Fertility Reflexology
Failure to conceive after months or years of trying is a very traumatic and stressful time for a couple. Often the thought of invasive and expensive tests to determine the cause can itself make the problem worse and further lessen the chances of achieving a pregnancy.
Reflexology has been shown to be beneficial in the following areas.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Recurrent miscarriage.
Anovulation.
Disrupts or stops ovulation.

Fertility/Digestive Massage
Fertility/ Digestive massage is a wonderful therapy for digestive and fertility issues. Along with massage techniques it brings together many other aspects of healing, many going back hundreds of years. These include reflexology, energy healing, acupressure and trigger point work.
The main focus of this massage is the abdomen and lower back and sacrum. These areas are closely linked and many fertility issues can be traced to disorders in the digestive system. This massage increases circulation, thereby boosting the immune system and helping in the elimination of toxic waste.
Immunity, digestion and fertility are closely linked. An immune system that is not balanced is said to be a huge factor in unexplained infertility and up to 80% of miscarriages. Digestion problems can result in absorption issues so many vitamins and minerals which are essential for conception are lacking.
Our reproductive organs are the only dispensable organs in the body and can shut down if the body is not functioning at an optimal level. This is to allow the rest of the body’s essential organs to work properly. The result of this is a failure to conceive.
Through the many techniques used in this therapy circulation is increased to the reproductive organs and digestive system. This in turn allows the body to get rid of a build-up of waste and stagnation. It promotes hormonal balance, breaks down scar tissue and increases a feeling of wellbeing as the body is brought back into balance. Hot stones may also be used on the abdomen and lower back.
Stress levels are greatly reduced which is also one of the leading causes of unexplained infertility. Stress stored in the body triggers a negative hormonal response which is detrimental when trying to conceive.
The treatment is very gentle and non-invasive and induces deep relaxation in the client. Better sleep and reduced anxiety are noticeable after the first session in most people. It is highly recommended by most Fertility clinics to have a course of reflexology before IVF to increase the chances of success. Combining it with this massage therapy and using specific techniques would also be very helpful for such clients.

Castor Oil Packs
Using castor oil packs can be very beneficial while trying to conceive.
How do they help?
* Inflammation can be greatly reduced if used regularly.
The oil is absorbed into the skin, this is helped by the application of heat to the area where the oil is applied.
This helps to get rid of stagnation and bring fresh oxygenated blood to the pelvic area.
It can also help reduce pain from endometriosis, cysts and fibroids.
Can be very beneficial before undergoing any assisted conception.
They can be used 2/3 times from cycle day 5 to ovulation.
Castor oil packs can also be used by anyone with bloating , digestive issues and constipation.
I am now offering them during a reflexology treatment.
I use cold pressed organic castor oil with the addition of essential oils for your particular need.
This will enhance the treatment greatly.
A pack with the blend is placed on the abdomen, a heated stone is also used. This will be left on for the duration of your treatment. There is no mess when using a professional oil pack.
