I have undertaken and successfully completed a post-graduate course in Maternity Reflexology and so am fully qualified to treat pregnant women. Reflexology is a wonderful therapy to have during this very special time. (Reflexology is also helpful prior to conception to help balance the body and prepare the body for pregnancy).

Baby too can benefit from Reflexology. A very gentle treatment is given and it can help following a traumatic birth e.g. forceps delivery or very long labour; to help calm colic and reflux; sleeping and feeding problems; teething; constipation among other conditions. Babies generally sleep well following a treatment.
