There is nothing quite as profound as the journey towards motherhood. Healthy body and mind are the key factors to a healthy pregnancy. Focus on nourishing your body. Radiant health and wellbeing reflect an inner state of harmony and balance. Everyone wishes that they could enjoy optimum health and vitality. A loving family, a healthy diet, some activity, meditation and yes! – regular reflexology treatments will help ensure that you will achieve that.
The session is a very individual treatment which is tailored to you as a whole person. It treats the whole body, taking into account both physical and physiological factors that may affect your wellbeing.
The treatment will take up to 1.45-2h. And it will include consultation, guided meditation, either feet, face or hands reflexology, dietary and life style advice. You will leave the treatment room feeling positivity and calmness which are more important during pregnancy than just an even keel. It will help you cope with the demands on your body and mind, and benefits your baby in a variety of important ways.
It is not recommended to have reflexology treatment during first 12 weeks of pregnancy and final 4 weeks. Women are more susceptible to acupressure treatments during that time, it may stimulate uterine contractions. Reflexology should not be used in place of conventional medical care. Always consult a GP or other health professional for medical attention and advice.

As the pregnancy develops, there are a variety of physical symptoms that may show up. Some of them are: headaches, back pain, swollen hands and feet, neck and shoulder pain and many other. A pregnancy massage may definitely help to ease these symptoms.

* If your pregnancy is considered high risk, it’s not advisable to have a pregnancy massage. I don’t give massages in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. There is a risk of spontaneous miscarriage, in first trimester in one in eight pregnancies.
