Pregnancy Reflexology in Sherborne
Gentle, Natural Support for Every Stage of Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a special journey, but it can also bring its share of physical changes and emotional ups and downs. Reflexology offers a natural, non-invasive way to support your wellbeing during pregnancy — helping you to feel more balanced, relaxed, and nurtured as your body prepares for birth.
What Is Pregnancy Reflexology?
Pregnancy reflexology is a safe and gentle form of reflexology tailored specifically for expectant mothers. By working with specific reflex points on the feet, this therapy aims to:
Ease common pregnancy discomforts such as backache, swollen ankles, and nausea.
Promote relaxation and reduce stress or Pregnancy Anxiety.
Support better sleep and overall wellbeing.
Encourage balance in the body as it adapts to each trimester.
Is Reflexology Safe During Pregnancy?
Yes. Reflexology is considered safe throughout pregnancy when carried out by a trained practitioner. Every session is adapted to your stage of pregnancy and your individual needs. Many women enjoy treatments as part of their self-care routine during pregnancy, finding them both calming and restorative.
Benefits of Reflexology During Pregnancy
Women often report a variety of benefits, which may include:
Relief from tension and stress.
Reduced swelling in feet and ankles.
Support with digestive discomfort.
Improved sleep quality.
A greater sense of wellbeing and connection during pregnancy.
While reflexology supports general wellbeing, it is not a substitute for medical care. Always consult your midwife or doctor if you have any concerns.
What to Expect in a Session
We’ll begin with a short consultation to discuss how your pregnancy is progressing and any areas you’d like to focus on.
You’ll then relax on couch while I gently work on your feet.
The treatment is deeply soothing — many women drift into a restful state during the session.
Sessions typically last around 60 minutes.

Can I have Reflexology Postnatally?
Some women experience a ‘low’ often called ‘Baby Blues’ a few weeks after giving birth. This may be caused by a combination of reduced sleep and hormonal disruption and fluctuation - this period is now termed the Fourth Trimester. Reflexology is excellent at helping to de-stress and calm the body, aiding sleep, rebalancing hormones and soothing you postnatally, giving you time to adjust to the arrival of your little one!
