During pregnancy organs within your body undergo certain amount of stress as your baby grows. You may notice this marginally as discomfort or experience it as very problematic.

This pregnancy package uses reflexology, creative healing massage and self-hypnosis to facilitate a healthy pregnancy towards an easy birth.

Reflexology and creative healing massage are given:

• Up to 26 weeks: - monthly
• 26-36 weeks: 2-3 - weekly
• 36 weeks - birth - weekly

Self-hypnosis should ideally be started early in your pregnancy so that you can practice in preparation for an easy pregnancy with a top up session during the last 2 weeks specifically for the birth. Partners or husbands may attend any of the treatments. They will be shown some of the massage movements as well as hypnotic suggestions that will help them feel more confident in supporting their partners during the pregnancy and birth.

Up to 90% of unexplained fertility problems are caused by stress. Stress causes hormonal changes in our bodies, which can prevent conception and the safety of the embryo in the uterus.

It is widely known that hypnotherapy is relaxing and helps to reduce stress. Relaxation increases blood flow throughout the body and to the uterus and ovaries, and helps the body to maintain hormonal balance. These physiological changes facilitate the implantation and wellbeing of the embryo. All this improves the chance of a healthy full term pregnancy.

Reflexology, like acupuncture, works on energy meridians ("life-force" or "Chi") running through the body. These energy meridians exit the body at the feet and hands. It is believed that if these energy meridians are "blocked" this could result in various ailments occurring. Reflexology is the application of pressure to certain recognised accupoints on the feet to re-establish the energy pathway. Because all the energy meridians exit the body at the feet reflexology is regarded as a whole body treatment.

Reflexology allows the body to go into a deeply relaxed state, giving the person a sense of well-being. It can be used to treat many symptoms.

• Stress & related Illness
• Managing physical changes in pregnancy
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Headaches & Sinus Problems
• Infertility Problems
• Hormonal Imbalances
• Cystitis & renal Colic
• Eczema & Psoriasis
• Constipation & Dyspepsia
• Decreased Body Immunity
• Delayed Healing
• Chronic Illness
• Insomnia & Anxiety
• And many others

Creative healing is based on the Stephenson Method of Natural Health Care. It utilises the powerful combination of creative visualisation and the intention of the healer's hands to actively manipulate "substance" within the body to create change or remove blockages thus allowing the body to heal itself.

Creative healing works specifically on targeted organs and their functions to feed, energise and strengthen organs and remove waste products toxic to the body.

In a session the creative healer treats the client in the sitting position with the exception of when working on the abdomen where the client lays on their back.

Creative healing can be a treatment on its own or in conjunction with other therapies. Like reflexology it can be used to help with all physiological complaints. It is particularly powerful in conjunction with reflexology for Irritable Bowel Syndrome to relieve symptoms or when working with women in pregnancy and infertility issues, to help them towards a natural and easy birth.
