I’m trying for a baby

Trying for a baby can be a very stressful and emotional time for some couples. Reflexology is a natural way to help you both relax and prepare your body for pregnancy..

 

If you are receiving fertility treatment, like IVF, you will not be able to have reflexology while you are actually taking any fertility drugs. This is because it may encourage your body to behave naturally and produce just one egg – the opposite of the effect that fertility drugs try to achieve

I’m preparing for my baby’s birth

Stimulating certain parts of your feet with reflexology may help boost levels of endorphins – your body’s natural pain relief hormones.

 

Your reflexologist can teach your partner some simple techniques to help with pain relief during labour.

 

After the birth, reflexology aims to help rebalance your body and your hormones, and help you cope with the stress and tiredness that can come with a new baby.

 

I’m pregnant

As your body changes in shape and size throughout pregnancy, you may feel tired and stressed or suffer from back pain and swollen ankles. Many women also experience morning sickness and constipation.

 

All are reflected as tension and imbalances in your feet that can be felt by the sensitive, trained hands of a reflexologist. By working on these areas of the feet, they can help ease these stresses and strains.
