Pre-conception, fertility issues
Reflexology as a natural therapy is an ideal holistic way to prepare the body for pregnancy. Reflexology may assist with conception by reducing stress and generally balancing all bodily systems to create optimum conditions for conception. Ideally both partners should be included in a pre-conceptual reflexology.
