I just wanted to say that I feel like a different person after two reflexology sessions with you. After pneumonia and swine flu I seem to have been left with some sort of low grade illness, just feeling "not right" and embarrassed to go back to my doctor yet again to treat something non specific.Within minutes of you touching my feet, my sinuses cleared and I started feeling better all over. The following day, I felt really unwell, but drank lots of water as instructed, and have been feeling wonderful ever since. The follow up session a week later absolutely confirmed that, and I feel completely re-energised, able to exercise again, and not tempted to spend large chunks of the day in bed, as I had done prior to your treatments. It sounds over the top, but you really changed my life for the better and I couldn't be more thrilled. Both my friend and my boyfriend will be booking with you this week.
Very many thanks, and I'm saving up for my next treatment.

Pregnancy Reflexology
FOR YOU TO ENJOY BEFORE AND AFTER THE BIRTH OF YOUR BABY
Jane is qualified to practice reflexology for maternity patients and uses some excellent techniques that offer support to pregnant women as well as post natal mothers. Jane is really enjoying working in this field as reflexology can help women deal with hormonal and physical changes of pregnancy, prepare for birth and encourage mothers to recover physically and emotionally after birth.
Reflexology is a safe and supportive therapy for pregnant women. A treatment encourages deep relaxation and is excellent for reducing stress, anxiety, tension and discomfort through out pregnancy.
Reflexology is about balancing the person as a whole. Therefore the woman’s emotional wellbeing will also benefit through pregnancy and after birth.
Reflexology may assist with easing pregnancy discomforts including:
- Backache and sciatica
- Braxton hicks
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Groin / Ligament pain
- Heartburn
- Insomnia
- Mood swings
- Nausea and vomiting
- Oedema (swelling of the ankles, wrists or fingers)
- Symphysis pubic pain
Jane recommends 6 weekly treatments before your due date to balance hormones and to prepare you for the birth.
If your baby does not arrive on time Jane can use PRIMING FOR LABOUR techniques after your due date to encourage labour.
Please inform your midwife/caregiver that you are receiving reflexology during your pregnancy.
A STUDY ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF REFLEXOLOGY AND PREGNANCY
A study of 593 women giving birth at a Danish hospital found that 89.7% of those who chose reflexology with no anaelgesic drugs, felt it reduced pain, with only 4 of them requiring additional pain medication.(Easier Births Using Reflexology." by Gabriella Bering Liisberg, "Tidsskrift for Jordemodre," No. 3, 1989)
This study also showed that not only can it help reduce pain but it can also help bring about labour, often without the need for further intervention in about half the cases. And as if that wasn’t a good enough reason to try this extremely relaxing and calming therapy, a further study has also shown that it can reduce labour time by over 60%. The study conducted in London by Dr Gowri Motha showed that women having regular reflexology treatments had an average first stage labour of 5-6 hours, compared to textbook expectations of 16-24 hours. It also found that Stage 2 and 3 of labour combined was less than 25 mins for those having had reflexology, compared to more typical experiences of 1-2 hours.
