I have been trained by Sarah Holland (MAR) who is part of the Fertiity Reflexology Network . Reflexology works in a subtle way on a physical and emotional level and is especially beneficial for those experiencing fertility issues.
Fertility reflexology can be helpful for a range of things that can impact on a person's fertility such as:
•Polycystic ovaries
•Cervical problems
•Pelvic inflammatory disease
•Pre-menstrual syndrome
•Hormonal imbalances
•Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
•Stress related problems
•Menstrual problems
Reflexology is actually fantastic for helping stress, which is very important if you are trying to increase your fertility and become pregnant. Stress can actually negatively affect your ability to conceive, whether it is worrying about becoming pregnant, stress from other family members or friends, workplace stress and so on. Reflexology is known for being calming and relaxing.
Reflexology works in a subtle way on a physical and emotional level and is especially beneficial for those experiencing fertility issues. Perhaps you are feeling anxious and on edge a lot of the time and feel unable to think about anything else but having a baby. The calming and soothing effects of reflexology may help relieve this stress and tension and could be a crucial first step in "letting go". I believe you need to allow time to clear emotional blockages and address any lifestyle issues which could also be adding to the problem.
All aspects of your lifestyle are explored at your initial appointment and plenty of time is allowed to talk this through so that a treatment plan can be devised.
Reflexology treatments may also help by:
•Reflexology is great for balancing hormones, which can help with things such as encouraging regular menstruation, promoting ovulation.
•Enhancing the body's own natural healing abilities
•Encouraging all body systems to function efficiently
•Assisting the elimination of toxins from the body
"Nearly everyone can benefit from having reflexology during pregnancy", according to the Association of Reflexologists.
As a maternity reflexologist covering Bandon & Cork, I am able to support my clients' comfort and health during pregnancy, often working specifically to elevate common discomforts experienced during pregnancy and encourage natural and less intense labour in the later stages by using key Maternity reflexology skills as well as working to avoid the need for medical induction using specific techniques to stimulate natural labour. For comfort in the later stages of pregnancy or for those who would rather, I offer home visits for clients needing a maternity reflexologist in Cork and Bandon or nearby for prenatal or labour induction reflexology.
