Menopause Support
Hi, I'm Emma from Stroud, Gloucestershire.

I support women through their menopause journey with reflexology, facials, aromatherapy & Lymphatic Drainage massage to reduce stress, restore balance, and help them feel like themselves again.

Your body tells a story.

Through your feet.
Through your face.
And during menopause, sometimes that story starts to change.

Maybe your feet are telling you that you're carrying more stress than you realise.

Maybe your face is showing the signs of sleepless nights, hormonal changes, tension and simply doing too much.

But what if we stopped seeing these changes as something to fight against… and started listening to what our body is telling us?

Your feet can tell a story through reflexology.

Your face can tell a story through the changes you notice — puffiness, tension, dry skin, jowls, lines and that feeling of “I don't quite look like me.”
And menopause can be a time when your body is asking you to pause, listen and care for yourself differently.

That's where I come in.

Through reflexology, facial treatments, lymphatic techniques, gua sha and gentle aromatherapy, I want to help you press that little pause button.

Because your body isn't working against you.
It's communicating with you.

And perhaps it's time to listen.

Menopause Awareness Month.

Menopause will affect every woman, but we won’t all experience it in the same way.

Alongside support such as HRT, there are also simple things we can look at in everyday life that may help us manage how we feel — what we eat, hydration, sleep, movement, boundaries, community and, importantly, how we manage stress.

I feel relaxation and taking time to listen to our bodies should be much higher on the list.

Because so many women I work with are busy being everything for everyone else. They don’t feel they have time to put themselves first.

Then menopause comes along and suddenly things that once felt easy don’t feel quite so easy.

Your body is changing. Your hormones are fluctuating. Your energy, sleep, skin and emotions can all feel different.

And you may find yourself thinking:
“I just can’t keep going the way I used to.”

Maybe that’s your body asking you to slow down and listen.

I actually think menopause can be a time to stop and ask ourselves:

What do I want from this next chapter?

So many of the women I work with simply want to feel like themselves again — to have the energy to enjoy things, make time for themselves and feel good in their changing bodies.

That’s why I love helping women to understand their body at this time.

Reflexology, aromatherapy, lymphatic drainage and my whole body reset facials help you to stop and help you reset so your body and mind can catch up.

Relaxing Therapies is your little space to pause, breathe, reconnect and look after you.

One of the things I love most about what I do...is creating ✨️

Over the years, I’ve created treatments that aren’t just treatments.

I’ve taken the things I’ve learnt, the things I’ve experienced myself, the women I’ve met along the way and the things I know can make us feel better — and I’ve put my own spin on them.

I was once told:

“You can copy someone, but you can’t copy who they are.”

And I think that’s so true.

Because what I do has evolved over nearly 13 years, and a lot of it has come from simply listening, learning and experiencing things for myself.

That’s why I don’t want to offer you something that feels like it could be found anywhere.

I want you to come into my treatment room and feel my little bit of magic. ✨

The way I combine things.
The little details.
The conversations.
The things I notice.
The things I’ve learnt along the way.

And now, as Relaxing Therapies continues to evolve, I’m bringing even more of me into what I do.

Because I think the best treatments are the ones that come from the heart — not from following what everyone else is doing.

And I hope when you leave my treatment room, you feel the difference.💕

Yesterday I was in Wales chasing dolphins, waterfalls and beautiful valleys, and today I was dressed in sparkles and ready for the Tropic Glammies!

The biggest event of the Tropic year — and this year it was W***y Wonka inspired.

Pure imagination…

And let me tell you, the Christmas gifts this year smell good enough to eat!

I’ve had the most amazing birthday week, filled with some very special memories, and to come home to a day full of Tropic magic was the perfect way to finish it.

Now it’s time to get back to doing what I love…
I’m looking forward to seeing you all on Monday when I’m back in the treatment room. 💕

Dry, itchy, tired or sore eyes... and headaches?

These can all be common symptoms during perimenopause and menopause as hormone levels change.

This acupressure point, often known as Bright Eyes, is traditionally used to help soothe tired, itchy eyes, relieve eye strain, support relaxation and may also help ease tension headaches.

Simply apply gentle pressure to both points for 30–60 seconds while taking slow, deep breaths. It's a quick, calming self-care technique you can try anytime.

The Summer De-Stress Ritual

If you've been feeling like you're constantly on the go, struggling to switch off or putting everyone else's needs before your own, this ritual is your invitation to pause.

Enjoy a soothing Indian Head Massage to ease away built-up tension, followed by Reflexology to encourage deep relaxation and support your body's natural balance.

Your ritual finishes with a refreshing mint foot scrub and nourishing foot treatment, leaving tired feet feeling revived and holiday-ready.

Because sometimes, 45 minutes is all it takes to feel like yourself again.

International Self-Care Day 🤍

What do you do for yourself?

Self-care doesn't have to be complicated or feel like a chore. Often, it's the little things we do consistently that add up and make us feel happier, calmer and more like ourselves.

My skincare routine took me just 4 minutes tonight but it's one of those little rituals that helps me switch off after a busy day. It's something I genuinely love to do, and it always makes me feel good.

If I'm honest, the other things that usually fill my cup – walking, dancing and taking time to move my body – have gone out of the window over the last few weeks.

I've definitely noticed the difference. When you spend your days looking after everyone else, your own body still needs that same love and care.

Today is a little reminder to myself, as much as anyone else, that self-care doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to happen.

Does this resonate with you? What's one small thing you do that helps you feel like yourself again? 💚
