Reflexology

A big thank you to Emma for yesterday’s wonderful Reflexology session! Eight more members had the chance to enjoy a relaxing hand or foot treatment, and the smiles were priceless!

Reflexology offers incredible benefits for adults with learning disabilities. It helps reduce stress, promotes relaxation, improves circulation, and supports overall well-being. Sessions like these create a calming environment where everyone feels more connected and cared for.

We’re so grateful for these opportunities to support our members’ health and happiness. See you all next time for more relaxation and self-care!

Wellbeing Wednesdays – Reflexology

Last week, as part of our Wellbeing Wednesdays project, we had our first monthly reflexology session with Emma. Reflexology is a therapeutic technique where pressure is applied to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears, which are believed to correspond to different parts of the body. This therapy can be especially beneficial for individuals with learning disabilities and autism, as it helps reduce stress, improve mood, and ease physical tension.

In our session, we focused on the feet, but Emma will also cover hand reflexology in future sessions. Many of our members felt more relaxed and comfortable afterward, and we look forward to the continued benefits of these sessions.

A special thank you to the Gwent Regional Partnership Board for funding our wellbeing project. We have lots more planned over the coming months, including chair yoga sessions, mental health coping strategies, and much more!
