National Volunteer Week ends tomorrow. Whilst I share this special personal post about Ellen below, I want to remind you about the importance of volunteering & it's impact.

I cannot say enough about the difference this makes in the world of well-being.

I have had numerous clients end up with paid employment from volunteering.
Joy, happiness, connection, physical activity & many more elements are gains from volunteering.
It really can change the lens you look through and add immense mental health value.

So I guess I want to celebrate & highlight the benefits and get you thinking how this could be something you or someone you know could benefit from.

Volunteering definitely makes the world go round.

"I want to celebrate Ellen, dear friends' Mum who gives even more beyond this beautiful snapshot here as a Meals On Wheels volunteer of over 20 years. I have known her for over 40 years now and have always been made to feel like a family member.
I hear her passion for what she does and the difference those visits make to often lonely, isolated souls.
Generosity, kindness and understanding are just some of her core values. She really is a shining star.
Could you brighten someone's day?
If you don't know what to do with your time, volunteer. There are no end of opportunities & support via Volunteering Canterbury."

I love Toko-pa Turner 's wisdom.

Many of you will reflect more as you embrace the months of greater rest, of indoor warmth.

Book a spot to look forward to with a dash of peace and hear your own wisdom whispering. Maybe 'the way' will be a little gentler or unfold unexpectedly.

“I’ve been thinking about broken patterns. How when a person’s story becomes disorganized, how it can bring us to our knees. How we can feel out of the flow of life itself, as if such a thing were possible.

I’ve been asking myself for the last few years in isolation what can put such a person back on the way. And while I continue to explore the dimensions of this question, I think finding the thread of your own story always begins with whatever hardship you’re enduring.

Rumi says, “As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.” I understand this wisdom not in the sense of pushing ourselves into motion, but more like relinquishing the notion that there’s anything but the way.

We had a big wind storm last night and it blew the last of the leaves off their branches, leaving the world exposed and chilly today. The sun is low and emboldened with clarity, glinting sharply off the river. Thousands of geese sweep in loose v’s across the sky heading south, their white throats filled with the song of insistence.

Maybe not being on the way is also the way. Your divorce, your grief, your loss of imagination, your wretched illness, your ebbing relevance, your falling out of formation. These are all the way to the way.” - Toko-pa Turner (toko-pa.com)

A treatment fit for royalty - yes you! 👑

👑 A Royal Touch: King Charles III & His Love for Reflexology 👣

Did you know that King Charles III is a long-time advocate for complementary therapies, including Reflexology?

Throughout his life, His Majesty has been a passionate supporter of integrated healthcare, recognising that looking after our well-being goes beyond just treating symptoms—it’s about supporting the whole person.

As Reflexologists, we know the profound impact this practice can have on stress relief, circulation, and overall balance. It is wonderful to see such a high-profile champion highlighting the value of complementary and holistic therapies!

Whether you are navigating a schedule as busy as a monarch's or simply looking to restore some inner harmony, a professional reflexology session offers the perfect opportunity to hit pause and ground yourself.

Love your thyroid - book in for some balancing reflexology! Shell@Reflexable

🦋 Happy World Thyroid Day! 🦋

Did you know that your thyroid gland acts as the body's central metabolic control room?

This small, butterfly-shaped gland produces hormones that influence almost every single cell in your body. Its main job is to regulate your metabolism—the rate at which your cells convert nutrients from food into energy.

When the thyroid gland becomes imbalanced, it generally goes one of two ways:
🐢 Hypothyroidism: An underactive thyroid that slows the body’s functions down, often causing fatigue and sluggishness.
🐆 Hyperthyroidism: An overactive thyroid that speeds functions up, leaving you feeling overstimulated or anxious.

How can Reflexology help an imbalanced thyroid?

While Reflexology doesn’t cure thyroid conditions, it is a powerful holistic support tool. By working specific reflex points on the feet—like the thyroid, pituitary "master gland," and the adrenals—we aim to:
👣Calm the nervous system and lower stress hormones (which directly impact thyroid function)
👣Support healthy circulation and hormone distribution
👣Help manage systemic symptoms like fatigue, poor sleep, and sluggish digestion

Whether you are managing a diagnosed condition or simply looking to bring your endocrine system back into harmony, your feet are a beautiful place to start.

Reach out to your local Reflexologist to find out how they can support your wellbeing.
