Maternity Foot Reflexology Treatment
Maternity reflexology supports women through pregnancy (from 12 weeks) and the postnatal/postpartum period, helping the body to relax and rebalance. Treatment can support clients suffering from morning sickness, heartburn, pelvic girdle pain and many other conditions, as well as helping in the run up to, and after, the birth.
Hollie is fully qualified, having completed training with Sally Earlam. Treatments are mobile, visiting you in your home.
Your Maternity Foot Reflexology Appointment
Your maternity reflexology appointment will begin with a consultation, lasting up to 25 minutes depending on the complexity of your pregnancy. We will discuss your general health, lifestyle, pregnancy, and any conditions you would like me to focus on. This enables me to adapt your reflexology treatment to benefit you the most.
Reflexology is not suitable for certain conditions, and sometimes a shorter treatment or lighter pressure will be recommended.
After your consultation, if you are less than 20 weeks into your pregnancy or postnatal, you will be invited to take a seat in my Lafuma reflexology chair, which will then be reclined for your comfort. Next, your feet or hands will be cleansed, and I will wash my hands before starting your treatment.
If you are past 20 weeks, it is not safe to lay flat so we will discuss how to best position you for your safety and comfort. For example, you may be comfortable sitting on your sofa with cushions supporting you and your feet raised.
I use an unscented wax for reflexology in pregnancy, or a choice of scented or unscented waxes for postnatal clients.
As your foot reflexology treatment will work on the ankles and bottom of the lower leg, it is advisable to wear clothing that can be rolled up easily.
Your foot treatment will begin with a five minute relaxation sequence, followed by zone walking, before working through the reflexes and maternity sequences discussed during your consultation. Finally, the treatment will finish with an endocrine balance and a further five minutes of relaxation techniques. Your full foot treatment will last around 45 minutes. A reflexology aftercare leaflet will be provided at the end of your treatment.
Please note that I only provide maternity reflexology to clients who are 12 weeks (or more) into their pregnancy and have had their first scan. I am currently unable to offer reflexology during labour due to availability and childcare.
Foot and Hand Reflexology reviews
I can recommend Hollie, she approaches her patient with calm and kindness. She puts her patient at ease in a most professional manner. Her reflexology pressures are good, relaxing and comforting. I found the whole experience excellent.
Hollie made me feel at ease from the moment she arrived. Hollie was very careful to make sure that I was comfortable and explained what she was doing every step of the way. The treatments always made me feel very relaxed and I felt much less on edge in the following days than usual. Hollie was very knowledgeable and answered any questions I had. Thank you! 🙂
Hollie’s treatments are a calming and welcome break from the stresses of the day. She is pleasant and professional at all times. I was sceptical of reflexology, but Hollie was able to accurately pinpoint my ailments, explain her findings and make helpful recommendations.
I always look forward to my reflexology and acupuncture sessions. Reflexology with Hollie is a totally enjoyable experience, she gauges my mood perfectly and I feel incredibly relaxed by the end of every session – and with the huge bonus of now enjoying a good nights sleep with her regular treatment. Highly recommended.
Hollie’s reflexology treatment has benefitted me by inducing a relaxed state of mind towards the end of each treatment, allowing me to sleep better and feel more refreshed the next day.
Had an amazing experience with reflexology with Hollie, she made me feel really relaxed as she is so friendly and calm throughout the treatments. I will definitely be referring to friends!
Hollie is a lovely reflexology practitioner. She’s professional and knowledgeable. I can highly recommend her treatment. I felt relaxed and calm afterwards and slept better than I had for ages. Regular sessions proved to be very beneficial to my well-being.
What a truly lovely experience. I have a very stressful life and a few ailments. Hollie took all of this into account in my first consultation and treatment. The chair position was so comfortable and the treatment was absolutely spot on, with Hollie being totally able to identify my problem areas that needed attention. I am thoroughly looking forward to this essential treat in future with Hollie, thank you.
My treatment was amazing and I felt really relaxed while having it, and still feel it now. It’s a strange feeling as if my stress has been taken away.
