What is Reflexology?

Do you feel stressed, run-down, parts of your bodymindspirit not working quite as you would like them to? Are your imbalanced hormones wrecking havoc with your physical and emotional health? Would you like to prepare your body for pregnancy or are you finding it difficult to become pregnant? Would you like some natural support to make your pregnancy more comfortable? Are you looking for a natural solution to your health issues?

Reflexology is an ancient technique based on the premise that all the glands, organs, systems and parts of the body are reflected in the hands, feet and ears. These points respond to pressure, releasing tension and toxins in the corresponding area, thus stimulating the body’s own natural healing process.

As well as relieving complaints from common ailments, regular treatments used as a ‘preventative maintenance’, are the perfect way to help keep you in good physical and mental health, naturally. Remember, prevention is better than cure!

Women’s Health

Are you suffering from any of these symtpoms? Reflexology can help you:

  • balancing hormones
  • PMS
  • menstrual migraines
  • regulating heavy, painful or irregular periods
  • stimulating the return of absent periods
  • clearing the body of remnants of the contraceptive pill and re-establishing natural menstruation

Pregnancy

Reflexology is wonderfully nurturing and beneficial from pre-conception, throughout pregnancy, to after birth…for new mother, father and baby too! Choose Reflexology as your gentle, safe, natural therapy of choice to support you on this beautiful journey.

Reflexology can help balance and relax you during these months of rapid hormonal, physiological and emotional change. Find relief from:

  • morning sickness, heartburn (acid reflux)
  • nausea & headaches
  • pain & discomfort
  • backache, sciatica
  • stress & anxiety
  • sleeping difficulties & fatigue

  • hemorrhoids, constipation
  • for a calmer, more comfortable pregnancy physically and emotionally

(You actually receive 2 for the price of 1 here as your unborn baby also benefits from the treatments! You will definitely notice them wriggling around during a treatment!)

Research shows that women who have Reflexology throughout pregnancy can have a shorter labour and less intervention (research shows an average decrease of 4-5 hours in overall intervention and labour time).

After 38 weeks, Reflexology can be used to help encourage your breech baby to turn, if he/she wants to.

Reflexology is a natural therapy and won’t do anything unnatural, so it won’t make you go into labour if you and your baby are not ready.

Enjoy a happy pregnancy!

Labour

If you past your due date, Reflexology can be used to encourage and prepare your body for labour.

After Birth

The days, weeks and months after birth are both joyous and exhausting. Book in for Reflexology to help calm & relax you during this period of great change, increasing energy levels from lack of sleep, re-balance your body, aid lactation (breast-feeding) and help prevent post-natal depression by balancing the hormonal and nervous systems.

Please inform your Reflexologist about any pre-existing medical conditions. If you are in doubt, please consult your doctor.

Reflexology for Babies

Complementary/natural therapies are very effective for babies and children as they have no preconceptions, so they immediately relax into the treatment, enjoying the gentle touch of the treatment.  Babies and children respond quickly to treatment as they do not have the same build of up stress and toxins in their bodies that adults have. Babies love to have their feet touched and play with their feet!

Do you find it difficult to comfort your crying baby? Do you want a natural approach to help ease your baby’s discomforts and learn what you can do at home to help?
There can be many reasons why a baby is crying. Reflexology offers a gentle, effective tool to help calm and soothe discomforts. There is a natural way to help your baby’s body work things out and grow with more ease. Your baby (and you!) does not need to suffer from:

  • colic
  • constipation
  • colds
  • ear and throat infections
  • eczema
  • teething
  • difficulty sleeping
  • general unrest

To learn how to apply Reflexology techniques to your baby yourself from home (see my article in Vi Forældre for some basic tips) sign up for a workshop where you will learn these invaluable, simple tools.
