For many reflexologists and holistic practitioners, burnout isn’t just “feeling tired” — it shows up as emotional exhaustion, loss of joy in practice, overwhelm around business and boundaries, and a sense of giving more than we’re able to replenish. In this inspirational episode,

Meg speaks to integrative health coach Gaby Cabrera-Kimchi, a functional medicine practitioner and integrative health coach, whose work is all about helping people reclaim energy, restore balance, and live in a way that supports deep, sustained wellbeing.

With our very special guest, Gary Waters.

Exploring mindset, confidence and breaking through self-doubt as a reflexologist.

Gary works with entrepreneurs, athletes, businesses, busy parents and everyone in between. He shares insights into a completely different way of thinking, leading to a life changing shift in perspective. This has a transformative effect on all aspects of life, including personal fulfilment, increasing levels of performance and business success.

In this enlightening conversation, Meg Murray Jones and Gary Waters delve into the transformative power of mindset coaching, particularly for reflexologists. They explore the impact of subconscious beliefs on confidence, the nature of imposter syndrome, and the importance of separating self-worth from client outcomes. Gary emphasises the need for reflexologists to recognise their role as facilitators rather than healers, and the significance of personal 'undevelopment' in achieving true self-awareness and empowerment.

The discussion also touches on societal conditioning and the pressures that practitioners face, offering practical insights for fostering a healthier mindset and professional identity.

This conversation is powerful, for reflexologists and ALL of us who face pressure to be a certain way.

Please do share this conversation with anyone who may find it useful.

With our guest Michelle Stringer.

How to enhance your practice with CPD, reflection and curiosity...

In this episode of the Reflexology Exchange, Michelle Stringer from the Association of Reflexologists discusses the importance of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for reflexologists. The conversation explores how CPD is often misunderstood as merely attending courses, but is actually a broader concept that includes reflection, curiosity, and various activities that enhance professional skills. Michelle shares her personal journey into reflexology, the significance of maintaining professional standards, and how ongoing development benefits both practitioners and clients.

The episode also addresses common misconceptions about the cost of CPD and emphasises the value of reflective practice. Finally, listeners are encouraged to integrate CPD into their routines and take advantage of the resources provided by the AOR.
