Emily Blogs: Post Partum Reflexology - Why You Need It In This Time of transformation

My thoughts come to babies as the new Chinese year begins. It’s the year of the wood snake and a time of transformation. What a transformative time it is when bringing a baby into the world, whether becoming a parent for the first time or adding to the brood. 
Reflexology can be a wonderful support during the period following on from birth, providing a space for you to relax, rest and restore.
It can help the physical recovery of birth with 

• Hormone balancing, helping hormones to regulate 
• Improved circulation, aiding tissue repair and reduce swelling
• Milk supply - helping your breast feeding journey
• Post partum pain relief and digestion

Emotionally it can help reduce stress and anxiety, promote improved sleep and give support mentally, helping with mood regulation.
Sounds good doesn’t it?! 


Even better, babies are always welcome to join here at Claire King Therapies. We are set up with a cosy baby floor bed and have plenty of space for prams and carriers.
Also during any reflexology treatment they can be fed or held if needed and I often find they join in and settle into the relaxation of the space. 
Sounds dreamy doesn’t it?!


I can also show you reflexology points on their little feet to help with relaxation and common issues like reflux. 
Sounds helpful doesn’t it?!

Reflexology can really support you through this time of transformation, helping you feel more grounded and relaxed in your transition to motherhood.


Appointments are available on Mondays 10-4pm and Thursdays 1-7pm. I look forward to seeing you for relaxing post birth reflexology with or without your baby in tow!

Thanks for reading,
