Reflexology during pregnancy focuses on optimizing the physical and emotional well-being of expectant mothers. I will work on specific reflexology points, which are typically located on the feet but can also be found on the hands, face, and ears. These points correspond to different parts of the body.
Receiving reflexology during pregnancy provides a break from your busy life, allowing you to focus on yourself and your growing baby. It can also offer comfort and stress relief.
While anecdotal evidence suggests benefits, recent studies indicate that reflexology during pregnancy significantly reduced pain during labor, shortened the first stage of labor, and improved postnatal sleep quality.
Reflexology can be used throughout pregnancy; we will take a full history to ensure that it’s safe and apprpriate to carry out treatment. We can liase with your midwife or doctor to ensure maximum peace of mind.
The first trimester is a time when there are huge changes in hormone levels as well as anxeties and conerns about the changes that are going to happen. Both of these factors may leave you feeling delighted, anxious, exhilerated, weepy, and exhausted – sometimes all at once. We will aim to aid relaxation, de-stress, and offer support.
In the second and third trimester, most of the discomforts of early pregnancy have gone; however as the baby grows you may begin to experience other physical symptoms. Your stress levels may also rise as the birth becomes more imminent.
Reflexology can be used for general well-being or to address other health issues such as sleeping problems as they arise. Of course we will also be able to be there to support you through any worries or concerns that you may have.
