Pre and Post Natal Therapies
Maternity Reflexology
Reflexology is a wonderful complementary therapy to support you physically and emotionally through each stage of your maternity journey, from conception to birth and beyond.
A restorative treatment that can help to bring balance within, reflexology can help reduce the anxiety and stress you may be feeling when trying to conceive and throughout your pregnancy. After your treatment you will feel brighter and sleep better.
As you get closer to your due date, your thoughts will turn to the birth. While reflexology cannot induce labour or turn a breached baby, from 37 weeks I can offer you a specific reflexology sequence which is done with acupressure points. This treatment can help to prepare your body and promote deep relaxation, which will help to boost your energy and stamina, preparing you for the birth and long-awaited arrival of your baby.
Studies have shown that pregnant women who have had reflexology:
- May have shorter labour
- Could go into labour sooner and require less pain relief
- Can also experience less stress and anxiety during labour

Post Natal Reflexology
Reflexology is the ideal therapy to aid your recovery after the birth of your baby. You can bring your baby with you, and even lie down together for the treatment. Little ones instinctively pick up on the calming environment, making this a wonderfully comforting experience for both you and your baby.

Before your first treatment, we will have a full detailed medical and holistic consultation, and this will be updated prior to each follow-up treatment. As with all complementary therapies, there are some instances when maternity reflexology might not be suitable, particularly in a high-risk pregnancy or for clients with certain health conditions. If you are unsure, it is always advisable to check with your midwife or doctor. Alternatively, contact me and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Pregnancy Massage
Awaiting your new arrival is wonderful time, but it can also be physically and emotionally stressful. Throughout pregnancy, your body undergoes many natural transformations, including hormonal and postural changes, leading to discomforts like back pain, tension headaches, leg cramps, tiredness, and stress and anxiety.
Pregnancy massage can be enjoyed at any stage of a healthy pregnancy. For peace of mind, I choose not to offer massage therapy in the first trimester, preferring to wait until you have had your first scan and are assured all is well.
Your positioning during the treatment is a priority and will be slightly different during pregnancy so you will be comfortable and supported.
The massage will be tailored to your needs, to ensure that you have the ultimate relaxing treatment during this special time, and that you leave feeling rested, restored and with an improved feeling of wellbeing.
