What is Pregnancy Reflexology?
Pregnancy Reflexology aims to support the parents -to-be through the conception and their maternity journey.
Holistic pregnancy reflexology will support not only the future mum-to-be but also her partner, in achieving a viable pregnancy.
Pre-conception
Preparing the right environment for conception.
-
addressing diet
-
assessing lifestyle and environment for mum and dad to be
-
balancing hormones and assisting ovulation with specific reflexology techniques
It is highly recommended to start the pre-conceptual care at least 3 months before conception.
Pregnancy
Supporting the mum-to-be as her body adapts to hormonal changes and a new shape and size. Reflexology can now help with:
-
digestive system
-
sleep patterns
-
leg cramps
-
hormonal mood changes
By applying certain techniques during the treatment we can support and prepare the body as the fetus develops to full term.
Labour
By applying specific techniques during reflexology treatments my aim is to encourage and prepare the client’s body to deliver her baby in the most natural way possible.
Post-natal care
Reflexology can be an excellent alternative therapy in this important time, especially the first few months after birth. It is used to help with
-
constipation
-
postnatal depression by re-balancing hormones
-
stimulating breast milk
-
backache
-
sleep patterns
