PREGNANCY & FERTILITY
Holistic Pregnancy Massage
Treatment length options: 30, 60 or 90 minutes.
This massage has been specially designed to treat women after the first trimester. A holistic relaxing full body or back, neck & shoulder massage performed in a side lying position. Specialist training for pregnancy massage ensures relief and relaxation for you and your baby during this time. Giving attention to how you feel during different stages of your pregnancy, with special attention to positions and massage techniques for your comfort and safety during the treatment. This caring contact can be a vital support system at this time. Massage Pressure: medium.
What to expect from the treatment?
This treatment starts with you on your side with cushions for support to ensure comfort where the majority of the massage is undertaken. When both sides of the body have been worked on and relaxed (back, arms and hands, legs and feet) you will move onto your back for the remainder of the treatment (abdomen, neck, shoulders, face and scalp). At this time extra supports can be used for comfort under the shoulders and adjustments can be made into an almost seated position (depending on the stage of pregnancy you are at).
Treatment length options: 30, 60 or 90 minutes.

Maternity Reflexology
Treatment length options: 60 minutes.
A new life starts from the initial thought & intention, making this a very special time. Regular Maternity Reflexology can help support this process. This ranges from fertility problems, pregnancy to post-pregnancy. Each phase has associated symptoms whether it be morning sickness, fluid retention, postnatal depression, hormonal imbalance, muscle aches, insomnia or general tension. Other lifestyle factors contribute to & may influence the process of creating a new life. Reflexology encourages deeper relaxation for both mother and child and implements more defined techniques relating to the developing pregnancy & associated symptoms. I do not treat in the first 3 months of pregnancy as this trimester poses the most risk. Massage Pressure: medium.
Post Natal Reflexology
Treatment length options: 60 minutes.
Restore and balance with reflexology to target the bodies natural healing after your pregnancy term. This is a vital time to restore your bodies systems and to ease the rebalancing process. Reflexology can target these systems at this time. Massage Pressure: medium.
Fertility Reflexology
Treatment length options: 60 minutes.
Reflexology is a natural, safe and gentle technique that may encourage your body and mind to be in the best possible condition prior to conception.
Reflexology is becoming widely recognised as being beneficial for clients suffering with sub- fertility problems. I have been treating both men and women facing fertility problems and have seen how Reflexology can improve well-being combined with lifestyle and may improve the chances of a happy outcome with a normal and healthy pregnancy.
The Association of Reflexologists report that ‘on average about 50% of clients seeking help through Reflexology for infertility find themselves pregnant within 6 months of commencing treatment’.
