Advanced Clinical Reflexology

Mission accomplished! In the early hours of Sunday morning I, together with 10 incredible women, climbed Mount Snowdon, at night, in memory of my beautiful daughter, Annabel, who sadly passed away in October, aged just 11 years old. Together we have raised almost £30,000. Thank you to all of you that have supported us. It was gruelling and physically the hardest thing we have ever done.

As I continue to navigate through the horror of losing Annabel, walking, temporarily, frees my mind from the fear and darkness that consumes me daily.

This morning, we walked above the clouds, training at Malvern Hills in preparation for climbing Snowdon, at night, in nine weeks time, raising money in memory of Annabel for Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Thank you for supporting me with this challenge.

Annabel, my beautiful daughter and only child, passed away on the 14th October, aged just 11. The absolute horror, the crushing panic, the pain, the grief, the utter devastation has been truly unimaginable every single day since.

The loss of Annabel is felt in every breath I take, like a huge, dense, dark, heavy, mass permanently fixed to my chest and throat. I can barely breathe without her. Words cannot express how much I miss Annabel, it’s inconceivable.

Much of my existence since Annabel’s passing has been curled on the sofa, in deep shock, darkness, feeling complete sorrow, distress and hopelessness. I am living a nightmare, intensified so much more over Christmas and New Year.

Desperate to help, friends have suggested doing a challenge, to give me focus, to motivate me to leave the house and to raise money in Annabel’s memory.

Annabel was an incredible child, loved by all who met her. Annabel was my greatest gift and she brought so much intense love, joy and happiness into my life. Our bond was like no other. We enjoyed so many hobbies and fun experiences together. However, one thing Annabel did not enjoy so much was walking far. If I suggested a long walk, on a weekend, Annabel would have a little grumble. We would often joke about it.

I will be climbing Snowdon, at night, in 12 weeks time, on the 2nd April, together with some incredible friends, to raise money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital in Annabel’s memory.

Annabel would not have wanted to do this challenge, but she would have been so proud of me for attempting it. Annabel was my biggest cheerleader. I miss her love and enthusiasm so much. Please support me in raising money in her memory and help leave a greater legacy in Annabel’s name.

On the 14th October my life changed forever. My beautiful daughter, Annabel Greenhalgh, died unexpectedly, aged just 11. I am utterly heartbroken.

We would like to raise money for two very special charities in Annabel's memory, Birmingham Children's Hospital and The Fluency Trust. We would like to keep funds as equal as possible. I am grateful for all donations, large or small.

In memory of Annabel Greenhalgh

As many of you will know my inspiration to become a Reflexologist was my incredible daughter Annabel. I am completely and utterly devastated to announce the passing of Annabel on Friday 14th October.
The magnitude of my shock, grief and complete emptiness is unimaginable. She was the centre of my universe.
Annabel was an inspiration to all. She had a beautiful, kind soul. She was gentle, phenomenally bright, fun and always inclusive of everyone. I will not be returning to reflexology for some time but there are other excellent AoR registered Reflexologists in Warwickshire. Please refer to the website to find a qualified reflexologist.

The present study was extracted from an approved master’s thesis in midwifery at Gonabad University of Medical Sciences, funded by the Research and Technology Deputy of the university….. “.

Like many, I am thrilled January is out of the way. I am hopeful February will be a much happier, healthier month for all of us.

The early years can be stressful at times for both parents and children. Whether the stress is due to colic, changes in sleep pattern, new habits, emotions or common ailments, reflexology can aid relaxation and improve wellbeing for all ages.
