Research studies have shown that women who receive regular reflexology during pregnancy have better pregnancies and have a shorter labour with less intervention and require less pain relief.

What is Reflexology and how does it work?

Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive therapy based on the principle that the entire body is represented by reflex points on the feet. Each point correspond’s to an individual part of the body and will feel out of balance if there is a physical or emotional condition in that area.

Reflexologists can detect these imbalances and by using gentle stimulation we can revitalise, restore and maintain the body’s natural balance. Treatments will leave you feeling extremely relaxed, and following regular sessions you may notice a reduction in any symptoms that you experience.

Reflexologists believe that when the body is ill, injured or stressed, vital energy pathways are blocked preventing it from functioning optimally. Reflexology is thought to help unblock these pathways encouraging the body to function effectively, increasing energy and feelings of wellbeing.

The Treatment

The first session is for 75 minutes, which includes an initial consultation and a reflexology treatment.

Follow up sessions last for 1 hour, the treatment is around 50 minutes, which gives us time to discuss any changes to your health and wellbeing.

After a session of reflexology, you may notice that you feel more relaxed, that body tension eases and you experience improved sleep, better mood, increased energy levels, and a sense of general improved wellbeing.

Try to take it easy for an hour or so after reflexology whilst your body starts to respond to this deeply nurturing treatment.

“I had regular reflexology with Heather throughout my pregnancy which helped with a whole range of symptoms from morning sickness, acid reflex and pelvic girdle pain. I can highly recommend Heather, she always put my mind at ease and was always able to offer me excellent pregnancy advice”.
