Reflexology and Maternity Time
Reflexology is very beneficial for pregnant woman. Studies have shown, that women who have regular Reflexology treatments during pregnancy have far shorter labours than those who don't.
Pregnant women undergo a myriad of physical and hormonal changes to cater for the growing foetus.Every system is affected;so its important for your health as an expectant mother and for the health of the new life inside you that steps are taken to ensure everything is kept in balance.
Reflexology can help with nausea,backache,constipation,poor circulation and swollen ankles,high or low blood pressure,fatigue,headaches,anxiety and other pregnancy discomforts/symptoms.Fluctuating hormones can be balanced using an Endocrine Balance technique.
Treatments are especially useful towards the end of the pregnancy in preparation for birth.Overdue dates and stalled labour can prove to be anxious times.By relaxing the mother and stimulating certain reflexes,labour often starts and continues naturally.
Postnatally,reflexology is helpful in many areas and can help with breastfeeding;encouraging good flow,and helping with engorgement and mastitis problems.It is particularly helpful with postnatal depression and can be very beneficial in dealing with fatigue,stress and anxiety issues.
With all the focus on the new baby,it is important to remember that the new mother needs cherishing and nurturing too.

-Correspond to the heart,lungs,upper limbs,solar plexus and chest.
-Generally relieve stress levels and cause a release in the feel-good chemicals endorphins.

Metamorphic Technique
Metamorphosis is essentially a self-healing art. It's not energy work or body work, a therapy or a form of reflexology. It is very simple to do, and the effects can be quite dramatic.
Metamorphosis is more about 'undoing' rather than creating. It is transformation in the purest form, releasing blockages to the point of balance.
The Metamorphic Technique presents a revolutionary way of looking at life, and a means to change it. Its during the nine months of gestation that the potentials of the human life are established. It has been found that by working on the spinal reflexes of the feet, hands and head, this formative period is brought back into focus.
Metamorphosis promotes change from within. It works from the inside-out.
