Childbirth is an incredibly demanding experience, both physically and emotionally, and new mothers need time to recover. Providing loving support, nourishment, and care during the "fourth trimester" is essential to help mothers recuperate and feel well after childbirth.
Postnatal Recovery Reflexology
It's so important to prioritise self-care during this special time. Regular reflexology sessions can work wonders in balancing your hormones, boosting your energy levels, and promoting overall well-being. By taking care of yourself, you're not only looking out for your own well-being, but you're also ensuring the best care for your baby as you navigate the journey of motherhood.
Postnatal reflexology can offer a much-needed healing space for you, providing relief from childbirth and the opportunity to bond with your baby. You are welcome to cuddle and nurse your baby during your treatment, as this can help both mother and baby stay close and enhance relaxation. As you recline in the chair, your baby can rest in your arms, supported by comfortable pillows.
Postnatal Recovery Reflexology
"I was around three months pregnant with my second child when I started regular massage & reflexology sessions with Gemma. I knew that for the second birth, which I planned to have at home, I would need to feel supported, confident and relaxed and Gemma was excellent at building these foundations. She was incredibly encouraging and helpful with many tips on how to focus on having a positive birth experience and keeping in tune with my body during labour. The treatments helped to release tension and were so relaxing they often sent me to sleep! I have also continued to receive her support throughout postpartum, and had fantastic postpartum sessions for tension in my neck & shoulders which was fantastic and worked a treat!"
