I am trained in a reflexology for Menopause by Sally Earlam.
Reflexology is a wonderful therapy for aiding through the journey of menopause, all the stages including perimenopause. Some symptoms can be debilitating such as: hot flushes, night sweats, increased perspiration, headaches, short-term memory loss, mood swings, dizziness, digestive disturbances, sudden weight gain, and irregular periods with heavy bleeding.
Women can experience low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy due to these changes happening to the body.
Reflexology at this time can help with both the physical and emotional symptoms of the menopause without the unwanted side effects with drug based treatments. Or reflexology can work very well along side other treatments. It can also make some of these changes more bearable and relieve the stress and tension that can cause so many side effects.
We must not forget that the menopause is a time for transformation and regeneration and although it may feel like it, it is not an illness. It is a normal, natural process and is a unique journey for every individual. As your reflexologist, I am here to listen and support you, to provide relaxation and ease symptoms. Supporting this journey with reflexology can help restore hormones balance and act like a process of emotional cleansing helping to relieve stress and restore harmony in the body and mind and soul.
For you, it is a time to pause and reframe. During this time other big events maybe occurring such as children flying the nest. You can feel like you are losing your identity. Taking a positive approach, choosing this time to reinvent yourself, making yourself a priority is important. What do you want to be for the next phase of your life?
Wherever your journey takes you, it is encouraged to take into account the “Five Pillars Of Menopause” in addition to support this process.
