Once pregnancy occurs, Reflexology is a wonderful therapy to use during pregnancy and labour. It will not interfere with the viability of the pregnancy. Some but not all prefer to wait until after the twelfth week to avail of its benefits.
Reflexology promotes relaxation which greatly benefits both the Mum and the Foetus.
Some of the many Benefits of Reflexology during pregnancy are:

Nausea, morning/all day sickness,
Vomiting which persists past the three month stage of pregnancy.

- Indigestion,
