Life Cycles & Fertility Support |
With a strong interest in Women’s Wellbeing I am delighted to offer Reflexology for Life Cycles. Whether you are trying to conceive, are currently pregnant, peri-menopausal, menopausal or experiencing a painful or irregular menstrual cycle my goal is to help you navigate these challenges with more ease and flow.
Drawing on my specialism in Pregnancy and Preparation For Birth, Postnatal Reflexology, Fertility Support Reflexology and my experience in TCM Pregnancy Reflexology and Five Element Reflexology, we can create a treatment plan designed to hold and create space for change.
When trying to conceive and/or regulating the menstrual cycle it can take at least three months to see shifts. Initial sessions look to work weekly throughout one full menstrual cycle and then generally before and after ovulation.
I also suggest that fertility support clients, where possible, chart their BBT for three months which is discussed in more detail before your first session. For the menopause, I recommend weekly treatment initially dropping down in frequency as symptoms diminish.
For menstrual irregularity, conception and perimenopause I suggest one session to include Dien Chan Zone® Facial Reflexology. Working with the Reproductive Reflex map I will show you how to follow this map yourself at home. A gemstone Facial Massage Wand for self-care is included in the price of this treatment.
The Warm Womb
Certain patterns of deficiency, stagnation and/or cold body temperature may also benefit from Moxa therapy to the reflexes and acupressure points on the feet, legs, arms and hands. For conception it’s very important to foster a ‘warm womb’ environment which can be supported with Moxa on specific acupressure points and reflexes of the feet and lifestyle/dietary changes.
In addition, returning to the concept of flow in conception and menstrual ‘tuning’, patterns of excess and deficiency can impede Qi and blood flow in the body causing stagnation and pain. With Reflexology we aim to alleviate stagnation and create free-flow movement.
Integration of other treatment elements into Life Cycle Reflexology sessions may include (after discussion) point seeds applied to acupressure points or hot gemstone massage applied to the reflexes and meridians of the feet/legs.
Aromareflex hand-blended aromatherapy balms, created bespoke to your needs, can also be used for massage during your Reflexology treatment.
Combining Dien Chan Zone® Facial Reflexology and/or Gua Sha Crystal Facial Massage with your Foot Reflexology session is a beautiful treatment where emotional overwhelm is felt keenly. Both practices are extremely nurturing and grounding.
All Life Cycles treatments include a full consultation and follow-up general lifestyle advice both from a Western and TCM perspective. Initial sessions are 75 minutes and cost £75.
Where indicated, I may also suggest Acupuncture/Chinese Herbal Medicine with experienced colleagues to support your journey further.
