FERTILITY
REFLEXOLOGY
Supporting you along your journey to conceive
Trying to create a new life is an exciting part of your journey, but it can become stressful, frustrating and irritating when we don't achieve the results we want in a certain period of time. Mental and emotional stress can affect the optimum state of health that our body needs to hold a new life. Factors such as being under constant pressure, stress, working long hours, poor diet and poor sleep can considerably alter our endocrine system which plays a key role when trying to conceive. These factors, amongst others, can affect fertility. Reflexology can be used as a complementary tool to boost fertility in both men and women.
What is Reflexology for fertility?
The feet can be a mirror of the body and this concept helps reflexologists to locate, through a mixture of gentle and firm pressure, the areas that need extra care. A fertility reflexology treatment is focused on treating the reproductive reflexes along with acupressure points and energy linking techniques that aim to balance the hormonal system.
How can Reflexology Help?
​
Reflexology can help to restore balance and harmonise in the whole body as well as providing support and relaxation during this often stressful period.
​
How often will I need treatment?
It is recommended to have reflexology regularly for best effects, and it is usually recommended to attend a session before ovulation and after implantation to relieve stress in the body and boost the fertility hormones. Reflexology is a safe and natural option that can be complemented with other medical fertility treatments.
It is advised to prepare the body 3 months prior to starting IVF and IUI treatments.
