Maternity Reflexology is Reflexology aimed specifically at women during pregnancy, labour and the post-natal periods.
Finding out you are pregnant is a happy time of joy and celebration but there are also times throughout the pregnancy when women may need some additional support - reflexology is one option for improving your wellbeing.
