What is a reflexologist?
Use this definition to understand the support before you compare practitioners or book an appointment.
Reflexologist
Foot pressure therapy
A therapist who applies gentle pressure to specific points on your feet, and sometimes hands or ears, that are believed to correspond to organs and systems in the body. Many women use it to ease nausea, reduce swollen ankles, improve sleep, and lower stress during pregnancy.
Questions to ask before booking
Do you have a specific maternity reflexology qualification, or is pregnancy something you cover as part of general training?
What can I realistically expect to feel after a session - and how many would you suggest for my particular concern?
