Barefoot Therapies

Beautiful ☀️❤️

Grateful every morning especially when skies like this appear. How amazing is this

Who knew that a newly tarmacadam could be so exciting. Thank you to all of my clients who've been very patient over that last few days as we've not been accessible by car and to for helping to make the process easier. Love the smell of a new road! 🤔🤷‍♀️😉

With love to all Dad's past present and future

So this week I've been mostly under pressure, perhaps not the pressure you might imagine! I've been using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to help reverse some of the effects of my brain injury.

I can't say it's an easy process but after the first few sessions I am noticing improvements. The hardest part is being claustrophobic and knowing that I'm in a small and emotionally uncomfortable environment for an hour and my head spends the whole hour shouting at me to get out! The interesting thing is, I wasn't claustrophobic pre brain injury, one of many things that are new to me! Four sessions under my belt so far thanks to lovely, kind and very patient Pieter 🙏🏻😊 I have been listening to 's amazing book Dare to Tri on to try and keep my mind out of fight or flight mode 😳 Brilliant book by Louise, so encouraging. As I say to my clients, and breathe...

Today is Hats for Headway day. Headway is a charity that supports those with brain injuries.

I am the proud owner of a Headway card, a bit like a driving licence it has a photograph and some details about me but the important difference between the two is that my Headway card tells anyone I present the card to, that I am in recovery from a brain injury. There are five main areas that I struggle with, memory, comprehension and processing, sequencing, organisation, attention and concentration, all of which are listed on the card. This card allows me to feel safe and more relaxed in challenging situations especially if I'm in unfamiliar company and can't find my words. Thank you for all you do to help our special community 🧡

The sun is out again and all of the plants are loving it 💜

Ending the day reflecting on the good

A bit of Monday morning planning. Is it wrong to love stationery? My trusty green , vibrant orange highlighter and my new Alexander Grange pen.

Body brushing is a simple thing to add to your daily or weekly routine, but something that will benefit you in many ways

The smallest of steps help to make big change, keep moving your head held high and keep going

Stop scrolling, take a deep breath, close your eyes, breath out, unclench your jaw and relax your shoulders

I don't know about you, but I can almost hear and smell the sea

There is nothing better than the warmth of spring sun on your face

What inspires you and your loved ones?

Things to think of when dry body brushing

Have you started yet?

Thought of the day

Dry body brushing is a great way to start the day, have you given it a go yet?

You'd better believe it!

Sometimes the smallest step outside of our comfort zone shows us that we are far more capable that we often believe

Letting go is hard, we can hold onto emotional things and physical things that no longer serve us

How do you find your balance?

Do you dry body brush?

Did you know it has many different benefits for your whole body, is a great way to start the day and possibly one of the cheapest and easiest things to add to your beauty routine

Invest in yourself and invest in a body brush today!

Don't let Blue Monday dull your sparkle

Having all returned to work and life being in more of a normal routine it is easy to forget to invest in ourselves and make time to decompress

If you have that Blue Monday feeling why not book yourself some reflexology to rebalance your physical and emotional wellbeing

Such a beautiful sky this morning, great for walking 😊

Only five more sleeps until 12th April 💗 Trying not to get too excited 😊
