Reflex'O Papillon

✨ **Some sessions stay with you.** ✨

One of the things I love most about my work is that no two sessions are ever the same.

Last week, I had one of those sessions I know I will remember for a long time. 💜

A lovely mum came to see me for foot reflexology for her two boys, aged 8 and 11.

I’ll admit, I was a little apprehensive beforehand. Being four of us in my treatment room at the same time was a first for me! 😅 I wondered how it would work and whether everyone would feel comfortable.

But it turned out to be such a lovely experience.

I made sure the boys felt at ease, taking the time to explain things, chat with them and create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. And they settled beautifully. 🦶🦶

But what touched me most was the relationship between this mum and her children.

She was so gentle and attentive. Full of love and care. Holding her son’s hand during his treatment, checking that they were comfortable and simply being there for them.

It was such a beautiful thing to witness. 💜

And it reminded me that my work is about so much more than reflexology.

Of course, I love the treatments, the techniques, the learning and everything I can offer to my clients. But one of the greatest privileges of being a reflexologist is the people I meet along the way.

Every client brings their own story, personality, energy and little glimpse into their world. Sometimes you share a treatment. Sometimes you share a conversation. And sometimes, you simply get to witness a beautiful human moment.

I feel incredibly lucky that my work allows me to meet so many different people and to be, even for a short while, part of their lives. 🌸🦋

This is the human side of my work — and it is one of the things I treasure most. 💜✨

🔬 NEW REFLEXOLOGY RESEARCH | 2026

New research published in Pain Management Nursing has explored the effect of foot reflexology on neuropathic pain in women with Type 2 diabetes.

The randomized controlled trial included 65 women with Type 2 diabetes and neuropathic pain. The intervention group received routine treatment alongside foot reflexology, while the control group received routine treatment alone.

Participants receiving reflexology completed 12 sessions over six weeks.

What did the researchers find?

After the six-week treatment period, the women who received reflexology reported significantly less nerve pain than those receiving routine care alone. The researchers measured pain in three different recognised ways, and all three showed improvement.

The researchers also reported reductions in neuropathic symptoms including burning, tingling, numbness and itching. No intervention-related adverse events were reported.

The authors concluded that foot reflexology may be a valuable complementary addition to routine care for neuropathic pain in people with diabetes.

Research such as this is an important contribution to the growing evidence base for reflexology profession.
