Welcome along to Footnotes on Life.
Sometimes the deepest healing begins when someone truly listens — including you.
At Footnotes on Life, I offer reflexology and carefully curated restorative practices for people who are ready to slow down, reconnect with themselves.
I have a particular interest in supporting people who have experienced moral injury.
In a world that asks us to keep pushing, stay resilient and carry stress quietly, rest can begin to feel like something we must earn.
I believe the opposite is true.
Healing is rarely linear and life may not always become easier — but we often hold more influence, agency and inner wisdom than we’ve been led to believe.
This is a space to pause.
To listen inwardly.
To rest deeply.
And to return to yourself at your own pace.
Based in Newton Hall, Durham.
Everyone should jump at the chance to have reflexology with Kate. Its such a wonderful grounding experience that everyone would benefit from especially in today’s world were we are all often spinning many plates. A wonderful way of self care that you really do feel the ongoing benefits of.
My reflexology session with Kate was wonderful. Having never had reflexology before I was a little nervous but her welcoming and gentle presence put me instantly at ease. The space was so soothing and I left feeling calm and rested. I would definitely recommend
Kate puts you at ease and is happy to answer any question.
I am really enjoying my treatments with Kate. She is very friendly and welcoming and has tailored the treatment to my needs. The treatment itself is incredibly relaxing and I have left each time with a sense of calm. Kate is very professional and has taken time to understand my needs and recommended products/techniques to help. A wonderful treatment and therapist, would highly recommend.

Moral injury is like an oil slick
There is little point in tending to the edges of the riverbanks if what is allowed to flow through is poison. At it's most simple moral injury is where what you believe to be true and what you experience do not align. More than that, they clash in such a way that the...
Menopause as murmuration
Q: If menopause had been framed as sacred how would I feel now? A: Like I was stepping into an era as an honourable rite of passage, witnessed and welcomed by women and ancestors. Revered and respected by younger generations who do not fear it, or me as I enter this...
Ostara / Spring Equinox
Spring, who made her announcement in whispers and tiptoes,arrives from the wings.Enters centre stage to pirouette, all eyes on herdelicate balance.We lean over, hold our breathand pivot into light. C o p y r i g h t © 2026 Kate Fox Robinson Image by Fabio Marciano...
