Why Facial Reflexology for peri-menopause

Reflexology can help:

• provide much needed stress relief

• support hormonal changes to help bring balance

• allow for much needed self care and 'me time'

• empower women to take back control over their symptoms
  

Why is stress the enemy during the peri-menopause?

Before menopause our bodies are better equipped to buffer stress because we have optimal levels of oestrogen and progesterone. These hormones dampen the effects of the stress hormone cortisol, so when levels of oestrogen and progesterone fall, the levels of cortisol become elevated.

High levels of cortisol can cause

low moods, anxiety, low energy, insomnia, bloating, digestion issues . . . . . . doesn't this sound familiar!

So high levels of cortisol can contribute to many of the issues we experience during the menopause.

All reflexology and relaxing massage treatments and activities such as yoga, meditation and activities out doors such as gardening and walking can all lower stress levels.

However, Facial Reflexology has the added benefit of also improving the tone and appearance of the skin. It also aids lymph drainage so it can reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. So facial reflexology can give you that boost to help you feel good inside and out.

I qualified in the Dien Chan method of Facial Reflexology in May 2017 and in February 2023 I completed a professional development course (accredited by the Association of Reflexologists) in Facial Reflexology for an Empowered Peri-menopause. I am one of only a handful of qualified Facial Reflexologists in the Tees Valley Area. Why not book an appointment and give this unique and specialised form of reflexology a try.
