If you are struggling to conceive, whether trying for your first baby, or a new addition to your family after a successful pregnancy, reflexology can help. The ability to conceive depends on many different factors, but optimum health is essential for both partners, to enable conception.
It is often at this stage that couples start looking at other lifestyle factors which might be affecting their fertility, such as: stress & anxiety, diet & nutrition, weight, exercise. Stress plays a huge part in fertility problems, leaving the body’s resources depleted. Hormonal imbalances can also seriously hamper your chances of conceiving and can contribute to conditions such as: PCOS, Endometriosis, irregular or no periods (amenorrhoea), painful or heavy periods and recurrent miscarriage.
Reflexology can help to:
- bring your body and hormones back into a state of equilibrium
- reduce your stress levels, allowing a state of deep relaxation
- work the reflexes relating to the reproductive organs to balance and clear congestion
- boost blood circulation to the reproductive areas
- encourage all the systems of the body to function efficiently
Our reflexologist, Georgie McCulloch has experience of supporting clients who are going through various different fertility treatments.
