I am pleased to report that two 'older' mums have now returned for Reflexology.
They both previously achieved a long awaited pregnancy following Fertility and
Reflexology treatment, and are now hoping for a second child.
Reducing Stress Hastens the Healing Process
A recent article by Kevin Rawlinson in The Independent newspaper, on the 10th June 2010,
described the results of research that had been conducted, linking people's level of stress to the
time it took them to recover from injuries.
In essence the research indicated quite clearly that the time to recover from injuries was up to twice
as long in those people suffering from the highest degrees of stress, compared to those participants
with the lowest stress levels..
These results were presented by Professor John Weinman, from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's
College London, to the Cheltenham Science Festival.
Given that Reflexology has long been acknowledged to be beneficial in reducing stress, this is a useful
scientific confirmation of what has to date been practitioners' experience - the link between mental and
physical well-being.

Services to Farnborough Multiple Sclerosis Support Group
Since February 2008 I have been working with members of this group. As well as being of assistance to them
it has also enabled me to broaden my expertise.
The web site for this group can be found at: www.mssupport.org.uk
'Children In Need' Appeal
I offered 'taster' Reflexology sessions in the local shopping mall, with all proceeds being donated to this charity.
It was a very successful day, with many people trying Reflexology for the first time, generating a worthwhile sum
of money for this cause.
The following photograph was taken on the day:
