Pregnancy is such a beautiful journey, but it can sometimes bring physical discomfort, stress, and hormonal changes. Reflexology treatments carried out once you are over 12 weeks pregnant can help to support your pregnancy health and wellbeing at this special time.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive therapy which focuses on specific pressure points in the feet, combined with soothing foot massage techniques to promote deep relaxation and support overall wellbeing.

How Reflexology Helps During Pregnancy

~ Reduces Stress & Anxiety

Pregnancy can be an emotional time, and reflexology helps to calm the nervous system, reducing tension and promoting relaxation.

~ Improves Sleep

Many mums-to-be struggle with insomnia. Reflexology encourages the body to switch off and enter deep rest, helping with sleep disturbances.

~ Reduces Swelling & Improves Circulation

As pregnancy progresses, swelling in the legs and feet is common. Reflexology can stimulate circulation, encouraging better fluid movement and reducing discomfort.

~ Eases Back Pain & Aches

As your body adjusts to carrying extra weight, back pain, sciatica, and pelvic discomfort can increase. Reflexology works with the body’s natural pain relief system to ease these symptoms.

~ Supports Hormonal Balance

Pregnancy hormones fluctuate constantly. Reflexology encourages hormonal harmony, which can help with mood swings, nausea, and energy levels.

~ Prepares the Body for Labour

Reflexology may help encourage a natural and smooth labour by promoting relaxation and balancing the endocrine system. Some women choose to have treatments closer to their due date to gently support the body’s natural process.
