Maternity reflexology is simply reflexology used to nurture the woman and her baby on a physical, emotional and spiritual level – pre-conceptually, throughout pregnancy, the birth itself and during the postnatal period.
Safe, friendly and effective, the therapy offers a non -invasive solution to almost all of the conditions that can appear during pregnancy.
Reflexology is an extremely relaxing therapy which has been used for thousands of years throughout the world with quite remarkable results.
