Maternity Reflexology

During pregnancy a woman’s body goes through many physical and emotional changes.  In order to cope with these changes, an increasing number of women are choosing reflexology to aid relaxation and enhance their wellbeing.

Based on the manipulation of the reflex zones on the feet, research has shown that regular reflexology treatments during pregnancy can lead to an easier and more natural birth.  Reflexology may also ease the symptoms of some of the conditions associated with pregnancy and childbirth, including:-

Stress, fear and anxiety Odema (swelling)
Nausea Carpal tunnel syndrome
Backache Indigestion
Sciatica Constipation
Symphis pubis pain High blood pressure

Reflexology can also help to prepare the body for labour, offer comfort and pain relief during labour and also aid post natal recovery.

Helen has undertaken specialist post graduate training in order to safely cater for mum-to-be throughout their pregnancy.  Helen trained with leading professional Denise Tiran of Expectancy (www.expectancy.co.uk). Denise is a practicing Midwife, University Lecturer and Author and is renowned for her work in the safe implementation of complementary therapies in pregnancy and childbirth.

NB: Please note that there are a few instances where reflexology would not be suitable for an expectant mother.  Before each session, a full consultation will be carried out and an assessment made.  Clients are kindly requested to advise their midwife if they are considering reflexology treatment.
