🎉20 years as a reflexologist 🎉 day 3
Life changing therapy part 3- goosebumps as now it gets weird 😉

Day 1 I told you about my reflex journey as I went life altering spine surgery

Day 2 I told you about how I used reflex to get me off continual anti biotics & knock a nasty issue to the curb (see prev posts if interested)

Day 3- so I was now post op back working in my beloved therapy field

I live on a tourist island & back then before my books were full I saw a tourist for a reflexology session….at the end of the treatment they told me how relaxed etc they were & they saw a “golden Buddha atop a golden pyramid”

I thought nothing of it at the time, people see & feel all manner of experiences as they drop through layers of relaxation & release trauma to let healing in within treatment

Though I do remember thinking wow that’s very specific & can’t remember the last time I’d heard someone use the word “atop”

The next week I had another client, who’d never received a reflex session before, I spent time relaxing them deeply before moving into the pressure points as I know how this can impact a treatment outcome

Client was relaxing so deeply & I was rippling with goosebumps…always a good sign healing energy is being utilised within a treatment

You won’t hear me call myself a “healer” makes me feel a bit 🤢 tbh…a facilitator maybe but im not a healer!! You are!! by accessing relaxed parts of your nervous system that allows life force energy to flow more freely

Imagine then to my surprise when at the end of the treatment the client informs me they saw “a golden Buddha atop a golden pyramid”

Wtaf….the exact same scene the client last week saw & that word “atop” again

Whilst I don’t see my self as healer I am certainly very intuitive after working with over 50,000 clients in a 30 year touch career

the deeper I move into therapies of the mind & body the more I know there is more to this planet than ever we will know

My parting words….remember what you seek is deep within you….it isn’t in a treatment, Crystal, the stars, Chinese medicine (btw I use all of these & more in my work) yes they can support

However never seek validation from others seek it from yourself….YOU are the most important energy in your life & I see too many people not realising the potency that is within them to move the needle of their life forward (yes I include myself in that statement as this human experience is tough man)

IF you are willing to dive deep into calming your own inner waters to still the storms of life

Thanks for reading my reflex journey huge love

🎉Day 2 of 20 years as a REFLEXOLOGIST🎉
Story 2 of the life changing event-
So after the life changing spine op that left me learning how to do a lot of life again (see yesterdays post if you haven’t already)

After the crushing of the nerves that served my legs & being numb from the waist down just one of the things I was left with was recurrent UTI

I’d never had 1 in my life & had no idea how agonising & sick inducing they made you

As soon as I’d finished one lot of antibiotic it would be back with vengeance- any one who has to have regular anti biotic knows what other wonderful side affects they leave you with after decimating your natural micro biome

Having to have them every 2 weeks was not an option….

So using my background in therapy & now I could reach my feet 🎉 I started utilising reflex points & before long I was able to give up having the antibiotics altogether

You can also utilise points on your hands…and face!!

I also knew from my nutritional background that cranberry played a huge part in healing UTI

sadly many of swill the carton stuff which has so much sugar it will just feed the issue so research your supplements, just because things are natural they may interact or knock out the effect of any meds you have to take so you have to check with your pharmacist or GP

I took high dose supps at the first sign & along with reflex have gone from a year of every two weeks to never needing anti biotics giving the rest of my health a chance to get over the side effects

My biggest wish is we educate ourselves & listen to our bodies before they reach crisis stage….working alongside conventional medicine not it being our only option….

I know of a Harley street MD who has a practice with an acupuncturist & kinesiologist & they see just 20% of patients & the complementary takes up the remaining 80% - educating & supporting on lifestyle issues that may have impacted illness

Day 3….Reglecology & the link to the spirit world….this will leave you with GOOSEBUMPS!

See you with that story tomorrow

All my love Cat x

Part 1…the life changing event
🎉Celebrating my 20th year 🎉 as an ITEC qualified Reflexologist 👣 let me tell you a story of resilience….

🏥I started my training within Roehampton Hospital in London in 2001/2 by December I’d had the scariest event of my life…a shattered a disc in my back L5/S1…the biggest disc we have

🔥It rendered me numb from the waist down…..I’m talking I couldn’t even feel my belly button, couldn’t lean on a radiator in case I burnt my self, could injure myself as I couldn’t feel so wouldn’t know if I was standing on anything

😩I was living in a shared house in London & had to try to crawl upstairs on hands & knees, yelling in pain & it took for ever, eventually I had to give in, Mum & Dad came & rescued me, took me home

🥲Sadly I was poorly misdiagnosed in hospital, I won’t blame or shame, no need my journey is mine to figure out but I hope it never happens to anyone else….it changed my life forever at 27

I eventually had surgery & was told I’d be “black n blue” feel like “I’d been hit by a baseball bat”
“Would need a back brace” “would need morphine” “did I want children, not sure if you’ll be able to have them” that was from the doctors mouth

🙏I was so grateful my practitioner background taught me to see past the fear of his words & get cracking on healing

❤️‍🩹Cue me leaving hospital within 3 days with nothing but a paracetamol & a fierce belief in healing from my vocational background

👣Within 6 weeks I’d moved back to London to continue my beloved therapy career & finish my REFLEXOLOGY course!

I was in agony, learning to rewalk pretty much & do a whole host of movements/ things that I’d taken for granted whilst studying for the highest therapy qualification

🦶Funny that I was going through this dreadful time whilst learning about how to access every system of the body through feet….whilst learning to walk properly again, I had a huge limp & not feeling my feet was kind of a big deal

😓It took every effort to get to class each week, some weeks I just couldn’t find the energy or resilience to get there but continued my studies, I was determined….

A years course, dozens of case studies performed & written

Exam day came to south west London

I laid out my portfolio for the assessor. Set up my reflexology couch & away we all went on with our exam

We had to wait for the written exam results but got the practical there & then

🎉I done well, really well

There were a few looks of surprise on the room, let’s face I was a bit flaky & weird in my showing up……people had absolutely no idea what I’d been through but my amazing tutor who I’m friends with to this day was so so supportive & always has been.

I owe her huge thanks. Along with my parents & my cousin who encouraged me & came with me on exam day to help me load the car

🥇It turns out I got a distinction much to my amazement oh & I forgot to say I was also studying Indian Head Massage at St Mary’s Sports College 🏉in Twickenham at the same time- I was one point off distinction there but I couldn’t have cared less….no google maps in those days

I was just grateful to find my way to class in my huge old Sierra sapphire with no power steering 😂

You’ll want to tune in to the next instalment….how Reflexolgy stopped a serious illness in me that antibiotics couldn’t

THE BRIDGE…..let your light spark
Just off of teaching in my year long programme..tonight we talked science meeting spirit in the nervous system…..THE BRIDGE

how that helps us come out of dorsal vagal (dissociation/ numbing out)

Through sympathetic (fight /flight ) & into…

Ventral vagal…the part of our nervous system where we are able to adopt & foster healthy emotions, confidence, compassion calm & ultimately self leadership…..don’t worry there was a healthy dollop of relaxation too…

When we are triggered & we understand our response we can move through emotions & life far more EASILY……don’t know about you but I’m all for EASE 🙏💝

Well done to this years cohort for journeying through themselves so well & willingly 🙏
