Reflexology is a gentle and nurturing therapy that may help support natural birth by stimulating specific reflex points connected to the uterus, pituitary gland, hypothalamus, and spinal points. By encouraging relaxation and hormonal balance, reflexology can support your body as it prepares for labour. Helping you feel nurtured, relaxed, and empowered as you get ready to welcome your baby.

 When to Start Reflexology in Pregnancy

Reflexology is safe and recommended from the 14th week of pregnancy onward. Many women find it beneficial throughout pregnancy to promote well-being, ease discomfort, and prepare the body for birth. 

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs, but generally:

• 1–2 sessions per week from 36 weeks onward may help prepare the body for labor.
• More frequent sessions in the final weeks can offer additional support.
• Some women notice positive effects after just a few sessions.

Benefits of Reflexology for Natural Birth

• Encourages relaxation and reduces stress, which can support a smoother labor.
• Stimulates the pituitary gland, aiding the release of oxytocin (the hormone that promotes contractions).
• Supports uterine function, helping to encourage effective contractions.
• Balances the nervous system, assisting in pain relief and overall comfort.

Important Considerations

If your pregnancy is considered high risk, it is important to consult your healthcare provider first. A letter from your consultant may be required before starting reflexology to ensure it is safe and suitable for your situation.Every pregnancy is unique, and reflexology is a gentle, complementary approach that works alongside your body’s natural rhythm. If you're interested in incorporating reflexology into your birth preparation, I would love to support you on this beautiful journey.

 Welcoming a new baby is a beautiful yet demanding experience, both physically and emotionally. 

Our post-natal reflexology is a deeply relaxing treatment designed to help new mums recover, rebalance, and restore their well-being after childbirth.

 This gentle therapy can be received immediately after a natural birth without complications, helping to support hormonal balance during the sudden post-birth hormonal drop. Understanding Postpartum Hormonal. The moment your baby is born is one of the most memorable milestones of your life. The length of labour doesn’t affect the overwhelming joy of meeting your baby, but immediately after birth, postpartum hormonal changes occur, impacting your body and emotions. In the first few days after birth, you may experience:

• A rapid decrease in progesterone and oestrogen levels as the baby is born and the placenta is removed.
• A peak in oxytocin levels, which occurs immediately after birth to help compensate for the drop in oestrogen and progesterone. This hormone plays a significant role in emotions, bonding, and maternal instincts.

These rapid shifts can lead to mood swings, feelings of exhaustion, and emotional imbalance. Post-natal reflexology is designed to help balance these hormonal changes, easing the transition and supporting your emotional and physical recovery.

•  Balance Post-Birth Hormones – Helps regulate oestrogen and progesterone levels to ease mood swings and emotional shifts.
•  Support Energy Levels – Aids in reducing fatigue and restoring vitality after labour.
• Encourage Better Sleep – Promotes relaxation, helping new mums rest more deeply despite disrupted sleep schedules.
•  Reduce Postpartum Swelling – Stimulates circulation and lymphatic drainage, reducing fluid retention.
•  Ease Muscular Tension & Stress – Helps release physical and emotional tension, supporting overall well-being.

Special Considerations for C-Section Recovery

If you have had a Caesarean section, reflexology remains a gentle, non-invasive therapy that can be enjoyed soon after birth. However, for safety, please consult with your doctor before starting treatment to ensure proper healing and minimize any risk related to post-surgical clotting.

This soothing post-natal reflexology treatment is tailored to support your body’s natural recovery, helping you feel calmer, stronger, and more balanced.
