Reflexology
Supporting your Health
Reflexology is a complementary health therapy that can be effective in promoting deep relaxation and wellbeing; reducing stress in people’s lives can be key in optimising good health and building resilience.
It is a touch therapy that is based on the theory that different points on the feet, lower leg, hands, face or ears correspond with different areas of the body and reflexologists work these points and areas.
However reflexology is viewed, there can be no doubt that what it does provide is a period of time for relaxation where the client has one to one attention and supportive touch in an empathetic listening environment.
What’s the main theory behind Reflexology?
The principle theory behind reflexology is that all the systems and organs of the body are mapped or reflected in smaller peripheral areas, for example, the feet, hands, ears and face.

Fertility Reflexology
Dawn Rosevear
Reflexology is a particularly successful fertility boosting therapy when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and lifestyle. Apart from relaxation, it can also boost blood circulation, help balance hormone levels and regulate the menstrual cycle.
It is particularly useful in cases of sub-fertility and can be performed on both partners to promote optimum fertility. Reflexology can also help clients undergoing fertility treatment (IVF clients on medicated cycles). The increased blood circulation seems to enhance the effects of medical fertility treatment.

Sessions of 4 monthly treatments
55 euros per session or 150euros for the full four treatments.
Key benefits of fertility reflexology:
-
Promotes deep relaxation, maximising the chances of conception. Stress is a significant factor that affects fertility as chronic/ongoing stress causes the body to produce stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. These slow the production of reproductive hormones, making it harder to conceive
-
It helps to normalise the menstrual cycle and correct hormonal imbalances. By stimulating the reproductive organs, it synchronises ovulation and improves sperm production
-
It can help clients undergoing IVF treatment as the increased blood circulation seems to enhance the effects of medical fertility treatment. I work with clients up to egg transfer/implantation and then again after 12 weeks, once the pregnancy has become established
-
It provides a much-needed opportunity to escape from stress and worry. Many of my clients arrive despairing, upset and often angry about their difficulties conceiving. I am able to support them through these emotions and help them towards a more positive state of mind
-
Reproductive reflexology is for women at any stage in their fertility planning, whether they are enhancing their general health before trying for a baby, experiencing problems with conception or require help and guidance during pregnancy
Key Facts about fertility:
-
One in six couples in the UK experience difficulty conceiving
-
In over 40% of instances of infertility, the causes are unexplained
-
Fertility declines with age – this applies to men as well as women
-
After pregnancy, infertility is the most common reason that women aged 20 to 45 visit their GP
-
The majority of fertility treatment in the UK has to be paid for privately as NHS provision is limited and varies geographically
