Sunshine & Vitamin D

Now that the sun is shining more often, it’s the perfect time to naturally top up your vitamin D—a nutrient essential for mood, energy, immune health, and even fertility.

Just 10–20 minutes of gentle sun exposure a day can make a difference, especially if you’ve been indoors a lot over the winter months.

Spending time outdoors doesn’t just support vitamin D production—it also gives your nervous system a chance to reset. But balance is key. Try to enjoy time outside in the early morning or late afternoon when the sun is softer, and always protect your skin if you’re out for longer periods. Think wide-brimmed hats, light layers, or mineral SPF for sensitive skin.

Vitamin D plays a vital role at a cellular level—it helps regulate the immune system, supports the absorption of calcium for strong bones, and contributes to healthy cell growth and repair. It’s also linked to mood regulation and hormone balance, making it especially important for overall wellbeing, energy, and resilience throughout the summer months.

Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to fatigue, mood changes, and even hormonal imbalances. Making sure you get enough—through safe sun exposure, diet, or supplements—can help keep your body energised, balanced, and resilient throughout the summer and beyond.

Need a little support in reconnecting with yourself? Book a calming reflexology or facial reflexology session to reset, restore and align with your summer energy. It’s the perfect time to give yourself space to breathe, soften, and begin again.
