neckline that allows access to the neck area. Warm towels are used for the face, and a warming foot soak is included to support grounding and relaxation.

Sessions are unhurried and restorative, allowing space for the body and nervous system to respond naturally. Many women leave feeling calmer, steadier and better resourced to meet the demands of daily life.

Where appropriate, I may also share simple hand reflexology techniques or gentle self-care suggestions to support you between sessions.
