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