A woman in her late 30’s came for a treatment. She was a tired and overworked single mother. She needed a time-out to relax and unwind and move her body from depleted to sustained.
She received a 60-minute session, half Foot Reflex Massage and half Indian Head Massage. With her job, this woman was standing for 12 hours per day. There are 7,200 nerve endings in each foot and by working on the feet, the body is relaxed through the nervous system. The Indian Head Massage works by relaxing the muscles and nervous system in the upper back, upper arms, neck and head. Often people hold a lot of tension in the shoulders and neck and this massage helps release that. After the treatment, she was feeling very relaxed and felt like a weight was lifted from her shoulders. She was looking forward to going home and having a good nights sleep.

A 46-year old woman was feeling disconnected, despairing and needed to be patient while a situation her family was going through resolved itself.
Through the consultation, she said that she wanted to try Indian Head Massage and Foot Reflex Massage. This would balance her nervous system so she would feel more attuned to her centre of power and well-being. From here, she would then be able to focus on the steps needed for a successful resolution of her family’s situation. She came three times over the course of a year. Each session helped her feel more balanced and resilient in the face of stressors. The sessions revitalised her so she could keep going.

A 37-year old mother of two was feeling physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted while going through a big life change. She wanted to feel balanced and restored to a normal level of energy again.
She wasn’t sure which treatment she wanted, so I gave her 60-minute session of Indian Head Massage, Foot Reflex Massage and Reiki. This worked out at about 20 minutes of each one. The main aim of the session was to relax the nervous system. When someone feels depleted, the first thing to do is relax the nervous system. When the nervous system is overworked from dealing with too much stimulation from too many places, it’s important to get it back to balance. After the session, she felt brilliant. Her face was completely relaxed. Her body and mind had been unwound from the tight ball of tension to a place of balance. Find out how I can help you manage stress, anxiety and overwhelm
Stress is one of the major health problems in Western society today. It is responsible for many of our illnesses and any illness where stress is also present will be more difficult to treat.
Stress is defined as a negative differential between a series of demands and ability to cope with them. We each have a personal comfort level, which may vary from day to day. Everyone thrives and feels comfortable withing this personal level, but placed outside of one’s comfort zone, stress will manifest quickly. It is important to realise that not all stress is bad, in face a certain amount of stress is functional to maintaining optimal health. Foot Reflex Massage helps to relax the body’s nervous system, calming the stress response and allowing the relaxation response to engage, helping the body recover from the effects of stress. From the place of relaxation, the mind is clearer and more focused. There is more space in the body once tension is release, creating more movement and flexibility.

In Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), the normally rhythmic muscular contractions of the digestive tract become irregular and uncoordinated. Irritable bowel syndrome is characterised by a combination of abdominal pain, altered bowel function – constipation or diarrhoea, hypersecretion of colonic mucus, dyspeptic symptoms (flatulence, nausea, anorexia), varying degrees of anxiety or depression. Irritable bowel syndrome has symptoms similar to other disorders and it’s important to visit your doctor for an accurate diagnosis.
Three factors seem to affect irritable bowel syndrome. First colonic motor activity is abnormally high in patients with colonic pain, for example, after meals or emotional stress. Second, many patients with irritable bowel disease exhibit colonic symptoms at times of stress. It is very associated with a nervous disorder and anxiety. Third, irritable bowel syndrome has been linked to certain foods. A food sensitivity test is advised. Foot reflex massage helps to relax the body and mind, helping to reduce the effects of anxiety and stress on the body and digestive system. The gentle foot reflex massage helps to manage emotional stress. To book a Foot Reflex Massage session, contact Tracy on 086-2202734. Find out how I can help you manage stress, anxiety and overwhelm
8/10/2018 0 Comments Foot Reflex MassageFoot Reflex Massage is the type of foot massage I’m trained in. It was created by Christine Courtney of Obus School of Holistic Therapies in Leixlip, Co. Kildare. It’s a combination of Swiss Reflex Massage and Traditional Chinese Medicine using the meridians of the body. Christine has found Foot Reflex Massage to be a very successful treatment, bringing relieve from stress, aches and pains and other problems.
I loved learning the Foot Reflex Massage because it fits in with my theory that a gentle massage is vitally important as it activates the body’s parasympathetic nervous system. This aspect of our nervous system deals with regeneration, recharging, healing and growth. It’s the aspect that improves digestion and helps release tension from the body. If there was a knot in a piece of rope, we wouldn’t try and take it out deeply or roughly. A knot is gently teased out of a piece of rope. I believe that we need to treat our bodies just as gently and tease out the knots and tension so the parasympathetic nervous system can be activated. When we’re busy and going about our day and dealing with trauma, it’s the sympathetic nervous system that’s activated. It is so important to take breaks from this by effectively activating the parasympathetic nervous system. The Foot Reflex Massage is available as part of my Tranquil Treatments Services: - Indian Head Massage with Reiki - Reiki and Foot Massage - Foot Massage and Indian Head Massage - Reiki A Tranquil Treatment hour is just €50 Appointment Times: Mon: 12pm Mon: 2:30pm Mon: 8:15pm Tue: 10am Tue: 11:30am Tue: 2pm Tue: 3:30pm Tue: 8:15pm Thurs: 2pm Thurs: 3:30pm Thurs: 8:15pm Visit www.relaxfromstress.ie to book or contact Tracy on 086-2202734 Clients often ask me how often they should come for a treatment. It's a difficult question to answer because it is unique to each client. They are the only ones who can decide that. These three questions can help them decide.
What are you coming in for? What is your budget? How open is your schedule? If you are coming for pain management, sleep problems, or coping with on-going stress then weekly is a good routine to get into. Many people are looking to maintain good health and so come weekly or fortnightly, but usually come less often. Each of my clients have a different budget. Some can afford to come weekly while others can afford monthly treatments or less often. Most of my clients are looking to come back into balance, and worrying about paying for regular treatments may undo the benefits of the treatment! I do offer treatment bundles that can help clients save by paying for three treatments upfront. What is your schedule like? Can you manage weekly sessions, or would monthly sessions be easier? Work and family commitments mean that th3 time available to come for treatments can be limited. So it's important to see what time you have available and make a decision about how frequently you can get a treatment So as you can see, there are a lot of unique considerations to be taken into account for each person when they're booking treatments. It's a decision to be made by clients rather than me the therapist! Best wishes Tracy Fitzgerald
