About MATERNITY REFLEXOLOGY (Reflexology for Pregnancy - www.reflexologyforpregnancy.org)...
- Also beneficial following miscarriage
- Eases menopausal symtoms
WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?
Reflexology is an ancient natural therapy dating back thousands of years. It uses the subtle energies of the feet to bring balance & harmony, helping us to attain and maintain good health & wellbeing. It is said that our feet are like mirrors of our entire being.. “Quite simply, everything that happens in the being has a reflexion in the feet and everything that happens in the feet is relayed to the being” (S. Enzer; References: Maternity Reflexology Manual S. Enzer; 2004); S. Wagner (US Reflexologist)
What is the DIFFERENCE between regular reflexology and maternity reflexology?
- Every person is unique and so is every pregnancy. Throughout the three stages (trimesters) of pregnancy, Maternity Reflexology applies specialised techniques tailored for each pregnant client during their unique pregnancy experience;
- Maternity reflexology techniques target pregnancy related minor ailments to assist in their elimination or to relieve their symptoms;
- Relaxation techniques have been created and adapted specifically for pregnancy to calm both mother and baby;
- The Endocrine System is regularly treated, bringing hormonal & energetic balance, symptom control & relief for the benefit of both mother & baby;
- Post term (40 weeks+) clients can be treated with labour priming techniques to encourage the natural commencement of labour often preventing the need for medical induction;
- Can significantly reduce time spent in labour;
- For months following delivery Maternity Reflexology continues to bring balance & harmony to both mother & baby;
- Some of the techniques Maternity Reflexology has to offer can also benefit women approaching menopause/experiencing menopausal symptoms.
IMPORTANT: Maternity Reflexology is a complementary therapeutic support for infertility, sub-fertility & pregnancy and is not a substitute for obstetric or medical care. You are welcome to share this information with your obstetric caregiver/midwife. If you or they have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.
