Maternity Reflexology helps both Mum and baby during this very special and exciting time. During the nine months of pregnancy, a woman's body goes through enormous physical changes as a new life grows inside. While some women are able to adjust to the physical and hormonal changes easily, for others, this can be a long period of discomfort and fatigue with nausea, headaches, backache and other conditions associated with pregnancy, taking away the joy and excitement of being pregnant and expecting a baby.

 

Reflexology is one of the safest, most supportive therapies for pregnant women and, sensitively applied, is excellent during pregnancy and birth, both for the mother and her baby. Research has shown that regular reflexology treatments during pregnancy can improve the chances of a shorter, less intense labour; recovery of mother and baby is quicker and both are calmer and more relaxed which enhances bonding and breastfeeding.

 

Reflexology has shown to be excellent in treating common conditions and maintaining balance during the rapidly changing experience of pregnancy, and can help with:

 

• morning sickness/nausea

• headaches

• pain & discomfort

• stress & anxiety

• fatigue

• backache

• digestive problems/constipation

 

The focus for me as a reflexologist is to balance and harmonise the whole being in preparation for birth help to make your pregnancy a more enjoyable and memorable experience.
