Sometimes we defend a choice simply because we already made it.

We said it out loud.
We told people.
Maybe we even built a whole story around it.

But confidence doesn’t always mean sticking with the original decision.

Sometimes it means being able to say:

That was right for me then. This is right for me now.

I’m talking about this in my new bonus podcast episode, I Changed My Mind. And That’s the Point.

That stubborn tension between your shoulder blades? 🫠

In reflexology, the spinal reflex area runs along the inside medial edge of the foot.

To work the area associated with the upper back, use your thumb to slowly thumb-walk along that section of the inner foot, using comfortable pressure.

Move slowly rather than rubbing back and forth quickly.

If you find an area that feels particularly tender or textured, you can pause there and gently work it for a few breaths.

Pressure should feel comfortable, not painful.

🦶 Try it on both feet, spending about 1-2 mins on each foot and notice what you feel.

Make feeling good a regular thing with a little self care reflexology!

Share this with your bff 👯‍♀️ who also holds nasty tension between her shoulders.

Ever worked your foot and found a spot that feels… crunchy? 👀

Reflexologists sometimes describe these grainy or gritty sensations within the tissues as areas of texture or tenderness that we pay attention to while working the feet.

In my full reflexology practice on Patreon, I show you how to work the reflex areas associated with the upper back and shoulders yourself.

🦶 Want to learn the full technique? Find it inside my Patreon. Search for “TIGHT UPPER BACK & SHOULDERS” via my “PRACTICE ACUPRESSURE/REFLEXOLOGY WITH ME” link in bio.

Stop trying to silence your mind.

It’s not designed for that 😂

But sometimes it does need to be a little more quiet.

Tight upper back + shoulders?
Let me do the work.

Your shoulders are tight.
Your upper back is screaming.

And yes, you could work these reflex points yourself…

Or you could put your feet up and let me do the work. 🦶😉

During reflexology, I work specific reflex areas on the feet as part of a treatment designed to support deep relaxation and help you finally stop holding quite so much tension.

No stretching.
No wellness homework.
No trying to fix yourself.

Just lie back, get comfortable and let someone else take care of you for a change.

Make feeling good a regular thing.

I’ll do the rest. 🦶

Your mind left the room. Bring it back with your breath.

You don’t need to solve everything right now.

Try this instead:

Inhale for 3.
Exhale for 5.

Let the counting give your mind one simple place to land.

Sometimes presence starts with nothing more complicated than following one breath at a time.

Brain Fog? Start Here 👇

You know those days when your brain just isn’t up to par.

In reflexology, the big toe contains reflex areas associated with the head and brain.

This is one of the places I like to work with when I’m feeling foggy and want a little clarity.

I stimulate this point on both big toes for 3-5 mins.

Just your own 2 feet in a few minutes to slow down and give yourself some attention.

Tired… But your brain apparently missed that memo 😵‍💫

You get into bed and you’re totally exhausted. Then suddenly your mind decides now would be an excellent time to review your entire life.

🙄

This is one of the areas I like to work during reflexology treatments with my patients to encourage relaxation and help create that feeling of finally being able to relax.

And yes, you can totally work reflex point on yourself.

But sometimes you don’t want another thing to do.

Sometimes you just wanna lie down, close your eyes and let somebody else take care of you for an hour.

If you’re in Ottawa/Kanata Lakes, and your system could use some serious downtime, come and see me.
