Maternity Reflexology

Duration: 60 minutes

What Can I Expect?

A truly wonderfully relaxing and nurturing treatment for the expectant Mum!

Even the most healthy and joyful pregnancies have a huge effect and put a strain on the Mums body.  A growing and changing shape affects posture, stretches ligaments and causes aches in areas of the body that a woman never knew she had!  Real tiredness is a concept that most women only truly understand as a pregnancy progresses.

This amazing therapy takes place in a reclined position on the plinth and the client remains fully clothed.  A blend of essential oils and shea butter is used as a gentle medium. The therapist relaxes the feet and thereby the physical, mental and emotional state of the client.  Focusing on the main reflex points of the body affected by the pregnancy.
