I am a Maternity Reflexology Practitioner based in Kildare, and I am a member of VTCT & IRI.
Maternity Reflexology is aimed specifically at women during pregnancy, labour and the post-natal period.
During your pregnancy, your body will go through significant changes; these changes will affect the emotional, hormonal and physiological balance of your body.
Reflexology can help to alleviate or prevent discomfort arising from this imbalance and restore the body’s equilibrium.
Research has shown that regular reflexology treatments during pregnancy can shorten the duration of labour, with many women requiring less pain-relief.
Maternity Reflexology can assist with the following during pregnancy:
General relaxation
Relief of stress and anxiety
Increased energy levels
Ease physiological discomforts
Reduce heartburn
Relieve backache,
Nausea and vomiting
High blood pressure
Oedema (swelling, mainly of feet and ankles)
Ligament and groin pain
Symphysis pubis dysfunction
Sciatica
Constipation
Cystitis
Insomnia and sleep problems
Preparation for labour
Reflexology is covered by most healthcare providers, depending on your specific health plan, you may be eligible to claim up €30 off each session.
