What is the Menopause
The menopause is a normal stage in life and signals the end of our fertile years. It happens when our ovaries start producing less and less of the hormone oestrogen. As a result, the ovaries fail to release an egg every month and we start experiencing menopause symptoms. It is not unusual to experience these symptoms for several years before your periods finally stop. The average age for the onset of the menopause is 51 but it can happen anytime from your 30’s to your 60’s.
If you go into the menopause before you reach 40 years of age, this is known as “Premature Menopause”. “Early Menopause” is when you go into menopause between the ages of 40 and 45.

Reflexology Lymph Drainage
Reflexology Lymph Drainage ?
For the Treatment of Lymphoedema and Lipoedema
Reflexology Lymph Drainage is an award winning reflexology technique, researched and developed by Sally Kay in the UK, whilst working in Cancer Care.
The treatment focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet which in turn encourages the lymphatic system to work in the body. It is a wonderfully relaxing treatment which helps to bring relief to those suffering with Lymphoedema and Lipoedema.
What is Lymphoedema ?
Lymphoedema is a long-term (chronic) condition which causes swelling especially in the arms or legs but can also occur in the chest wall, abdomen, neck and genitals. It develops when the lymph vessels are not able to adequately drain lymph fluid in the affected area, causing it to build up.
Common Causes of Lymphoedema
The most common causes of lymphoedema are from cancer itself and also from cancer surgery and radiation,
It is also a condition that can be inherited, but this is rare.
What is Lipoedema ?
Lipoedema is the abnormal accumulation of fat in the legs, thighs, buttocks and sometimes the arms which can lead to problems with joints and mobility. The cause is unknown but it is thought to be linked to hormones.
Like Lymph Drainage Massage, Reflexology Lymph Drainage can help those also suffering from;
- Eczema
- Fluid Retention
- Chronic Fatigue
- Sinus Issues
- Asthma
- Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Premenstrual Symdrome
- ME
- Headaches/Migraines
- Muscular Tension
- Aches & Pains
How Often Should I have a Treatment ?
You will notice a difference in the swelling after just one treatment. The feeling of heaviness and tension will have subsided. However, receiving 4 to 5 Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage treatments, will show a much better improvement in the area that is affected.
What else can Reflexology Lymph Drainage be used for ?
I have also Reflexology Lymph Drainage for the following …..
💗 Water retention throughout the body
💗 To remove swelling after Egg Retrieval during the IVF Process
💗 To help remove the pain and discomfort after Liposuction
💗 Swollen ankles and calves
💗 To work out toxins in the underarm lymph glands after vaccination

Virtual Fertility Reflexology on the Hands
Virtual Fertility Reflexology on the Hands
60+ minutes – €50
This Fertility Reflexology treatment is ideal for those who for some reason are unable to attend in person for their treatment.
Problems conceiving can be linked to stress, anxiety and hormonal imbalances. These can cause Endometriosis, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, irregular or no menstrual cycle etc. The ability to conceive can also be dependent on factors such as the foods you eat, your lifestyle and your occupation, affecting both parties in the relationship.
My aim with this treatment is to gently re-balance the body bringing emotional and physical harmony and enhancing the body for conception. When we are stressed, our Reproductive, Digestive and Repair functions are paused and don’t work efficiently. When the body is relaxed and de-stressed, energy levels are restored to these areas. Regular Reflexology treatments help to maintain this relaxed state allowing the reproductive hormones to work more effectively by keeping the body in balance. Often when the client relaxes and feels they are actively doing something to help themselves, they get pregnant very quickly.
What does Virtual Fertility Reflexology involve?
Firstly, I will send you a link to join a video call with me. If it is your first time having Fertility Reflexology with me, I will send you a Consultation Form designed to understand what you would like to get from the treatment such as, are you trying to get pregnant naturally or are you currently getting treatment, do you have a diagnosis etc.

Facial Reflexology
Facial Reflexology
So, how would you like a relaxing treatment that will make your skin glow and enhances your health and wellbeing ?? Well, that is what Facial Reflexology can do for you. If you do not like your feet touched, and would like to experience the benefits of Foot Reflexology, then you need to give this luxurious treatment a try.
It was developed by Ziggie Bergman, an award winning Reflexologist in the UK. She is a pioneer in modern Facial Reflexology and her clientele include many supermodels and celebrities.
Like Foot Reflexology, Facial Reflexology is based on Zone Therapy where the face is broken down into zones. When an imbalanced reflex in a particular zone has been resolved, all the reflexes in that zone are positively affected.
The treatment is built on a combination of Native American techniques and Asian body maps, that chart the reflex points on the face. This gentle yet powerful treatment works closer to the brain and the central nervous system, bringing immediate relaxation and stress relief. In fact, most clients fall asleep after the first ten minutes ! Any reflexes out of balance are stimulated to improve the health and well-being of the person being treated. Over time, Facial Reflexology can also help to reduce lines and give your skin a lovely healthy glow.
Daily activities such as eating, talking, frowning and facial expressions can cause tension to build up in our facial muscles which is relieved with Facial Reflexology.
Benefits of Facial Reflexology
Facial Reflexology has some unique benefits for certain conditions such as;
- Sinusitis
- Infertility
- Migraines
- PMT & Hormonal Imbalance
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- IBS & digestive issues
- Bells Palsy
- Sinus
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Tinnitus
- Menopause
The massaging techniques used during this treatment, bring blood and nutrients to the skin, smoothing out lines and improving skin tone. This in turn makes the client feel good and to look their best.
This luxurious treatment is wonderful on its own or in combination with Foot Reflexology, Reiki or Indian Head Massage.
It is important to wait for 3 weeks after having Botox or Fillers so that the treatment doesn’t affect these procedures.

Fertility Reflexology
It is my absolute honour to join you on every step of your journey towards motherhood, and to continue to support you through your pregnancy and as a new mother too.
Specialising in Fertility using and integrative approach of Reflexology, the Fertile Body Method and EFT Tapping
It is difficult discovering you are one of the “one in six couples” who are having difficulties conceiving. Having been there myself, I understand how upsetting this can be. I know the huge emotional and physical stress that couples are under when trying to get pregnant because I’ve been there too.
I believe I have gone through this long journey for a reason. It’s my soul’s purpose to help other couples who find themselves in the same position I was in. I totally understand what you are going through – the highs and the lows. I will support you every step of the way, if you want me to !
Who would benefit from this integrative approach to Fertility ?
Who would believe that this luxurious and pampering Reflexology treatment is amazing for your body, your mind and also your reproductive system ! It is amazing for both women and men. And whilst Fertility Reflexology will work on the physical body, the use of the Fertile Body Method (visualisations) and EFT Tapping are amazing for the emotional body, keeping free from stress and anxiety and fostering a positive attitude on your journey.
Who would benefit from these treatments ?
- Anyone feeling stressed, anxious and overwhelmed with the trying to get pregnant
- For anyone with unexplained fertility issues
- Anyone going through the painful condition of Endometriosis
- Ladies who suffer with Polycystic Ovaries (PCOS)
- For those trying to get back on their feet after miscarriage
- Couples suffering with secondary infertility
- Trying to conceive naturally
- Going through IVF/ICSI etc.
How prevalent are Fertility Issues ?
Well, approximately one third of fertility issues are on the male side, one third on the female side and one third are issues on both sides. You see, conceiving is a very complicated dance between the egg and the sperm. Everything needs to be in order on both the female and male side, for a pregnancy to take place.
Infertility can be linked to stress, anxiety and hormonal imbalances. These can cause Endometriosis, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, irregular or no menstrual cycle etc. Your ability to conceive, for both of you, can also be dependent on factors such as;
- Foods you eat
- Environment
- Lifestyle
- Mindset
- Occupation
Why try my Fertility Treatments ?
Before embarking on the more invasive, stressful and very expensive alternatives, it is worth your while having a course of Fertility Reflexology in conjunction with the Fertile Body Method and EFT Tapping. Your physical body will be gently re-balanced with the Fertility Reflexology whilst boosting and stimulating the reproductive organs and endocrine system. This will also direct blood flow to the reproductive organs.
We’ll also use techniques such as EFT Tapping to relieve stress and anxiety and remove emotional blocks that can be getting in the way of conception.
What has Stress got to do with it ?
Quite often one or other in the couple are stressed and don’t even realise they are. Sometimes we get so used to being stressed that we don’t recognise it when we have it. The fact that you are not getting pregnant month after month will put stress on your body.
When we are stressed, our Reproductive, Digestive and Repair functions are paused as the body prepares for “Fight or Flight”. Reflexology will help to reduce this stress, bringing everything back in to balance and allowing our reproductive organs to work optimally again.
Also, our body’s are amazing. They know that being stressed is not the ideal time to have a baby, so it will not cooperate. The perception of an unsafe environment is enough to disrupt the vital systems required to conceive.
If you are currently struggling with emotions such as fear, anger, grief or anxiety or they are stored in the memories in the body, there will be a struggle to procreate. With EFT Tapping I aim to eliminate these negatively charged events so the body is free to do what it was made to do, and that is, to have a baby.
When the body is relaxed and de-stressed, energy levels are restored to these areas. Regular Reflexology treatments and EFT Tapping will help to maintain this relaxed state, reduce cortisol levels and allow the reproductive hormones to work more effectively. Often when the client relaxes and feels they are actively doing something to help themselves, they get pregnant very quickly.
If all else fails……
Alas, not all fertility issues can be corrected with Reflexology so it may be necessary to visit your GP for a referral for further investigations. If a couple are under 35 and have been trying to conceive for a year with no success, then a visit to their GP is in order. If you are over 35 and have been trying for 6 months with no success, you should pay a visit to your GP also to get things checked out.
If Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) such as IVF, ICSI, IUI, Clomid or FET is required, it is now recommended to have reflexology during this stressful time. I prepare a treatment plan which is tailored to coincide with the treatment you are going through with your Fertility Clinic. This can help to increase the success rate by reducing stress, keeping the body balanced and enhancing your treatment.
On your first session with me, we will need to complete a Fertility Consultation Form which will be updated at each session. I also request that you send me or bring any test reports with you. These will allow me to investigate further and to create a personalised treatment for you.
What else can Reflexology be used for ?
This amazing treatment is also great for helping you at any stage of your life. At puberty it can help teenagers suffering with painful or irregular periods. It is also great for balancing hormones if you are going through the menopause when their are big hormonal swings and hot flushes to contend with.
Your hormones will gently be balanced which will ease your symptoms. Whether you are suffering from PMT, menopause, baby blues and post natal depression, we’ve got you covered.
How often should I get a treatment ?
First of all, it should be remembered that it takes 3 months to produce healthy sperm and one month to produce a healthy egg.
I recommend that you get one treatment a week for the first 2 months and then every 2 weeks for the 3rd month. The treatment is tailored to your cycle and each week will be a different routine. This helps to bring the hormones in to balance.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you include EFT Tapping with your Fertility Reflexology
Because not all fertility issues are physical ones, I recommend an integrative approach to fertility. That is why I have trained and am fully certified in both the Fertile Body Method and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT Tapping). These techniques allow us to explore any mental or emotional blocks that may be getting in the way of you conceiving your baby. You can add these on to your Fertility Reflexology treatment or you can book them as standalone sessions also.

Reflexology
What is Reflexology?
There are many factors in life such as illness, stress, injury, emotions that can create a state of imbalance and disease, but the body has a natural ability to heal itself.
Reflexology is a gentle non-invasive healing therapy which removes blockages and relieves stress whilst encouraging the body to heal itself, at its own pace. It will treat the whole person and not just symptoms that may be present at the time.
Reflexology uses the feet, hands, face and ears as a map of the entire body and has been used as a therapy as far back as 4,000 B.C. in places like China and Egypt.
Some of the conditions which can be treated by Reflexology are;
- Headaches/Migraine
- Back and Chronic Pain
- Insomnia
- Sinusitis, Ear and Throat Issues
- Heart Health including Circulation and Blood Pressure
- Asthma
- Sciatica
- Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Lupus
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Fertility and Menstrual Complications
- Body Detox by purifying the lymphatic system
- Increased Energy Flow
- Proper Organ Function
- Diabetes
- Tinnitus
Courses of treatment vary in length depending on the individual. Long standing problems might require 6-8 sessions with each session lasting around 1 hour. Once the body has regained its balance, an occasional treatment will stimulate the immune system and maintain a sense of
