MATERNITY
REFLEXOLOGY
For most women pregnancy is a joyful time; from
conception to birth their bodies adapt with apparent
ease, whilst accommodating their child. For some this
can be a time fraught with mixed emotions whilst the
body reacts to the hormonal and physical changes that
pregnancy imposes upon the body. Anxiety, fear,
prolonged bouts of morning sickness or nausea, fatigue
and discomfort are amongst a few of the things that some
mothers experience.
Unlike general reflexology, maternity reflexology can
be safely administered by a fully qualified Maternity
Reflexologist throughout the entire pregnancy. They are
trained to read pregnant feet and work in harmony with
the baby; taking their cue from the baby’s positioning,
womb sac fluidity and the needs of the mother.
Maternity reflexology nurtures the mother through
gentle and relaxing treatments designed to help support
the body whilst it acclimatises to the changes that
pregnancy brings. It does not interfere with normal
pregnancy, hormonal
fluctuations but works primarily on maintaining a
balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic
nervous systems, which maintain homeostasis; the bodies’
necessary balance, at any given time.
Offering
comfort and stress relief, maternity reflexology can
help restore normal blood pressure, balance the
digestive system, encourage a normal breathing pattern
and stimulate the release of endorphins; the body’s own
natural pain relief. It can also help prepare the body
for childbirth, reduce the risk of post natal depression
and help restore the post-natal body back to its
pre-pregnant state without interfering with lactation.
Partners are encouraged to attend a pre-labour
treatment, if they wish,
to allow them to safely play an active role in assisting
mother in labour.
Maternity
reflexology can
also
play a role in your babies health should they encounter
any feeding or sleeping difficulties.
Please note maternity reflexology is complementary to
the care that your midwife, doctor or gynaecologist
provides.
Regular treatments throughout your pregnancy can help

"I
have been receiving treatment from Brenda for the last 5
years and can whole hearted recommend her for
Reflexology and Maternity Reflexology. She always
goes that extra mile to make sure you are well looked
after and puts in the extra time that you never
expected. Brenda controls all of my symptoms on a
monthly basis and without the treatments, my health dips
and eventually symptoms come back. Thank you for your
kind and caring ways, I have a happy family! My partner
is impressed she removed his addictions from 1 session."
" I started weekly reflexology with Brenda towards the
end of my pregnancy when I wanted to promote my general
well-being and help prepare myself for the birth. Brenda
is a kind, confident, holistic practitioner who provides
a wonderful service that I found extremely beneficial.
I'll definitely see her for further sessions in the
future. The hour-long treatment goes far too quickly! "
"Amazing experience,
haven't felt as relaxed as I did in a long time. Found
Brenda very helpful, very caring and happy to answer my
baby brain-fuelled questions, really friendly."
" I had my first treatment with Brenda yesterday
and it was amazing. I would recommend her for her
calming attitude, the fact that she listens to you and
helps you, plus all of the advice to take away was
exceptional - I will be returning again very soon!! "
