Maternity Reflexology - Jo Wood

"My first reflexology treatment with Nicky was when I was 28 weeks pregnant . Before Nicky started the treatment she asked a series of questions about my pregnancy to establish problem areas which she could address. I had been experiencing sciatic pains and oedema in my feet and ankles.  After just one treatment the sciatic pains went away, and did not return for the remainder of my pregnancy.  The swelling in my feet and ankles decreased, however as it was a very hot summer it returned after three or four days, and consequently I was treated for this symptom each week as I saw Nicky.  My experience during labour was very positive.  I did not need any pain relief and just used some oils that Nicky had recommended to rub on my back.  Both stages were quick and almost enjoyable!  Nicky is very informative about what she is doing when treating you, and she is a calming influence, and to have your feet rubbed for an hour is a true luxury, which in my eyes is also a necessity for a hassle free pregnancy and labour.  I would not go through another pregnancy without the support of Nicky and reflexology, it was just great!"
