Maternity Reflexology

Pregnancy Maternity Reflexology is one of the safest, most supportive therapies for pregnant women and is extremely relaxing and calming for the mind, body and baby.

From the early stages of morning sickness to delivery discomfort, pregnancy can be physically demanding. Maternity Reflexology can help with relief of many complaints during pregnancy including:

• Morning sickness
• Nausea and headaches
• Pain & discomfort
• Loss of bladder control
• Backache
• Stress & anxiety
• Lack of sleep & fatigue
• Digestive problems e.g. constipation
• Fluid retention
• Cramp

Childbirth

Reflexology can play an important role leading up to the birth. There is evidence that expectant mothers who receive regular Reflexology treatments during their pregnancy experience significantly shorter labours with less intervention than those who do not receive any treatments.

Post Natal

Once a baby has arrived, parents' lives may be thrown into unusual routines, feeding times, lack of sleep, and general exhaustion. Reflexology can help to:

• Calm and relax
• Increase energy levels
• Re-balance the body
• Stabilise body weight
• Aid lactation
• Prevent or reduce post-natal depression

Reflexology can help to make any pregnancy an enjoyable experience.

Contraindications

Reflexology is not advised during the first 3 months of pregnancy. If in any doubt whether you should have Reflexology treatment when pregnant please consult your GP.
