You are getting married. Congratulations. You have picked the date, and are about to plan a celebration in honour of the commitment between you and your partner. Now, the real fun begins. You will be faced with a dizzying array of choices to make, such as the ceremony and reception spaces – indoors or out? Music – DJ or live band? Then there is the registry, the dress, the photographer, the florist, and let’s not talk about the guest list.
Do you want to run away? Before you book a solo flight to Neverland, remember that wedding planning can get hectic, but the process is necessary – you and your partner are shaping one of the most special days of your life. If you are feeling stressed and need to lie back, put your feet up, and relax - literally, here is one stress-buster you may not have heard of which allows you to do just that:
Reflexology.
Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive therapy. It provides a holistic approach to health and wellness. A Reflexologist uses a focused pressure technique, generally applied to the feet. It is based on the principle that there are reflexes on the feet which correspond to every body part, organ and gland. Applying pressure to these reflex points may send out signals to balance the nervous system, reduce levels of stress-causing hormones, relieve tension and promote relaxation for your overall wellness.
During the months leading up to your wedding, you may experience stress-related problems such as headaches, restless sleep, back and shoulder pain, anxiety, irritability and fatigue. Scheduling in regular reflexology treatments months before the big event may help save your sanity and keep stress at bay.
A Natural State of Well-Being
Reflexology for weddings is tailored specifically for the busy bride-to-be. Imagine yourself in a peaceful atmosphere lightly infused with aromatic essential oils to help you achieve a state of calm. Your one-hour treatment begins with a soothing foot bath, as you enjoy a glass of wine. Tension will melt away as your feet soak in an herbal tonic. You will feel weeks and weeks of wedding-related angst disappear.
