Radio and TV presenter Kirsty Young shares her experiences of Reflexology during an interview about her Fibromyalgia diagnosis.

What is it like to be a Reflexologist?

What Am I Looking For When Giving Reflexology?

I look atthe shape of your feet, length of your toes against each other, the temperature, any markings, I feel for any gritty sensations around the reflex points.

Sagging Skin is an inevitable sign of our ageing process.

Sleep is one of the pillars to supporting our health and wellbeing.

By sleeping well we give our bodies its optimal chance to rest, recharge, repair and renew our bodies cells and tissues including skin, blood and brain cells and also muscles.

However during the menopause, our sleep can become disrupted due to our hormonal changes or blood sugar crashes.We may also feel like we have slept well through the night but still wake up feeling lack lustre and depleted of energy.

I created the three pillars of radiance to support midlife women.

The women who are overwhelmed, fatigued and don’t recognise themselves anymore.

They maybe feeling slightly sensitive to those around them, struggle to regulate their emotions and might even live in their heads a bit too much?

This is true.

If you think you're meditating wrong, you are actually doing it right.

I hear this all the time.

"I can't meditate""I can't focus""I start thinking about my shopping list""My mind wanders""It's not working""I'll never be able to relax enough".

Do you recognise any of those thoughts?

When you hear the word 'Wellbeing' does it bring image of walks on sandy beaches, glowing green woodland and fields to you? Perhaps even Yoga retreats and sunsets or rises?

Or does sound like an unreachable goal that you never seem to get to grips with.

I looked for the definition of wellbeing. The words that came back were comfort, health, happiness and prosperity.

I have realised from treating many reflexology clients that wellbeing means something different to each person.

Trauma can come about in many ways.  It can be the result of being involved in an accident, having gone through a major medical procedure, a sudden, dramatic change in your personal or working life. It can also come upon you unexpectedly.  Perhaps current circumstances in your life have triggered past painful memories bringing the feeling of trauma to the surface.

It’s a fact that menopause can have a detrimental effect to our skin health

Oestrogen is the hormone responsible for making you feel energetic and vibrant, helping you to maintain healthy skin, hair and enable you to feel clear headed and focus.

Cold water!  The thought of immersing your body in it makes most people shudder!

But did you know that cold water bathing has regained popularity over a recent years?

It’s a fact; we all need a good nights sleep and you will regularly hear me say “Sleep is the best remedy”.

Sleep patterns can be disrupted for many reasons including stress, depression, side effects of medication, pain or indigestion.

Lack of sleep can lead to weight gain, poor concentration, greater risk of heart disease and stroke, hormone imbalances, mood swings  and depression.
