Reflexology in Sherborne, Pregnancy & Wellbeing Therapy

Discover expert Reflexology in Sherborne. Supporting Pregnancy stress and anxiety and overall wellbeing with gentle holistic treatments tailored to you

Reflexology is a gentle, yet extremely effective therapy practiced on the feet. It is non-invasive and totally natural.  It is a wonderful treatment to soothe the body during Pregnancy or to help the body recover from the trauma and devastation of miscarriage.

The focus is to stimulate points on the feet, known as reflexes, that correspond or mirror your organs, tissues and systems (such as your nervous or reproductive system). The treatment is designed to bring about a shift, change or rebalance in your energy and thus your well-being.  It is a very relaxing and safe therapy.

The treatment is adapted to work through each trimester of your pregnancy and can be extremely effective in alleviating pregnancy discomfort, anxiety or stress. It can:

  • alleviate many of the discomforts of hormonal disruption during Pregnancy

  • help to encourage the body towards labour

  • reduce pre & post pregnancy anxieties and post pregnancy ‘blues’, Fourth Trimester

  • reduce the impact of stress on the body, mentally, emotionally and physically

  • reduce anxiety and pain post abdominal surgery such as post c-section surgery (see Research)

Whether addressing the effects of morning sickness, or discomforts such as lower back ache and achy joints or swollen feet, Reflexology is wonderfully relaxing and beneficial during pregnancy.  It can help to address constipation, fatigue, heartburn, insomnia, sciatica and the emotional disturbances and mood swings.  As many of my clients have experienced miscarriage and the stress of infertility, I find that Reflexology is excellent at helping to reduce the impact of Pregnancy Anxiety, especially in the First Trimester. You can have treatment at any time of your pregnancy including during the first 12 weeks and especially when you get close to term.

For those struggling with early Pregnancy Anxiety, do have a look at my Hypnotherapy Self Help recordings, Pregnancy 1 & 2.

I also offer Self-Hypnosis audio recordings for Natural Conception, IVF including FETs and Pregnancy, 1st and 2nd Trimesters. You can find them by clicking downloads.

How can Reflexology help encourage Labour

Near the end of the third trimester, techniques can be used to encourage the body to go into labour. Treating you prior to your due date, on and around or post due date usually brings a great sense of relaxation and reduction in any discomforts, encouraging the body towards labour.

Postnatal Reflexology - Fourth Trimester

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!

When to have Reflexology

At minimum, a monthly treatment is advised however when addressing fertility and menopause, more frequent treatment will be optimal initially aiming towards a monthly session. We will discuss a treatment plan during your Initial Consultation.
