Pregnancy Reflexology

Reflexology is a popular complementary therapy based on the principle that each area of the body is related to a specific reflexology point or zone on the foot, like a map. Through precise manual pressure of these certain points on the feet, specific conditions or symptoms can be treated, restoring homeostasis and balance in the body.

I am trained in a specific German style of clinical reflexology known at Reflex Zone Therapy (RZT) which is very well fitted to pregnancy.

It is important to note that RZT is not a foot massage. Although most find it relaxing, it can be a little tender if used to treat therapeutically. After the treatment however, I will always finish with a relaxing aromatherapy foot massage with a bespoke essential oil blend to suit your needs.

Reflex Zone Therapy can aid relaxation as well as offering relief for many common pregnancy related conditions and symptoms, such as:

-back pain

-pelvic girdle pain

-symphysis pubis dysfunction

-sciatica

-carpal tunnel syndrome

-nausea, vomiting and excessive salivation

-headaches

-fatigue

-insomnia and difficulty sleeping

-oedema (swelling in feet / ankles)

-digestive problems such as constipation or heartburn

-haemorrhoids

-lactation issues

-general relaxation and relief of stress and anxiety.

It is also useful in post-dates pregnancy for birth preparation to encourage spontaneous labour.
