Maternity Reflexology provides you with the space and time to unwind, as you prepare for baby to arrive.
Since 2009, I feel privileged I have been able to provide maternity reflexology treatments to numerous expectant mums throughout their pregnancy in the Ashby area, as they prepare for birth. It is a wonderful journey to be part of and it’s so exciting when a client contacts me to share the news of their arrival.
Whilst you consider whether you would like to receive maternity reflexology, I have detailed some information for you below.
What is Maternity Reflexology?
It is an area of reflexology aimed specifically at women during pre-conception, pregnancy, labour and the post-natal periods.
Why Do Clients Have Maternity Reflexology?
For many of my clients they choose to have maternity reflexology, to relax and unwind in a relaxing space before baby arrives. Some clients may feel nervous, or worried, and my treatment may support them to relax and release some of the stress and tension they may feel.

I am Pregnant – What Happens Before a Treatment?
As an experienced maternity reflexologist I work in a complementary way alongside the skilled work of your midwife (your chief healthcare provider during pregnancy) and will ask you to obtain permission before reflexology treatments commence.
If a treatment is suitable to go-ahead I will ask you to complete an online form before your first appointment. This will help me to tailor the treatment for your individual needs.
What Happens During a Maternity Reflexology Treatment?
When you arrive to the treatment room at the Health Workshop, in Ashby-de-la-Zouch for your first appointment we will discuss your aims for the session and I can answer any questions you may have. You will also be asked to complete a data protection form.
You will remove your shoes and socks, and be made comfortable on the relaxing couch, with an option of a cosy blanket. I will apply a beautiful organic foot balm to your feet and you can begin to unwind. At this point, I may carry out a short breathing exercise with you, which may help to encourage the mind and body to relax. Many of my clients go on to use this exercise during their labour to help them relax if they are feeling nervous. Pressure will then be applied to the reflex points on the feet, as you unwind.
Many clients like to be peaceful during the treatment and some like to talk. I will always take your lead on this, it is your session and I want you to get the best possible outcome during it. It is also not uncommon for clients to fall asleep; this is completely normal and a wonderful way for mum-to-be to rest.
After I have worked the various reflex points, I will then massage the feet with the beautiful balm and wrap the feet to end – bliss!
You will have time following the treatment to ask any questions about your session and enjoy a glass of water.
Reflexology is a truly relaxing and supportive treatment during a pregnancy, and many of my clients leave the treatment room feeling refreshed and relaxed.
