Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflex areas on the feet which correspond to all the organs, systems and parts of the body. When these points are stimulated, tension is eased, nerve and blood supply is increased and the body's own healing potential is activated. 

Maternity Reflexology aims to optimise your physical and emotional health, maintain balance during the rapid hormonal and physical changes of pregnancy and prepare your body for birth:

• First Trimester

There are lots of hormone changes in the body as well as a lot of mixed emotions while your body adapts to being pregnant. Reflexology can help to balance hormones and emotions by allowing the body to rest and reduce stress levels. It can also help to calm the body and reduce nausea and morning sickness.

• Second Trimester

Reflexology can help with lower back and pelvic girdle pain, constipation, as well as continue to help balance hormones and offer support for physical and emotional wellbeing.

• Third Trimester

Reflexology can help support the body and prepare for birth with sequences to help relieve lower back and pelvic girdle pain, constipation, lymphatic drainage to help reduce ankle swelling, and post-37 weeks aid preparation for labour.

• Fourth Trimester

The 12 weeks after giving birth can be a challenging time whilst your baby adapts to the outside world and your body recovers. Reflexology can help provide emotional support during this transition period by helping to re-balance hormones, as well as physical support by gently stimulating the reflex points of the spine, abdominal and pelvic areas to aid the body in restoring alignment.
