HAYLEY NICHOLSON REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology during pregnancy aims to optimise health and wellbeing and can ease common pregnancy related symptoms such as nausea, heartburn, pelvic girdle pain and constipation.

Recent studies have shown that reflexology in pregnancy
* Significantly reduced pain in labour
* Reduced the length of the first stage of labour
* Improved quality of sleep in post-natal women
* Shorter second stage of labour for women with lower back pain or pelvic girdle pain
* Reduced pain and stress levels for women with lower back pain or pelvic girdle pain who have had 6 weekly treatments
* Lowers anxiety scores of women in labour

Stress and anxiety are known to increase pregnancy complications, so reflexology is a wonderful way to focus on you and your baby while reducing stress during these deeply relaxing treatments.

Single treatments are of course available, or you can choose from one of my popular packages below.
