Reflexology proved to be just what the doctor ordered at the Love Your Mind and Body course at TWRC. Martina McAuliffe spoke about the origins of the treatment and developments through the years, before she, Brid Ann O'Connor and Eileen O'Driscoll treated each of the women present to a hand reflexology session. Participants were also given some tips on how to use some of the techniques themselves. This week saw Anita Quilligan, one of the Traveller Community Health Workers, delivering a talk on the food pyramid followed by some delicious smoothies.

The joint programme run by Tralee Women's Resource Centre and Kerry Travellers Development Project would like to thank the speakers to date for making the programme such a success. Anyone, who would like to experience reflexology for themselves can contact Martina McAuliffe, Duagh, Listowel at 087 979 5399, Brid Ann O'Connor, Currans, Farranfore on 086 1018513 or Eileen O'Driscoll Hollymount, Kells Bay, on 087 247 1750 or www.eileenreflexology.com

Next week Sheila King from the HSE will talk about Nutrition...with particular emphasis on nutrition at different stages of a woman's life.
