Julie Duriez Wellness Reflexology to restore balance, manage anxiety, reduce pain. So much more than just a foot massage. Why holistic therapies?

Ayurveda to help you to take control of your own health & well-being, to heal your body naturally, enabling you to live a longer, happier, healthier life. Welcome to my business, I created Lavender Tree Therapies in 2018 as I began my journey into holistic therapies. As I ventured into new learning it didn't quite encompass all my business had become and so Julie Duriez Wellness was born. Well bec

ause it has been holistic treatments that have helped me heal when my health and well-being hasn't been what it should be. Whilst working as an EMT (Emergency medical technician) I injured my back and it was acupuncture, McTimoney and reflexology that helped me heal. Whilst pharmaceutical medicine kept the pain at pay it didn't allow me a quality of life. Sadly, I had to retire from the job I loved but I found a way to be able to manage my injury without filling my body with pills. Fast forward a few years and I once again found myself in a place where my health was affecting my quality of life. Again pharmaceuticals weren't bringing me healing, they just managed the symptoms and they didn't even do that very well. During this time I was introduced to essential oils and I am so grateful. Using the oils not only brought me freedom in my own health and well-being issues but I saw it dramatically impacting family around me. This started me on a journey deeper into holistic health, firstly as a Wellness Advocate with doTERRA before then fulfilling a dream to train as a reflexologist. Fascinated by the body from my time as an EMT, both the complexity of it and yet the simplicity also. And feet, who would have thought they could hold a key to supporting your body in such an incredible way! In 2021 I added AromaTouch which combines essential oils, acupressure and light massage for a deeply relaxing treatment. Closely followed with training in Swedish massage, sadly my back doesn't allow me to fully practice in massage.

2024 saw me commence on a diploma course in Ayurvedic medicine allowing me to combine the touch therapies with wellness coaching, graduating in 2026. 2026 has also seen me add facial reflexology alongside the feet, this is such a powerful treatment for resetting the nervous system. Your body has an inbuilt ability to heal itself, my role is to enable you to take control of your wellbeing by giving you access to the right tools to facilitate this.

There is a worrying trend amongst therapists to call themselves ‘clinical reflexologists’. However, reflexologists are not clinical they are holistic.

We receive no clinical training and are therefore not able to diagnose. We do, however, pick up on changes within the feet when treating our clients regularly. This can sometimes allow us to advise clients to seek medical advice around regular congestion, tenderness or imbalances we may have detected.

Some reflexologists may have gained further training that allows them to offer additional advice or support. For instance I have a medical background from my time with the ambulance service as an emergency medical technician. There are plenty of nurses who have retrained as a reflexologist.

We have often gone on to do further holistic training, for myself I am an Ayurvedic clinician, for others they may have studied homeopathy or naturopathic medicine.

But reflexology in and on its own is not clinical and we cannot diagnose.

So reflexology is just a foot massage, right!

Absolutely not! It is so much more than a foot massage although your 👣 will leave feeling like that is exactly what you have had.

Sadly feet are often forgotten and neglected despite the fact that during your lifetime they will take you around the earth the equivalent of 3 or 4 times.

But your 👣 feet are so much more important than you think

In fact your feet are lymphatic powerhouses, silently working to detox your body, regulate inflammation, and support immune function—all while you walk, stand, or even wiggle your toes.

And reflexology takes that to another level. By stimulating the reflex points on your feet I am working that lymphatic system encouraging your body to detox, I am stimulating over 7,000 nerves that communicate with the rest of your body relaying important messages. And I am encouraging improved blood flow to the whole body not just the feet.

Is it time you gave your feet more attention?

Too tired to sleep!

Do you get to bed exhausted and then find you just can’t fall asleep?

Chances are you are running on too much cortisol.

Do you spend your day with your foot on the gas pedal, chasing from task to task, an overflowing inbox, the constant noise of messages pinging on your phone, and all the other demands and distractions of 21st century living?

Your body is exhausted from all the stimulation but unable to switch off due to the high levels of cortisol.

Coming for a reflexology treatment, whether on your face or your feet, is like putting on the brakes, stopping the car and going for a walk in nature. It quietens your nervous system down and sends a message to turn down the cortisol, and finally you can relax and begin to sleep better again.

To really see the best impact regular treatments will always bring the most success.

Good sleep is important for your health, it supports
💖 a stronger immune system
💖 lower blood pressure
💖 better energy levels
💖 reduces the risk of dementia

We often may not think about our digestion until something feels "off". Bloating, sluggishness, discomfort, maybe even some very embarrassing gas 🫣. I see this played out regularly on my health questionnaire with clients ticking ‘No’ yet when chatting it’s a different story.

We often assume it’s something we have eaten but did you know there is a connection between the gut and the nervous system.

When we're stressed, our body naturally prioritises survival over digestion. Blood flow is redirected, stress hormones increase, and processes like digestion can slow down or become less efficient. It's one of the reasons many people notice digestive symptoms become worse during busy or stressful periods.

This is where reflexology may help.

Reflexology is a complementary therapy that encourages the body to move into a more relaxed, "rest and digest" state. By supporting nervous system regulation, reflexology may help create the conditions that allow the digestive system to function more effectively.

This is part of the reason your stomach starts making ‘gurgling’ noises during a treatment. For me those little noises tell me your body is relaxing and is certainly nothing to be at all embarrassed about.

Many people also find that regular sessions help them become more aware of the connection between stress, lifestyle, and their digestive health.

Whilst reflexology isn't a treatment for digestive conditions, it can be a valuable addition to a holistic approach to wellbeing alongside a balanced diet, regular movement, good hydration, quality sleep.

Sometimes our gut isn't asking for another supplement or the latest wellness trend, it's just asking us to slow down.

Question is will you be listening?

For those of you have followed me for a while or been a client you will be familiar by now about Ayurveda.

The last 8 years have been a journey of learning about all things natural and holistic. The latest course being a diploma in Ayerveda which has been a fascinating study.

And I am really excited to announce my course is passed, I have my certificate in hand and I am now officially qualified as an Ayurvedic clinician 💖

I’m still on a journey transforming my lifestyle and definitely my diet 🫣 but I am loving the changes and benefits.

I will be offering wellness coaching alongside my current treatments as they work together so well. I will also be offering targeted packages to support specific conditions, so watch this space.

I am also currently putting together a workshop to enable you to explore a little more about Ayurveda which will hopefully go live in September.

In the meantime I am still offering a wellness consultation and package at student rates but not for long.

If you are looking to learn more about living a natural, holistic lifestyle to address your wellbeing I would love to chat. Why not book a free 30 minute enquiry call, link in comments.
