Pregnancy Reflexology

​

Pregnancy can be an awe-inspiring time for many women. However for some, it is also a challenge, with many changes to their bodies, new hormones and anxiety regarding labour and significant life change.

​

Reflexology is a gentle therapy, wonderful to use during pregnancy, throughout labour and in the months after birth.

It may enhance feelings of well-being and complements standard antenatal and postnatal care.

​

I have a diploma in maternity reflexology and have been working regularly with women in all stages of pregnancy for over 15 years.  

 

I also work to support women and men with fertility issues.

​

Is Reflexology safe for my baby and me?

​

Reflexology is generally considered safe in low risk pregnancy. 

​

There are some contra-indications to treating during pregnancy, please discuss any concerns you might have prior to booking your treatment.

​

​

  

Can Reflexology be used to bring on labour? 

​

There is anecdotal evidence to suggest that reflexology can help to bring on labour, providing both mother and baby are ready.

​

It is always recommended that clients who wish to use reflexology for this purpose begin their reflexology sessions at least 6 weeks prior to their estimated due date (around 34 weeks), although this is not essential.

​

After an estimated due date, the focus of the treatment is on stimulation and a firmer pressure is used on relevant points on the feet. Acupressure points around the feet and ankles are incorporated in to the treatment.
