Fertility, Maternity & Baby Reflexology

Reflexology for fertility, or fertility reflexology, promotes to improve a person’s fertility by positively directing the flow of energy where it is needed. Reflexology involves manipulating pressure points in the feet order to positively affect a corresponding area of the body.

Reflexology is actually fantastic for reducing stress, which is very important if you are trying to increase your fertility and become pregnant. Stress can negatively affect your ability to conceive, whether it is worrying about becoming pregnant or just stress generally. Reflexology is known for being calming, relaxing and de-stressing. Without stress we can focus easier on the positive aspect of life. Reflexology is also great for balancing hormones, which can help with things such as encouraging regular menstruation, promoting ovulation. If you are undergoing fertility treatments such as , IVF, ICSI, GIFT, or ZIFT reflexology can be helpful to you. This is because it is a supporting or complementary therapy, and as such, will not harm the medical treatments you are undergoing or take the place of them. Reflexology can support your body physically, but just as importantly, it will give you needed emotional support, giving you the strength and positivity that you need in order to release anxiety and give the fertility treatment the best possible chance of succeeding.
Maternity Reflexology
Maternity Reflexology requires very specific training after a full reflexology course. Pregnancy is a time when the mother needs to be nurtured and cherished and this is one of the aims of Maternity Reflexology. By promoting good circulation in the whole body Maternity Reflexology helps ensure oxygen and other vital nutrients are reaching your baby. Maternity Reflexology works to put the mother in the best possible state to cope with the birthing experience and to make a good and fast recovery. Maternity Reflexology is well known for the natural induction for labour, and is provided in hospitals in many countries in Europe. Maternity Reflexology encourage the body to help with the many common ailments experienced in pregnancy including:
- Nausea
- Insomnia
- Leg cramps
- Backache
- Constipation
- High or low blood pressure
- Fatigue
- Headaches etc.
Maternity Reflexology treatments can start as early as planning conception, working with both the mother and the father. Regular sessions are recommended from the 2nd trimester, increasing towards the due date.
When for various reasons Maternity Reflexology is only started during later months, these treatments can still have significant benefits. After 38 weeks of pregnancy Maternity Reflexology can be given as much as 3 – 4 times per week to help with easy and quick birth. If the pregnancy does go beyond term there are techniques that can be used to get labour under way. Regular Maternity Reflexology sessions throughout pregnancy keeps both mother and baby in balance and harmony with each other.
Some reflexology points can be taught to partners for use during labour to help the mother focus and to give the partner something to do! Reflexology encourages the body with breast milk production and bring about the return of normal hormone function and help to reduce the incidence of post-natal depression.
