Initially when couples decide to try and conceive, they sometimes find that it doesn’t happen easily. Reflexology has been shown to help this process naturally and successfully. Women have reported that using reflexology at this stage, helped them to prepare emotionally and physically and was a key component to conceiving naturally. (reflexology is wonderful for potential dads too!)

PREGNANCY

During pregnancy, reflexology has been shown to be helpful at reducing some of the symptoms mothers-to-be experience. It helps to; promote relaxation, improve circulation, reduce stress and relieve common discomforts. It helps to improve; hormones, mood, sleep, tension and address issues like swelling or nausea. 

This natural therapy gently nudges the body towards improved functioning of all its systems. It is a natural alternative therapy using specialized zone pressure to activate different zones on the foot corresponding to reflex points to different organs, tissues and parts of the body. 

Prenatal reflexology includes specialized reflex stimulation to the reproductive organs, lymphatic system, pelvic area, digestive system, lumbar spine, thyroid, pituitary gland, solar plexus and adrenal glands.
