Progressing with the balance work in postural stability classes this week.

Side stepping
Walking on the toes
High knee walking
Tightrope walking forwards… and backwards!

Every week we get more confident and stronger on the feet 😊

Think it looks easy? Have a go yourself!!!

Alas, osteoporosis runs in my family. But, as a positive, this meant I was able to get a DEXA scan to check my current bone density levels.

I’m showing very early signs of bone density loss and so I’m now on a mission to build both bone and muscle strength as I get closer to my 60s.

I’m starting low and slow and combining it with the strength work I teach alongside my existing Pilates and Yoga practices.

I’m also taking it another step further and I’m now training as a level 2 gym instructor. Am I mad?! 🤣 I just want to understand these gym exercises better for myself as well as my clients.

More details to follow but I’ll be taking some time off in December to get the work done.

Feeling lucky I have been so well supported by my GP and that I’m getting stronger every day 😊💪🏻😊.

When I trained as reflexologist, I was taught the importance of working holistically - i.e. don't treat the condition; support the whole person from physical to emotional.

Whilst working solely as a reflexologist, I did this to the best of my ability; supporting clients with flower essences and meditation to help with the emotional aspects along with reflexology to help relax the physical body. Fast forward to today and I work far more holistically than ever. Here is an example of how:

Last year, I met a client who needed support with peripheral neuropathy in their feet. This had been caused by Type 2 diabetes which was being very well managed with diet and medication. However, it was greatly affecting their mobility; causing regular trips with the numbness. It was also causing them frustration because they could no longer walk the long distances they had done for years.

Initially, we started with the fitness; getting the physical body stronger and more aware of balance and placement of the feet when walking. More recently, we have included reflexology; working with a combination of meridian work and reflexology lymphatic drainage technique. My aim here was to work very gently and encourage improved circulation in the feet.

Over time, the client has been able to walk further than they have for a while and their feet have started to feel more normalised. We continue with postural stability exercise on a weekly basis and are now working on extending the frequency of reflexology treatments from twice a month to once a month and evaluating as we go along.

I think this shows that improving health is not always about diet and nutrition. It is multifactoral which is why a holistic approach is so important. It can be related to movement, strength, relaxation, sleep patterns, stress levels, hydration, your general mood on a day to day basis as well as stored trauma from the past.

There is so much more I could add to this list. But the key, for me, is recognising that each and every one of us is unique and therefore no one standard treatment fits all. And that is what I love about health coaching alongside reflexology ... you can cover it all 🙂

More fun in class; this time at my Hognaston postural stabilty session which takes place Wednesday mornings at the village hall.

Each week, I have a different theme in my classes to ensure a full body work out is achieved over a rolling 4-5 week programme. Last week was very much focussed on upper body strength and flexibility. This week, we have been working on foot strength and flexibility; leg strength and progressing from stationary balance work to dynamic (moving) balances.

It takes a bit of practice as well as core and leg strength to be able to walk heel to toe in succession without holding on to the chairs or the wall for support. But we mastered it today at Hognaston 🙂💪🙂

Next week we will be looking at the one leg stand and more dynamic balance moves.

All the private classes I teach are part of Age UK Derby & Derbyshire’s Live Stronger for Longer community class programme. Last week, my Winster class kindly agreed to be filmed and gave their feedback for our marketing team. Knowing how these services support local communities helps the service continue and evolve.

Long may it continue. I love teaching these classes and watching everyone’s confidence grow from strength to strength … literally!.

Blessed to end a busy week with Kirtan last night in Belper… organised by the beautiful Laurie of Sage Yoga Studio.

It’s been a strange week of contrasts… culminating in a celebration of life for one of my clients yesterday which was so moving. But to end the day with Kirtan and a sky so deep with orange was enough to uplift the heart again. There is something very special about singing mantra in a space full of open hearted people full of love for the world.

Keeping that feeling in my own heart as I get ready for a week off and a trip down South for a family wedding.

I’m back in the work saddle Monday 5th October.
🧡😊🧡

A great day learning about Chi Medics essentials; bringing the Chinese meridian system together with reflexology. Looking forward to putting this to good use with my clients next week 😊 👣😊

So much has changed these last few months so sharing my new class and coaching timetable. And, details of more changes to come:

I hope to start a new postural stability class in Bakewell come January 2027 as the new class I started last week has already filled its spaces.

I do have availability in my Hognaston class but that is already close to half full. (I limit class sizes to 14 maximum to ensure I can support everyone fully).

I will now be taking a pause with taking on any new private 1-2-1 clients until 2027. Since launching my health coaching business earlier this year, I have steadily grown my client base; so much so that my diary is now close to full. I will announce more details in January when spaces become available.

Last night I gave a talk to the East Midlands Reflexology Group about diets; intermittent fasting and the weight loss injections currently in use. I have one more presentation coming up in October covering the toxins in household cleaning and cosmetic products. After this, I will be taking a pause from presentations as well. I have a lot of content I want to write and I will announce details in the new year of when I will be ready to share.

Finally, I am treating a few clients with reflexology; but, again, I have reached full capacity on this at present too. How lucky am I??!

So, exciting times. And I truly thank everyone for being so supportive of my new business. If you would like to be added to my waiting list, or are interested in any of the group classes I teach, please reach out and I will happily have a chat with you.

Thank you!!!

SUE 🙂

Yesterday’s new postural stability class at Bakewell was a great success. It’s close to full already 😊

Today is open morning at Hognaston village hall with my new postural stability class starting here next Wednesday (16th) 11am - 12noon.

I keep my class sizes to around 12 people to ensure I can give everyone my best support; developing their strength, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility and movement.

I’m part of Age U.K. Derby & Derbyshire’s approved instructors for their Live Stronger For Longer programme as a level 4 qualified Postural Stability Instructor and Level 5 Health Coach.

Please drop me a message for further details on my classes and private 1-2-1 training.
