Fertility

Reflexology cannot cure many of the underlying issues that are preventing couples from becoming pregnant, but it can provide invaluable stress management and emotional support to help you navigate your fertility journey. 

Anxiety, poor sleep, unhealthy habits, and digestive issues can all exacerbate the stress of fertility issues - for both partners. Most unhelpfully, the inability to relax can lead to low libido and intimacy problems in your relationship.

Reflexology can help both of you to relax, regulate your emotions, and encourage your body systems to work to their optimum. It encourages circulation and can ease the symptoms of endocrine imbalances. Many couples undergoing IVF or other assisted conception treatments find reflexology instrumental in their resilience, physical health and emotional wellbeing.  

Reflexology is gentle, non-invasive, and is considered safe to use alongside natural and medicated conception cycles. However it is entirely up to you whether you feel you would like a treatment at any given stage in your journey.

You and your partner may be considering a course of reflexology treatments to support your journey through fertility but be put off by the cost.  Please do contact me to discuss as my first aim is to support my clients.
