True Living Reflexology And Birth Companionship

Reflexology, Maternity Reflexology, Birth Exploration and Companionship

Welcome to my facebook page, my name is Fiona Reilly. I have been a practitioner of complimentary therapies for over 12 years, during this time I have had the pleasure to work with many varied clients.

I believe that the body has a wonderful innate ability to heal itself, though with our busy modern lives the body can become out of balance due to stress, pain or illness. We frequently do not give our bodies the time and opportunity to heal, however help is available. Reflexology is a gentle therapy that encourages the body to naturally restore its own healthy balance.

Reflexology

Reflexology gently treats and heals the whole body through compression massage of the feet or hands. Reflex points on the feet and hands are linked to various parts of the body by meridians (a type of energy line). Reflexology helps to release blockages, tension and congestion in these pathways increasing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

Reflexology can help with a variety of life’s challenges and health issues, while regular reflexology sessions can help boost the immune system preventing illness and increasing energy and vitality. People find it helps to induce deep relaxation and relieve stress. Reflexology can assist in the following ways:

• Create a sense of wellbeing and relaxation

• Relieve headaches and other aches and pains
• Alleviate arthritis pain
• Balance menstrual /menopausal and hormonal issues

• Stimulate circulation and respiration efficiency

Reflexology is an excellent, gentle therapy with many possible benefits.

Maternity reflexology

Maternity reflexology is a specialised form of reflexology to help support the parents and baby from preconception to after birth. It is a very safe, gentle and non-invasive therapy though is not recommended during the first 3 months of pregnancy.

Reflexology can help to prepare the parents for pregnancy, by increasing fertility and sperm production and regulating the menstrual cycle. It can help to balance and harmonise hormone levels. Additionally it helps to reduce stress and facilitates relaxation. During pregnancy, maternity reflexology can assist in relieving many of the symptoms commonly associated with pregnancy such as:
• Morning sickness
• Heartburn
• Hormonal and menopausal imbalances
• Nausea and headaches
• Back Pain
• Swelling and discomfort
• Oedema
• Insomnia
• Digestive problems
• Menstrual problems
Reflexology can also greatly assist prior to and during birth, studies carried out in the UK and Denmark have shown that reflexology can speed up labour and dramatically reduce pain. It can also assist with encouraging the onset of labour.
While after the birth, reflexology can
• induce calmness and relaxation
• encourage well being and balance
• reduce pain
• increase energy levels
• aid lactation
• prevent or reduce post natal depression

Maternity reflexology is a wonderful, easy way of supporting the family.
