Menopause

[Jellybean]

Hi I have a friend who is going through the menopause and is looking into reflexology to help with hot flushes, tiredness, etc. Having only recently qualified I do not have anyexperience on what reflexes to concentrate on. Would this be correct to work on.....

1. Pelvic area
2. Ovaries
3.Fallopian tubes
4. Uterus

I have read the Pituitary, Thyroid, adrenals and lower back also. Would you agree or add anything to this at all? This is still all very scary and very new. I still feel I am out of my depth!!
HELP!

This business takes up so much time with reading ! But at least it is interesting reading something I am fascinated by and I do not feel it is work ! But my goodness how daunting!
I feel a fake! Qualified but still feel a fake - I am sure confidence will kick in soon!
Thanks for listening.

Hi again Tracey

Bit of a coincidence that I have a new client tomorrow also presenting with Early Menopause. You've covered all the points that I would so don't worry, you do know what you're doing! Make sure that you cover all the endocrine and reproductive points and you'll be fine.

The most important thing is to come at it from the position of a good heart and a wish to help. Every thing else will flow from there. Trust your training, you've qualified, so you do know what you're doing.

If you want a recommendation for more reading, try Laura Norman's The Reflexology Handbook. My favourite.

Don't worry. Confidence does come. More quickly than you expect, usually.

Hiya

Thanks for the advice - instead of thinking about buying one of Laura Normans books I will today buy it ! I have been dilly dallying for so long ! Thanks for your help. At least I know I am in the right direction now!
Cheers

Yes, I have the 'The Reflexology Handbook' and it is brilliant. I consider it to be the most useful book that I have on reflexology. You won't be disappointed with it.

Love,
