Maternity Treatments
During pregnancy your body is continually adjusting and sometimes needs a little help in the process. I often have ladies call me up, tired, suffering and desperate.
If you want to be free from aches and pains, relaxed and more likely to have a fabulous pregnancy and labour, this is for you!
For years I've been giviing ladies a copy of a wonderful study of Reflexology in pregnancy to read. Dr Motha, an obstetrician, pioneered the use of Reflexology for pregnant mothers in London in 1987. The study showed reflexology to be safe during pregnancy in terms of helping mothers to go all the way to term and beyond, with a reduction of the common symptoms of pregnancy such as high blood pressure, swollen feet, heartburn, aches and pains and headaches. Labour times were typically shorter; 89% of mothers had a normal delivery with only 5% being induced and numbers of caesareans were far below average too.

What my clients have to say
When I was six months pregnant with my second child, Isobel, I had ...symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) and also general back ache. After two treatments my symptoms eased. I continued treatments with Rosemary right up to the day Isobel was born, I finished my treatment at 12 midday and she was born at 5pm, very easily and with no pain relief.

When I came to you I felt stressed and tired and after only one session I felt so much better and more relaxed. My blood pressure was very high in the last weeks of my first pregnancy and resulted in being immediately admitted to hospital, medication to control it (and for a further 6 months after giving birth). This time, with reflexology, my blood pressure never faltered and even in the final weeks and days, my blood pressure remained at a very healthy level (and continues to remain so) - both my midwife and GP couldn't quite believe it!
I had a c section with both my pregnancies and the difference between the two couldn't be further apart. This time, 3 days after the operation my scar was healing very well and the area wasn't even red (again my midwife couldn't believe it). This time, I have felt very little discomfort, am able to move much more freely and remain pain free - what a difference from my previous experience! I firmly believe all of this is entirely due to your reflexology sessions! I can't say enough about the difference it made to my health in pregnancy and will be forever grateful for the experience, so much so we're even considering a third ...
