The vagus nerve is a prime instigator of the parasympathetic nervous state - where all the good stuff happens ❤️

And, isn’t it serendipitous that we can utilise this knowledge in our treatments - even before the treatment begins?

Do you have clients that you feel don’t ’switch off’ til the left foot? Aren’t they missing out?

What if you could flick their switch even before your first thumb-walk?

💫By using a guided diaphragmatic breathing ritual and
💫using a chilled towel at back/sides of neck (around mastoid process area - here’s where the nerve exits)

Stimulates the vagus nerve - hence they are down-regulating even before you start!

A note on guided breathing - it is my experience that unless you ‘noisy breath’ with your client they don’t do it! And, if it gets you into PSNS too all to the good!

As an aside - has anyone tried those small ‘around the neck’ fans? Wondered if that would also help us to keep cool and stimulate our VN.

In this heat how do you clean the feet?

💫hot mitts - heat on feet
💫cold mitts - possibly a shock

Do you give your client a damp towel for behind / sides of neck?

The above is thought to activate the vagus nerve - easing your client into parasympathetic nervous state even before we start the treatment. Cool eh?

What about heat on feet - cool on neck?

💭 Are you an Essex Holistic Therapist?

✨ Then we have something that we're building, just for YOU.

The Essex Holistic Therapists Network

We believe that building a holistic therapy business FOR yourself doesn't mean that you have to be in business BY yourself.

Over the years, one thing has become crystal clear to us as Therapy Business mentors: therapists don’t just need training – they need connection, space to grow, and time to remember why they love what they do.

So we’ve created something new - a safe, supportive space designed to nurture both your personal and professional development, PLUS CPD & Treatment Share days.
This community is all about

Connecting with other therapists who get it
Sharing treatments, techniques, and lived experience
Learning through discussion, reflection, and gentle exploration
Growing your confidence, skills, and sense of belonging
Taking time for you, not just your clients

Our CPD & Treatment Share Days will run every 8 -10 weeks and include
A focused professional discussion theme
Time for treatment swaps and experiential learning
Thought-provoking conversation and shared wisdom
A CPD certificate to support your ongoing professional requirements

Join the Network and receive The Holistic Therapist's Business Checklist
''21 Things Every Thriving Holistic Therapy Business Should Have in Place''

Invitation to join the Private Facebook and WhatsApp group to be notified of CPD events, teachings and virtual classroom learnings

So, a phone call asking for some advice from a student sparked this:-

‘If you’re a multi-skilled therapist do you offer a double treatment?’

The call was regarding a new client (post cancer treatments) now wanting some tlc.

My thoughts were:-

As new to Reflexology we wouldn’t know how her body would respond. Then adding yet another therapy could well overload the body. And, if all was ok post treatment how would we know which had ‘worked’?

However, if a less vulnerable client wanted say, a bns massage due to still neck then flip over for a reflex treatment I see no problem with that.

Which led me to think the different reasons people seek us out!
🌿nurturing tlc
🌿to fix a physical/muscular problem
🌿emotional support
🌿taking responsibility for own health

So, however much it’s nice to do a double-bubble treatment (less washing, less pre- stuff) we really must question the possible outcomes (especially for those most vulnerable). And, it’s especially those people that will reach out for some extended nurturing.

Of course we want to ‘give and help’, (that’s why we came into this profession after all) and a ‘no’ may be hard to say, but an honest explanation and maybe an extended appointment time - not for hands on but for ‘off-load’ may be just the ticket.

FREE Online Masterclass - Because being qualified and building a business are two very different things!

Most complementary therapists enter this industry because they genuinely want to help people. They are caring, intuitive, heart-led individuals who are often far more comfortable supporting others than talking about marketing, pricing, planning or finances.

The problem is… qualification courses teach you how to deliver a treatment, but rarely how to build a business around it.

Many therapists find themselves overwhelmed by the “business side” of things. They don’t know where to start, what they should charge, how to attract clients consistently, or how to create a business that feels professional without losing the heart behind why they started in the first place.

The Therapy Business Blueprint has been designed to bridge that gap.

I would like to invite you to my FREE part 1 workshop on Friday, 22nd 7.30pm

Gurgling tummies? We’ve all heard them!

What if you turn it into a subliminal marketing hook?

Rather than just agreeing with your embarrassed client - let them know why it’s happening and that you take it as a fabulous compliment!

Here’s a thought!

If all past and present students liked each others posts that would lift everyone up the ‘whatever it’s called’ algorithms.

Drop you fb:insta link here and we can all follow, like and comment on each others’ posts.

Gals supporting gals! (Including Malcolm, Graham and Vinnie!)
