October is World Menopause Awareness Month. Menopause can have a major impact on women’s physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. We need to talk more about the impact of perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause and how they impact women - particularly the emotional and mental impact.

I’m interested in hearing how menopause has impacted you. Please comment below.

For me the biggest impact was on my sense of self. I also experienced high levels of anxiety so for me it was how it impacted my emotional and mental wellbeing.

A very kind client brought me a gift today. Can’t wait to sit down to read it 😀

It reminded me that so many lovely people cross my door every day and I am honoured to offer them a space to retreat, relax, and restore 🥰

An interesting article raising awareness about perimenopause and how it can impact the body.

Menopause is historically under-researched, which means that around half of those entering this key life stage lack knowledge on how their bodies might change and, crucially, how to cope with those shifts.

Sole and Body Work is based in Dysart, Kirkcaldy and offers Reflexology, reflexology for menopause, Swedish massage, and Myofascial Release.

Sleep is so important for our overall wellbeing. Many of us find it difficult to get to sleep or to stay asleep and often we wake in the morning not feeling particularly refreshed.

My clients report having slept deeply and well after reflexology. Reflexology promotes relaxation in the body, and most clients feel very relaxed after a treatment.

I believe that in our busy world, we very rarely allow our bodies to relax and often, when we go to bed, we feel exhausted, but our bodies are unrelaxed. We may still be in fight or flight from the stress of the day. This is not conducive to a good night’s sleep.

There are things that we can do to help our body relax before bedtime:
Stay off social media for at least an hour before bedtime (social media can increase our levels of stress)

Have a meditative practice that helps the body to relax – this could be meditation, Yoga Nidra, or a body scan – apps like Insight Timer are free and have some lovely Yoga Nidra and body scans practices for sleep.

Do something that helps you to relax like read a book, massage your feet (or get someone else to do it!), or have a warm bath.

Incorporating body work like massage and reflexology into your life can also be a wonderful way to help improve your sleep. They will certainly help you to feel more relaxed and help you to recognise the difference between relaxation and stress in your body.

Sole & Body Work offers reflexology, reflexology for menopause, and Swedish Massage. I am based in Dysart, Kirkcaldy and offer appointments on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and some Saturdays.
