Maternity Reflexology

Foot reflexology is an ancient healing art that has been practiced in China, India, and Egypt centuries ago. 

I have a holistic approach to health and recognize the importance of the mind/body connection.

Reflexology is exactly that – a holistic, gentle but effective way of relaxing, balancing, revitalizing and boosting your entire body on an mental, emotional and physical level. 

It works on the principle that there are reflex points in your feet which correspond to your entire body. By applying pressure to these points, stress is reduced, the body’s systems are balanced and detoxified and the body’s innate healing ability is stimulated resulting in better health and well being. Reflexology is deeply relaxing but also energizing at the same time.    

Maternity Reflexology is an excellent way to increase and maintain your health and well-being.

It can be used to ease the minor discomforts of pregnancy. It can also reduce stress and anxiety, which might cause conditions in pregnancy, labour and the postnatal period.

Studies have shown that women who have regular reflexology treatments during pregnancy have far shorter labors then those who don’t.

Especially towards the end of your pregnancy, you might find it very soothing and nurturing. After birth it can also be helpful in many areas. 

In Particular it can help with:

Stress and anxiety

Relaxation and general well-being

Usually a foot reflexology session lasts about an hour depending on the age and state of health of the person. First sessions tend to be longer as I will take a case history prior to any treatment. Sessions are conducted mainly once a week and the exact number of sessions required is different depending on the condition and the healing response of the person. A minimum of 3-4 sessions are usually recommended.
