About the treatment

It is always advisable to let your midwife/GP know that you are receiving reflexology and at your first consultation a thorough maternity questionnaire will be completed, and after each session I provide you with information to put in your maternity notes.

The First Trimester – During this period the treatments are very gentle and the sessions focusing on relaxation techniques.

The Second Trimester - This is a wonderful time of growth for both mother and child and at some point during this trimester movement will be felt – a great time for monthly sessions, to support mum to be and the unborn baby.
The Third Trimester – week 28 until birth. Considerable growth takes place now. The baby is gaining weight, which can mean reduced mobility for mum. Ideally reflexology treatments should be given more frequently but in shorter sessions.
