SUMMARY:Reflexology & Essential Oils for Anxiety and Depression - LONDON
DESCRIPTION:Enhance your therapeutic toolkit with a hands-on workshop bringing together the powerful practices of reflexology and aromatherapy to help manage anxiety and depression. Anxiety disorders affect over 8 million people in the UK (Mental Health UK)\, and about 280 million people worldwide struggle with depression (WHO). The need for effective\, whole-person treatment approaches has never been greater. \nWhen combining reflexology and essential oil therapy\, we amplify the benefits of each modality\, providing a deeply powerful and comprehensive approach to supporting our clients. Direct inhalation of essential oils quickly transmits these chemical messengers from the olfactory bulb to the regions of the brain that play a key role in emotional responses\, learning\, memory\, and social interaction (Arisi et al 2012). Reflexology’s targeted pressure techniques send waves of relaxation and comfort throughout the nervous system. Together\, these therapies create a synergistic effect\, offering greater relief and support than when used individually. \nIn this supportive workshop\, you’ll gain advanced skills and knowledge to support your clients’ mental health and emotional well-being. Through detailed instruction and hands-on training\, you’ll learn how to effectively combine these modalities in your professional practice\, making a real difference in the lives of those you care for. \nWho should attend?\n\nReflexologists\, and massage therapists seeking to expand their skill set and confidence in holistic mental health.\nMental health professionals looking to integrate somatic therapies into their practice.\nPhytotherapy practitioners wanting to enhance care plans with pressure point techniques and fast-acting aromatics.\n\n Learning Outcomes\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the common symptoms and causes of anxiety and depression.\nRecognize the physiological and psychological effects of mood disorders on the body and mind.\nExplain the physiological effects of reflexology and essential oil therapy.\nCreate a personalized treatment plan using reflexology and aromatherapy to address specific symptoms of anxiety and/or depression.\nFormulate a bespoke personal inhaler based on the treatment plan.\nEducate clients on the benefits of combined reflexology and essential oils for mental wellness.\nProvide self-care recommendations for clients to use at home.\nEnsure safety through identification of contraindications and safety precautions when working with concentrated plant aromatics.\n\nAbout Amy\nAmy Kreydin\, Board Certified Reflexologist and Clinical Aromatherapist\, has been in private practice since 2004. Kreydin received her certificate as a Certified Reflexologist from the Palmer Institute in Salem\, MA in 2004\, and was awarded her board certificate in Reflexology from the American Reflexology Certification Board in 2006.

SUMMARY:Autumn Equinox Apothecary Session
DESCRIPTION:Fall is all about celebrating the harvest\, storing up the goodness from the sunshine summer days\, releasing physical and emotional baggage\, and bringing a sense of balance to our inner and outer worlds. In this Apothecary Session we’ll look to caring for our Lungs\, Large Intestine\, Skin\, and the Chinese element of Metal. \n  \nWhat You’ll Learn: \n\nLiving with the season: On the autumnal equinox\, occurring September 22nd this year\, day and night are equal in length everywhere on the planet. The sun rises precisely in the east\, arcs through the sky for 12 hours\, and sets exactly in the west\, giving us 12 hours of darkness. This is the start of a 6-month period when yin and darkness expand\, peaking at the winter solstice in December\, and then contracting until they equalize once again at the spring equinox.\nOxymels: Food as medicine\, in which we combine honey\, apple cider vinegar\, and herbs to make oxymels. These tangy\, sweet concoctions are known for their medicinal benefits and versatile uses in cooking and wellness routines.\nAromastick: Personal aromatherapy inhalers are designed to bring aromatic plant extracts right to the nose\, and occasionally the mouth\, in an accessible way. About the size of a chapstick container\, they’re very portable\, and discrete to use.\n\nBody oil: Nourish the skin after a summer of intense heat and ultraviolet light exposure with a bespoke body oil. The skin is the largest organ of the body\, it protects\, regulates temperature\, defends against pathogens\, as well as expressing mood and personality.\nBotanicals: Gain insights into some of my favorite plants for this season\, such as — eucalyptus to deepen the breath\, ginger to warm the digestive tract\, bacopa to aid in brain function as we sort memories\, and native jojoba to protect and nourish the skin.\nHands-On Creation: You’ll have the opportunity to select from a variety of ingredients\, crafting blends that suit your personal tastes and needs. Together we’ll create an oxymel\, aromastick\, and body oil.\n\nWorkshop Details: \n\nDate and Time: Monday\, September 22nd\, 9am to 12pm noon\nLocation: The Barefoot Dragonfly LLC\, 7601 Pheasant Rock Road\, Austin\, TX\nDuration: 3 hours\nCost: $65.00\nMaterials Provided: All ingredients\, jars\, labels\, and instructional handouts\nWhat to Bring: A notebook if you’d like to jot down notes or additional recipes\n\nJoin us for this engaging and educational session\, and leave with a newfound appreciation for the ancient craft of herbal preparations\, along with your own handcrafted products. \nRegister Now to secure your spot\, space is limited to eight (8) participants: https://l.bttr.to/9V0G2 \nPlease note: due to small class size\, cancellations must be given seven (7) days in advance to receive a refund. In the event of class cancellation all participants will receive a full refund within fourteen (14) days of cancellation. \n\n  \nMedicine Making and Food Handling: \nThis session involves handling and preparing ingredients the community will be consuming. We will be practicing hygiene\, surface disinfection\, equipment sanitization\, and clean air practices together (UVC sterilizing lights and HEPA filters will be in use). The following PPE will be made available for all participants but you are always welcome to bring your own: \n\n🖐️ Nitrile and vinyl gloves in medium adult size\n👩‍🍳 Smocks and aprons as well as a selection of caps\, hair nets\, and hair bands\n🦠 EPA-registered disinfectants including thymol plant-based\, and vinegar-salt-water based hypochlorous acid\n\nThanks for helping make this a fun and safe activity for all!
