Women's health

As more people struggle with unexplained infertility, reflexology can be used as part of a holistic approach to help couples become families.  We'll look at your diet, exercise, lifestyle and other factors that could be having an effect.

Together we can help:

• Balance your hormone levels
• Stimulate endorphin release (your feel good hormone) 
• Regulate your menstrual cycle
• Boost your blood circulation
• Improve your sleep

Stress and anxiety can be a huge factor when trying to conceive. The longer you've been trying to conceive, the greater the stress on your emotional and physical state, and a cycle is started. With it's calming and soothing effects, reflexology can be a highly successful method of helping to manage and reduce this.

The 9 months of pregnancy will put your body through intense physical changes and reflexology can help mothers-to-be stay comfortable during this time. It can also help a variety of issues including morning sickness, insomnia, dizziness, aches & pains, anxiety, tiredness and constipation.

I absolutely love helping bumps become babies naturally. It's great to have reflexology throughout your pregnancy, however, if you can only come towards the end of your pregnancy it can still help you feel relaxed and calm and help with any niggles you may be experiencing.

If you've gone over your due date and you haven't had any reflexology until then, it's still worth getting in touch. I've seen some mothers recently who've only started reflexology once their due date has passed and we've had lots of successful labours. Please get in touch to see if I can help you too.

Reflexology can be a wonderful  therapy  to help you before, during and after the perimenopause and menopause.  Relaxation and lowering your stress levels can help optimise your physical and emotional wellbeing as well as help you feel calmer. You should sleep better and have a sense of improved mood and wellbeing. 

Lifestyle  can have a direct result on the perimenopause and menopause each woman will experience.  I can’t wait to share some insights into how you can live happily, healthily and brilliantly in this next stage of your life.
