Sole Movement Pilates & Reflexology

Without putting too much info on here, there is somewhere fairly local that is setting up a ‘screen led’ Pilates reformer studio.
Put your headphones on, pick a class, and off you go.
To say I am utterly disgusted, angry, and scared of the injuries this will inevitably cause, is an understatement.
If you want to learn Pilates, especially large equipment Pilates such as the reformer, please, please, please, find a reputable teacher and studio!
An ‘in person’ studio! Where a teacher has eyes on you!
As a teacher we undertake hundreds, if not thousands, of hours training for a reason!
Our continuing profession development is just that- continual! Each and every day I’m learning. From my clients, reading, courses, and several hours per week attending my own Pilates classes.
You need a teacher to help keep you working safely on a reformer. To watch how you move, correct your alignment, to ensure you get the most from this amazing method!
If you choose to have a home reformer, that’s your decision. And if there is a teacher present at these screen led sessions for safety reasons, then I’d feel slightly better about it. But only marginally.
I need to stop ranting. I hope I’ve made my point 🤦‍♀️

So yesterday, I saw a young lady who had ‘won’ a session with me in a raffle. I often donate if I’m asked to.
She had a complex medical history, and specifically wanted reflexology, which as you know I’m currently taking a break from. Her conditions are debilitating, both physically and mentally.
As I couldn’t offer reflex, or even 1:1 Pilates, (she’s too unwell for that at the moment) I suggested that I gave her equivalent in Tropic products. She politely declined, and asked me to help her in whatever way I could.
We did a MELT hand and foot guided session, and discussed lifestyle, nutrition, and how to help her nervous system deal with her stress levels. She then purchased some MELT kit from me, to continue her self care at home. Her request. Not mine.
Why am I posting this? Because today’s society usually want a quick fix. To take a pill. Blame other people/circumstances.
Yesterday showed me that there are still people who want to help themselves. I really wish that lady the best going forward. Despite feeling like crap, she wants to help herself and be the best version of herself.
Best of all, she left with a smile on her face and was enthusiastic about her health journey going forward.
That was payment enough for me 🥰

Just setting up for a Tropic Skincare 1:1, which is a service I’m offering free to anyone who is curious about these beautiful products 🥰

Over the years, my work as a Dental Hygienist, Pilates instructor, MELT instructor and reflexologist has always been about one thing, helping you feel good in your body.

Reflexology has been such a special part of my business and I’ve loved the conversations, friendships, and the trust you’ve placed in my hands. However, due to ongoing arthritis in my thumbs, I’ve made the difficult decision to step away from offering reflexology treatments.

It was a tough, emotional decision, and those I'm close to know I have shed tears over it. But, as I always encourage you to listen to your own body, I know I need to listen to mine too.

As one door closes, another opens. And me being me, I'm constantly on the search for knowledge, tools, and products that can enhance my own wellbeing as well as yours. I’m pleased to share that I’m now a Tropic Skincare ambassador. This is a path I never thought I'd venture down! But I see it as a natural extension of supporting your wellbeing from the outside as well as the inside.

The products are clean, natural, and feshly made. So you won't see them on shop shelves. They are full of nourishing ingredients that actually do good things for your skin and wellbeing.

If you’d like to know more, or pop over to try the products over a cuppa, or just have a chat about skincare that feels kind and nurturing, I’m here, or check out my webshop www.tropicskincare.com/deblynch
There are regular offers and freebies, so please message first if you're interested in ordering.

You may notice my business name changing over the coming weeks. It’s still me, with the same care, and focus on movement and wellbeing. Just a fresh chapter as the work I do continues to evolve.

Thanks as always for your continued support! # # #

💖 Belated Valentine’s Love… for Your Body! 💖

Unfortunately Im laid up with a bad bout of Covid! I’m a bit late popping something on here as my days are blending into each other this week 😆

It’s also a little late for chocolates and roses, (actually, no it’s not 🫣) but it’s never too late to show your body some love 🧘‍♀️

The MELT Method is perfect for gently releasing tension, improving posture, and making you feel lighter and more relaxed, because your body deserves a little extra care every day, not just on Valentine’s.

I’m currently taking on MELT 1:1 clients, so if you know anyone who may be interested, please do share.

So, if you didn’t get a Valentine today… your back, shoulders, and joints still got you!
Take a few minutes for yourself tonight, you are worth it! 🤗🥰

Highly recommend 🥰

Merry Christmas and a huge thank you to all my clients that have supported me this year!

Even my spaniels love Christmas.. had to snap this pic of them in Mary Puppins Pet Pantry in Emsworth 🤭

Here are 5 reasons to book a MELT method session with me 🥰

•Pain relief
•Improved mobility
•Better stability
•Helps cope with ageing
•It’s easy self care!

I MELT every day, either doing a foot or hand treatment, or using the soft MELT roller.
It’s made a significant difference to my body in so many ways, reducing pain, easing tension, it’s improved my skin tone on my arms and legs, and it helps keeps my stress levels under control.

Contact me for more info, and also if you’re interested in buying the equipment, as I have some in stock 😊
