|  Maternity Reflexology is Reflexology adapted for use during this special time. I decided to further my reflexology skills and studied the theory and practise of these techniques, with Suzanne Enzer, (what an inspiration!). I am able to work confidently on clients during all aspects of maternity, from pre conception to post natal. Having regular treatments throughout pregnancy often leads to an easier birth, a calmer baby and a calmer you!
Maternity is an exciting and wonderful time, but not without a few health niggles. Women feel that they would rather avoid prescription medicines at this time, certainly in the first 13 weeks when morning sickness and tiredness are most likely to happen.
Before pregnancy, Reflexology can help with:
· Irregular Periods· Dysmenorrhoea· Menorrhagia· Oligomenorrhoea· Amenorrhoea· PMS· Sub Fertility
Using Reflexology before conception, can help to balance the hormones. it will also boost the immune system so that optimum health is obtained.
During pregnancy, Reflexology can help with:
· Morning sickness and nausea · Loss of bladder control · Hiatus hernia · Haemorrhoids · Piles · Sleepless nights, fatigue and exhaustion · Constipation or diarrhoea · Swelling, puffiness and cramp around the legs and ankles · Discomfort · Back ache · Symptoms of pregnancy induced Diabetes and High Blood Pressure · Heartburn · Symphysis Pubis Pain· To help you relax and take time out for yourself · Help turning posterior babies around · Help breech babies to turn · Inducing labour naturally
Being specially trained, I can work on the relating reflexes to bring relaxation and relief from the symptoms of these complaints. There is a high rate of success and I have found that several of the symptoms can clear up almost immediately.
Once your baby is born, your lives are thrown into overdrive; loss of sleep, strange routines, lactation, stress, frustration, tiredness, loss of energy, the list goes on. However, Reflexology can help put all these things into perspective, keeping you calm, in control and helping you to cope.
After birth, Reflexology can help with:
· Stabilising bodyweight · Insomnia · Replacing energy loss · Aid milk flow · Caesarean recovery · Post natal depression · Stress· Helping uterus return to its original state.
Reflexology can also be used on babies and children to ease common illnesses and keep them healthy and happy.
