Reflexology for Fertility & Reproductive Health
I have undertaken in-depth training in Reproflexology TM with Barbara Scott, Founder of the Association of Reproductive Reflexologists & Seren Training and author of "Reflexology for Fertility" and I am a full member of the Association of Reproductive Reflexologists.
​​​
Reproreflexology is a natural, non intrusive therapy that can be used as a stand-alone treatment for natural fertility or with conventional treatment such as, Clomid, fully medicated cycles of IUI, IVF, ICSI, Frozen Embryo Transfer or donor cycles. Whether you are having difficulty conceiving naturally or going through IVF, IUI, ICSI, Reproflexology treatments can support you through your journey.
What is Reproreflexology?
By focusing on the body's reflex points, this non-invasive approach aims to enhance fertility and overall well-being. Whether you're just starting your family planning or seeking additional support, Reproflexology offers a nurturing path towards creating the family you've always dreamed of.
Preparing For Pregnancy
When you are planning to conceive it is essential to increase your chances of conception and prepare your body before pregnancy. Many experts are now recommending that you should have a 3 month period before conceiving. This is called ‘pre-conception care’ this 3 month period is just as important as the pregnancy itself. The reason behind this time is that it takes at least 3 months for immature eggs (oocytes) to mature enough to be released during ovulation. It also takes at least 3 months for sperm cells to develop.

Reproreflexology Initial Consultation & First Treatment
​My aim is to provide a safe, caring and supportive environment where you can discuss your fertility journey in a confidential setting. I work by gathering as much information as possible, including past medical history and ask that you bring any medical blood test results and semen analyses results to your appointment.
​The initial consultation can take up to 2 hours. Before your appointment I will send a Pre-Conception Questionnaire which I ask to be sent back to me prior to the consultation. This gives me time to assess where you are on your conception journey. At your initial consultation we will use the questionnaire as the foundation of our session. Discussing areas in more detail, as well as your lifestyle including diet and exercise and how things can impact on your fertility.
Followed with an assessment on the specific reflex points on your feet.
We will discuss treatment planning and focus for your subsequent treatments and agree dates and times.
​​
It is usually advised for women to chart their monthly cycles using Basal Body Temperature (BBT) and ovulation signs & symptoms. This will be discussed at your appointment.
Through this tracking process we are able to identify what is happening through the monthly cycle and also see how reproflexology is impacting changes.​
​
A preconceptual programme of 3 months is the optimum timeframe starting with regular weekly sessions then moving to fortnightly over that period.

Feedback from some of my lovely couples
Each couples struggle has been very different. Amongst some of the successes have been woman over 40 years of age, woman who have had a history of miscarriages, secondary infertility and couples who have had several rounds of failed IVF and turned to reflexology as a last resort however went on to conceive naturally.
