Fertility Reflexology

Reflexology is a very gentle non invasive, relaxing therapy which is useful for both male and female to have. It helps balance the body, relieve stress and help you to relax and cope through this very emotional time.

Many women have found that reflexology has helped to regulate an irregular cycle through the balancing of the hormones, especially were infertility has been ‘unexplained’. Medics such as Dr. Edgar Mocanu, Consultant at the HARI Unit, Dublin, regard reflexology as a necessity before embarking on fertility investigations. He recommends that patients and their partners have 12 Reflexology sessions (one weekly) before beginning infertility investigations. It has been shown by Reflexologist’s that some clients who attend for reflexology have achieved a pregnancy during this time span. Others have taken slightly longer and for some it has been a time of relaxation, support and less stress before embarking on their fertility journey.
