Reflexology is a wonderful treatment for aiding our journey through perimenopause, menopause and beyond. Reflexology will help to reduce the stress that can cause a lot of these symptoms, achieved by working to balance the Endocrine System. As a lady enjoying the second half of her life more than the first, I’m here to support you, provide relaxation, offer lifestyle advice whether holistic or allopathic and to help you find your zest for life as I did!
I would encourage the Five Pillars of Menopause;
• sleep - how can you achieve your 8 hours?
• exercise - weight-bearing, strength, flexibility, aerobic and balancing
• relaxation - deep relaxation allows the body to heal and repair
• diet - which foods will optimise your health?
• purpose - find your flow!
The days leading to childbirth can be quite stressful and often the doctor has given mum a date for the arrival of her little one and if she is over that date, mum can get stressed…it is important to remember that reflexology is a complementary treatment not a magic fix and if mum and/or baby not ready the reflexology alone isn’t necessary going to encourage them on. But, if the time is right it could be just the thing your body needs to get things going!
This is where reflexology can into play as it is not only a great tool to relax and calm mum but an extremely effective treatment to accelerate the onset of labour. Working on specific endocrine points of the feet such as; the pituitary gland, the pineal body, the thyroid and thymus glands, along with the pancreas and the ovaries to help labour along.
Treatments needed will vary…If the client has been having reflexology all the way through her pregnancy then the process of inducing labour might be easier. A one-off treatment will rarely bring labour along but in my experience it certainly helps the baby “drop”, several treatments close together would be the most beneficial.
Reflexology may help:
• reduce nausea and vomiting
• increase energy levels
• improve quality of life
• improve the quality of sleep
• help to improve mood and frame of mind
• help alleviate pain and anxiety
Facial cupping has been around for centuries in Eastern traditions as well as Native American cultures. It is an incredible relaxing treatment which stimulates and tones the muscles and increases blood flow. This process stimulates the production of elastin and collagen which plump and tighten the structure of the face. The lymphatic drainage element removes puffiness and helps to clear the skin. It can also reduce the appearance of pigmentation, producing a more even skin tone after a few treatments. You can often see or feel a difference after having one treatment, for maximum benefit and longer lasting effects regular treatments are recommended.
Facial cupping is great for boosting the skin and for ageing well. It can be a standalone 30 min treatment or added onto 30 min Facial Reflexology or Foot Reflexology or Zone Face Lift session for maximum impact.
What does the treatment entail;
Whilst lying flat on the bed ideally wearing a a wide-necked top so I can access and apply oil to your face neck as needed. The treatment involves opening relaxation moves followed by cleansing your face using a Neal Yard cleanser and hot towel then the application of zone face lift elixir or grapeseed oil if required. Medium and small cups are used to gently suction and glide over the skin following the contours of your face, neck and décolletage as appropriate.
The facial cups are made of soft silicone and so the treatment should be relaxing and pain free. Skin may begin to feel warm during the treatment and tension in the face relaxes. Most clients find the treatment very soothing and see a difference immediately after their session. There should not be any bruising however occasionally this may happen and in this case arnica cream can be applied.
Health benefits of cupping:
• Sinus congestion and Hay fever
• Headaches/Migraines
• Facial paralysis/Bells Palsy
• Bruxism
• Scarring
Facial cupping encourages lymphatic drainage and help to sculpt and contour the face and neck:
• reduces fine line and wrinkles
• firms and tones the skin and underlying muscles
• helps reduce pore size
• can lessen pigmentation
• encourages collagen and elastin production
• increases blood circulation
• promotes clear skin and gives a plump healthy glow
Contraindications
Facial cupping cannot be performed if you had Botox or Fillers (within 3 weeks of procedure)
Not recommended if on blood thinners, open wounds, multiple moles, very thin skin, very sensitive skin, any infection or contagious issue on head, neck or face such as cold sores, cystic acne or rosacea

Zone Face Lift and Bergman Method Facial Reflexology are officially award winning Therapies!
Honoured to have trained with award-winning Ziggie Bergman, pioneer in modern Facial Reflexology and facialist to Royalty and A-list Celebrities. This incredible Bergman Method has been developed over 20 years and uses a combination of traditional reflexology, Native American techniques and Asian body maps.
The benefits of Facial Reflexology are similar to those of any other reflexology treatment…aims to relax and alleviate stress by assisting the body to heal and rebalance itself. During facial reflexology gentle pressure is applied to the different reflex zones and reflexology points on the face whilst using an organic facial oil. It is believed these points directly relate to areas of the body. Facial reflexology encourages a healthy blood and lymph flow and stimulates Collagen and elastin, therefore, helping your skin to rejuvenate and minimize the appearance of ageing lines.
The face provides a beautiful and precise tool to read what is going on within the body's internal organs, central nervous system and neuro-biological system. A facial reflexology tool is applied to the face to gently balance, followed by lymphatic drainage massage movements and specific Facial Reflexology reflex points to achieve a sense of peace and harmony.
Discover the benefits:
• promotes the production of new skin tissue
• Leaves the skin looking radiant
• Relieves tension in the facial muscles
• Relieves mental strain and improves circulation
• Helps relieves headaches and sinus congestion
This 30 min minute protocol would ideally as a standalone de-stress treatment or can added to other treatments such as 30min foot reflexology or 30min facial cupping.
About
I began my career as a Research Scientist in both industry/academia. After a personally challenging year, I retired and found Reflexology which reshaped my life and allowed me to unite science with healing.
Graduating with distinction, I trained at The Christie Hospital in Manchester, adapting my work for Cancer and Hospice Care, here I learned to integrate therapeutic healing energy into my treatments, deepening their impact.
Using my scientific background, I approach treatments analytically, blending evidence-based understanding with holistic techniques to support the body’s systems.
I have since completed extensive advanced training, including:
• Lymphatic Drainage Reflexology
• Maternity, Fertility & Menopause Reflexology
• Hot Stone Reflexology
• Facial Reflexology
• Facial Cupping & Sculpting
• Zone Face Lift (ZFL)
I am also a Certified Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner and will soon offer dedicated Lifestyle Medicine coaching appointments alongside my reflexology practice.

Reviews
- Joan Craig·
treatment so relaxing and defo improving my sleep and foot pain
- J Turner·
Wonderful, she’s very knowledgeable and skilled. I feel lighter and more positive than when I walked in. Thanks!
- Kirsty Greaves·
Amazing session with the knowledgeable and fabulous Parveen.
- Debbie Glen·
I cannot recommend Parveen highly enough. From the moment you arrive, she creates a calm, welcoming and genuinely nurturing environment that instantly puts you at ease. She takes real time to listen, understand what’s going on in your body and life, and tailors every session with care, insight and professionalism.
Her knowledge of reflexology is exceptional, and her intuition is remarkable — she picked up on areas of tension and imbalance without me even mentioning them. The treatment itself was deeply relaxing (I almost fell asleep!), yet I left feeling lighter, calmer, energised and noticeably more balanced. Even issues I hadn’t realised I was holding onto began to ease after just one session.
What truly sets Parveen apart is her warmth and generosity of spirit. She explains things clearly, offers thoughtful guidance before and after the treatment, and makes you feel completely supported throughout. It never feels rushed — it feels like true, restorative self-care.
Whether you’re new to reflexology or have experienced it before, Parveen is simply outstanding. This is without doubt one of the most relaxing and beneficial treatments I’ve ever had, and I’ll definitely be returning. An absolute gem. - Joan Craig·
First visit for reflexology lymphatic drainage treatment.
Parveen is a very calming, kind and interesting lady and her treatment was great. Healing Hands
Will be back. - Nicola Greenhorn·
This was my second visit and didn't disappoint. Parveen is very welcoming and puts you at ease. The oils she uses in the room smell beautiful and add to the relaxing experience. The reflexology left me feeling extremely relaxed and I could feel by the end of the session I was more 'unwound' than I had been in a long time. I was tight in a few areas and I could feel my jaw relax as she was working on my feet despite not knowing I had been clenching it. I can feel the shift from discomfort to being more at ease since she has worked her magic! Thanks Parveen!
