been practicing reflexology
for the past 19 years and believes
she has helped over 60 women improve
their fertility rates and in turn get pregnant.
Reflexology helps to improve relaxation,
sleeping, improves your sex drive, regulate
your cycles and improve your flow and pain when
menstruating. This all added together is a perfect
recipe for helping women getting pregnant. After a
program that is specifically designed to your needs,
it can take from four to eight weeks to start seeing the
difference.
Reflexology uses the foot in sections, applying
pressure to each little part connecting to another part
of your body. Each toe a different area of your body;
you’re little toe connecting to your ear. The heel of your
foot connecting to your buttocks region, and the ball of
your foot your heart.
Reflexology can be dated back to 1913 in the USA

body, like a map.
According to clinical trials, reflexology
doesn’t help when it comes to medical
treatment, however its overall
effect does help in maintaining a
healthy balance.
Reflexology is becoming
more commonly
used
within
the
NHS,
especially
in maternity units. The NHS
Trusts Association (NHSTA) which
represents the Primary Care Trusts
including all NHS GPs says, “Many NHS
practitioners now endorse its use, some
recommending that patients consult a reflexologist
privately.”
Some reflexologists practice what’s called maternity
reflexology. Maternity reflexology is said to help
during pregnancy with morning sickness, back ache,
fluid retention, swelling, adjusting to the demands
of a new baby, increasing milk supply for the baby
and even helping the baby arrive closely to it’s due
date. Mira Britton, a reflexologist who specialises in
helping women get pregnant with the use of maternity
reflexology says, “Special techniques are taught
whereby you avoid some reflex points during some
trimesters and I use lots o
