I am a little late with this month’s Blog, to be honest, I thought I had done it but checking today the 6th July Ops I had not. But actually, it is because the universe wanted me to share with you the amazing news this week.
Not one but two positive pregnancies were announced this week. Both clients have had different amounts of sessions, which is normally the case. Looking at past clients it ranges from three to 20 treatments for a positive result. So, when somebody asks me “How many sessions will I need?” I can’t actually answer them, it’s like how long is a piece of string?
What I now do with these clients is support them through their pregnancy. Mum and baby have a journey together and over the whole 9 months or so they go through many changes and the body needs to adapt.
Having reflexology during this magical time has many beneficial effects on both the baby and mum-to-be. Some research actually shows the stats about improving vaginal births and the need for intervention, by some amazing amounts:
| Reflexology Figures | National Average | Less Than 4 treatments | 9+ treatments |
| Vaginal Rate | 79% | 85.2% | 90.6% |
| Induction Rate | 21% | 14.7% | 9.4% |
| Episiotomy Rate | 15% | 6.9% (4-8) treatments | 6.1% |
I am now so pleased to be supporting these lovely mums to be through their pregnancies and onto their birthing time. Not only supporting them but giving them special times to connect with their unborn baby and also for them to have some ‘me time’ before the baby arrives when me time is a bit more elusive.
If you did not know that Maternity Reflexology was possible you do now.
