reflexology for fertility and women’s health

Reflexology is a deeply relaxing and nourishing treatment that can be great for supporting IVF, Natural Fertility, Women’s Health and Pregnancy.

It’s an ancient therapy with its roots in South East Asia. There is debate on how it works but the theory that makes the most sense to us is that we have so many nerve endings in our feet that by working into them we can send signals back through the body to send blood, energy, oxygen to these areas corresponding areas.

How does reflexology work?

Reflexology is all about balance. Getting your body back into the rhythms innately knows.

You maybe

• so busy that your hormones are out of whack and you’re having trouble sleeping
• running on adrenaline and we need to slow you down.
• your oestrogen and progesterone levels are imbalanced leaving you feeling lethargic, fatigued and looking for a boost.

Reflexology can help. When you’re deeply relaxed, your nervous system can settle into its parasympathetic state, sometimes also called rest and digest. Through reflexology and the nurturing power of skin on skin contact you can enter this deep state of relaxation. Clients often say there enter a dreamlike state and leave the session floating out the door. And with regular sessions they really start to notice positive changes to their reproductive health.
