Fertility Reflexology

Fertility Reflexology is a gentle therapy that can help ensure your mind and body are in the best possible condition prior to conception.

Conditions including Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can be a cause of sub-fertility and seem to respond particularly well to the hormone balancing effects of reflexology. The relaxing benefits of the therapy may also help if you are experiencing unexplained infertility or secondary infertility, and the ability to relieve the stress and anxiety that may be felt at this time should not be underestimated. Regular reflexology treatments, together with some lifestyle changes, can help improve your chances of a successful outcome. Fertility reflexology will prepare you and support you through diagnostic medical investigations and ensure that you are in optimum condition if you decide to opt for ART (Advanced Reproductive Technologies) procedures such as IVF.

"I was on Clomid for a bit, which I found to be a nightmare and was starting to get very down about not being able to conceive... I truly believe that if you had not treated me then I would still be trying now... I can't thank you enough for all those afternoons of treatment, not just the reflexology but also for listening to me and advising me and stopping me from going mad!"

Maternity Reflexology for pregnancy and labour

Maternity Reflexology can support you throughout your pregnancy and help prepare your body for childbirth. Specialised techniques will encourage you to relax and help ease the uncomfortable symptoms that you may be experiencing at this time including morning sickness, heartburn, insomnia and back pain. Regular treatments can also help alleviate troublesome conditions of pregnancy including Hyperemesis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Pelvic Girdle Pain (also known as symphysis pubis dysfunction).

My experience as a Maternity Reflexologist has been enhanced by working on a voluntary basis within a hospital maternity unit and I have used reflexology to treat many women during labour. I also maintain close links with community midwives in the areas surrounding my practice.

If you have gone beyond your expected 'due date' and your baby has still not arrived don't panic! Maternity Reflexology can be very effective at promoting deep relaxation and specialised techniques may help encourage the onset of labour.

"Just wanted to thank you for the reflexology session you performed on Thursday evening. Due to your 'magic hands' I went into labour at 5am Friday and gave birth at 9am to a litttle boy, Zac Alfie, weighing in at 9Ib 2oz and all is well".

A Specialist Fertility and Maternity Reflexology service

I work closely with my colleague, Val Groome, who offers treatments in south Essex and has her own practice near Southend-on-Sea. Together we are able to provide a Specialist Fertility, Pregnancy and Post-natal Reflexology service for Essex.

I regularly assist Val when she runs her 2 day Maternity Reflexology training courses. These are open to fully qualified reflexologists and are held throughout the year at venues around the UK.
