Reflexology for pregnancy is tailored to care for the mind, body and wellbeing of the pregnant woman and growing baby/babies. Not only is reflexology in pregnancy completely safe but it is also natural and non-invasive in skilled hands. It is such an effective way to restore and maintain ever changing balance during this time.

Pregnancy is a wonderful time for most women, but during the 40 weeks there are many changes occurring, both externally and internally. Although it is a joyful experience it can also be a challenging and stressful time. The mother`s body is changing quickly to meet the needs of the growing child. This is a time when she starts to think more about her health and getting fit and well. This is where the Complementary Health Practitioner comes into action!
