Gentle pressure is applied to the reflex points on your feet to restore & maintain the body’s natural equilibrium, balance hormones, improve circulation & to encourage the body to heal itself leaving you feeling relaxed....
From the early stages of morning sickness to delivery discomfort, pregnancy can be physically demanding but with reflexology you can sit back, relax and let your body be revitalized..
I have had great success in easing morning sickness from the 1st trimester through to the 3rd – by balancing out the hormones you are less likely to feel nauseous and to vomit – The first two sessions for morning sickness will be 3 to 4 days apart and then should continue at 2 weeks, 4 weeks and then 6 weeks apart with little to no symptoms in between sessions.
by having regular treatments throughout your pregnancy it is possible to alleviate many of the other symptoms of pregnancy such as:
• Nose bleeds
• High blood pressure
• Sciatica
• Heartburn & acid reflux
• Swollen ankles
• Migraines & headaches
• Irritable uterus
• Can reduce the painful experience of labor
Reflexology has been recognized as having a particularly high success rate in the area of labor – research has shown that as little as ten sessions of reflexology during pregnancy can reduce the length of time in labor to as little as only 2 – 3 hours long. Mom and baby’s recovery time is shorter and both are more relaxed, giving baby a good start to life. Happy mom = happy baby !
** Please note this is not guaranteed as each birth is individual to both baby and mom.
I will also send you home with points that you AND HUBBY can work on in between sessions – specifically points for inducing labor for lazy babes !
Pregnancy is a wonderful time but please remember your feet hare taking a lot of strain and carrying more weight than they are used to so giving them some TLC is important for your whole well being.

"Gina has magic fingers!!
A good friend recommended Gina to me in my second trimester, I only wish I had found out about her earlier! I was suffering from terrible and constant morning sickness, I lost a lot of weight and felt truly awful.... Gina is qualified to perform reflexology during pregnancy and it really helped me, I noticed a difference in my nausea and vomiting from the first treatment session, eventually with her help the nausea and vomiting stopped altogether!
As the morning sickness settled and my third trimester started, my pelvis began to open up quite early and my hips locked-up completely. It became very difficult to sleep and walk and sit down. Yet again Gina came to my rescue with her pregnancy massages! With a lot of hard work from Gina the muscles around my hips relaxed and settled into their new positions... My hips relaxed enough for me to sleep and walk and resume normal activities! As an added bonus the massages were wonderfully relaxing and calming for both me and the baby!"

"I first met Gina in early 2006 when she ran a baby massage course for my NCT group. The course was fantastic, not only for enhancing the bond between the Mums and their babies, but also for strengthening the friendships between the Mums.
More recently, at 33 weeks' pregnant with my third child, I have called on Gina's services once more - this time as a pregnancy masseuse and reflexologist. A persistent sinus infection, the overriding symptom of which was a constant cough, caused me to develop a painful back, and trying to cope with two active young children (aged 3yrs 8 mths and 2yrs 1 mth) at the same time was proving to be both physically difficult and mentally demoralising.
In seven weeks, Gina has literally transformed me, to the point where now at 40 weeks' pregnant, and awaiting the imminent arrival of my baby, I am in good shape and fully prepared for the labor and subsequent demands of being a new Mum.
