Pregnancy Massage
In a time of immense emotional and physical change, massage, aromatherapy and reflexology can bring an enjoyable nurturing treat, and sometimes a necessary relief of minor discomforts to the expectant mother.
I treat expectant mothers in supported, comfortable and safe side lying and/or semi-reclining or seated positions to protect both mother and child, and use only essential oils that are non-toxic and that have been deemed safe for use on an expectant mother.
I start by carrying out a detailed consultation which will include details of previous pregnancies. I liase with the midwife, where possible, to ensure the best combined care of the expectant mother.
Pre–conception
For couples trying to conceive, naturally or undergoing assisted conception treatments such as IVF, Reflexology can be beneficial to clear blockages, and restore energy and balance, helping to create a favourable body ecology for a healthy conception, pregnancy and childbirth. I will always work under any guidance & advice from your GP, Mid-Wife & Obstritian.
Treatment focuses on the person has a whole (the man as well as the woman), exploring any reasons for delayed conception (especially where there is no medical reason for infertility) but pays specific attention to the endocrine (hormonal), nervous and reproductive system reflexes. I can also show you where you can use specific reflexes on your hands to work on in between sessions or where you are not able to attend regularly.
