Maternity Reflexology
Maternity Reflexology
Maternity reflexology is focused on supporting women during pre-conception, pregnancy, labour and continuing through the post-natal period.
During pregnancy your body goes through many different stages that affect the emotional, hormonal and physiological balance of your body. Research has shown that regular reflexology during pregnancy can help alleviate many of the conditions associated with pregnancy, and has even shown to reduce shorten the duration of labour and require less pain relief.

Reflexology Treatment
During the first visit with a new client I will carry out a full consultation to understand your current conditions and goals of the treatment, as well as information about your lifestyle and medical history, and to address any concerns you might have.
The treatment is then carried out with the client lying on a reclining chair suitable for all stages of pregnancy.
