This short feature concentrates on maternity reflexology regarding pregnancy, with next month's article looking at fertility issues and reflexology treatment through IVF and other assisted conception techniques. Research has shown that regular reflexology treatments can shorten the duration of labour with many women requiring less pain relief and less intervention. During pregnancy reflexology treatment can effectively relieve heartburn, back pain, headaches, nausea and vomiting, high blood pressure, swollen ankles, sciatica, constipation, cystitis and insomnia. In the post natal period many mothers experience an initial euphoria especially with their first baby and don't necessarily feel the need for reflexology treatment, however post natal treatment can be very effective in rebalancing the body after a great deal of physical and emotional change, it can also help to alleviate post natal issues such as stress and anxiety, constipation, inadequate lactation, low energy levels, post natal depression, backache, sleep problems, and hormonal issues. Reflexology can also be used to start the labour process. I tend to see women for this reason because they want the labour to start naturally and want to avoid being induced. This is perfectly possible but is best not left to the last minute, the ideal is to start treatment at around 36-37 weeks and have treatments weekly, although if you are 38 or 39 weeks before starting, the frequency of treatment would generally need to be increased. These treatment regimes are not set in stone, every pregnancy is individual, and after completing a full consultation with you at the first treatment I would make my recommendations, and work with you on a treatment by treatment basis to achieve the required result. I find once a mother-to-be has tried reflexology during a pregnancy, it is the first thing they think of having in subseqent pregnancies as well as recommending it to their pregnant friends. The treatment I give is medical or clinical reflexology, its primary aim is not to be a pampering treatment however it is a very calming and relaxing treatment for both mother and baby. With many mothers commenting to me that following reflexology during pregnancy their babies are very calm and relaxed and have good sleep patterns. If you are currently pregnant and feel reflexology could help you to have a happier and healthier pregnancy, with a shorter labour requiring less pain relief; instead of putting your feet up, put them in the hands of a reflexologist. Reflexology in Nantwich, Cheshire Following a long term interest in Holistic, Complementary Therapies I undertook an Association Of Reflexologists accredited course, training at the Anne Hammond College of Complementary Healthcare in Knutsford, Cheshire; and gained a Diploma in Advanced Reflexology. I am a full member of the Association of Reflexologists, being fully insured through the Association, and bound by their Code of Practice and Ethics. I am also registered on the NHS Directory of Complementary and Alternative Practitioners. I am very committed to my clients and helping them to achieve the results they desire through Reflexology, as well as providing a professional, caring and totally holistic treatment of Clinical Reflexology for Nantwich, Crewe and the surrounding area. I specialise in Clinical Reflexology (Also known as Medical Reflexology), unlike many other therapists, Reflexology is the only treatment I offer as I believe this enables me to focus on just one discipline and thereby offer the very highest standard of treatment. The treatment I give combines Precision Reflexology, Vertical Reflexology, Maternity Reflexology, and Advanced Reflexology techniques. My Reflexology Practice is based in Stapeley, Nantwich, Cheshire; which is within 1 mile of Nantwich Town Centre, and is also within easy reach of much of the surrounding area including Crewe, Haslington, Sandbach, Middlewich, Holmes Chapel, Audlem, Malpas, Tarporley, Weston, Wrenbury, Newcastle-under-Lyme; also Whitchurch and Market Drayton, Shropshire. I have extensive experience in treating a wide variety of conditions including insomnia, anxiety, depression, asthma, fertility issues and supporting clients through IUI, IVF and ICSI, ante and post natal treatment(Maternity Reflexology), IBS, constipation, arthritis, migraine, multiple sclerosis, ME, symptoms of menopause, PMS and menstrual cycle issues, back pain, frozen shoulder, oedema, stress and stress related conditions, hypertension (raised blood pressure), sciatica and foot pain including plantar fasciitis; to name a few, although this is by no means an exhaustive list. ![]() Before qualifying as a Reflexologist I worked for almost 14 years in a Chartered Accountancy Practice as a Tax Specialist so I am very familiar with the pressures of working in a stressful environment having to meet constant deadlines together with the stress of a daily commute, which so many people do these days; combined with trying to balance family and work life. It is estimated that approximately 70% of all illness is caused by stress, therefore most of us are likely to be affected by stress at some time in our lives. Reflexology can be very effective in treating stress and stress-related conditions and can thereby help clients to find the key to a less pressurised lifestyle. My interest in Reflexology and other Holistic Complementary therapies developed when I reached the conclusion that I needed to make significant changes to my own life in order to achieve a better work/life balance. ![]() 9.30am - 5.30pm Monday to Saturday CLICK HERE For Price List I would definitely recommend reflexology for anyone who is going through a stressful time. Whilst the stress doesn't go way, having treatment does help you cope with it better. I had a particularly stressful year last year and I found that my regular treatments helped keep my stress levels in check. To Janine Thank you very much for all the support over the past 9 months. Just thought I would let you know baby and I are doing really well. I have a content little baby thanks to your hard work. I moved to Cheshire in 2003, leaving my reflexologist of more than 10 years. I had almost given up hope of a replacement of the same high standing. Until now, I am asthmatic and arthritic and the care and advice I have received from Janine has been outstanding. I now know excellence can be found a second time around. "I had reflexology every week throughout my pregnancy, it helped to keep my body balanced and kept me relaxed. the breathing techniques I practiced in reflexology helped me in labour. I strongly believe that reflexology has helped my new born be a very calm baby." Thank you so much for what you have done for me already, am feeling brilliant and a lot better thanks to you working your magic on my feet. I look forward to having more sessions and to keep feeling this way, healthy for once. Janine is a very professional, knowledgable person with the ability to give instant calm and reassurance. I visit Janine to control my stress levels, rid my back of pain and generally make myself feel better - like having an M.O.T. once a month! As good as acupuncture without having the needles! I had reflexology with Janine when I was pregnant, and as well as other aches and pains, Janine was able to relieve the lower back pain so common during pregnancy. Sitting comfortably for an hour chatting to Janine while she worked her magic was a great escape from everyday issues - I always felt extremely relaxed afterwards, and then energised the next day. My birth was totally calm and I am sure the reason why my daughter is so chilled out is because of the treatments I had during the pregnancy. I would totally recommend it to anyone - pregnant or not. I have really enjoyed my reflexology treatments and feel that they have been very beneficial in decreasing stress, helping me sleep and generally improving my sense of well being. Janine is very calm, professional and welcoming and makes the whole experience very relaxing. I would recommend anyone to try a treatment, as I was amazed at how much difference they make. Hi Janine I have been delighted with the results and rewards attained via your Reflexology treatments. Your professionalism and warmth are a great asset to the profession and I would thoroughly recommend the treatment to anybody. The therapy room itself is relaxing and comfortable which further helps to de-stress both mind and body. I had been suffering from kidney complaints and found reflexology beneficial in addressing the problem. Many thanks I started having reflexology with Janine Young about six months ago. I was feeling very low and generally just 'runned down.' Within a few sessions I was starting to feel much better in myself and had more energy. I have started exercising and drinking lots of water daily and I feel much better in myself. I could not reccommend Janine strongly enough. She is a wonderful reflexologist and a great listener and friend. I feel that I am turning a corner in my general health and wellbeing and having been on and off anti-depressants for years I now feel less dependant on them. I swear it is all down to reflexology. Thank you Janine...you're the best! Dear Janine I would like to put in writing how pleased I have been with my treatments to date. My first one with you certainly changed my feelings during a time of great distress. As you know I had to place my mother in a Care Home, which resulted in a lot of stress both myself and with my sister. I found your approach so professional and talking to someone not related was a great bonus. It lifted my stress following my treatment and my sister and I are yet again great friends. I have also noted that I am a lot more positive to life itself now. The treatments have always left me feeling totally relaxed and stress free. Thank you once again. Regards Since moving to Stapeley last year I have received regular treatments from Janine Young. Janine offers treatment in a wonderful tranquil, relaxing setting. She is totally committed to reflexology offering a service which is professional, confidential and above all caring. Reflexology is a must try for those seeking an alternative to conventional drug treatments and those simply needing a de-stress. For some 20 years I relied upon treatments such as osteopathy and physiotherapy to help relieve the symptoms and pain associated with back and neck problems. Following a consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon I was advised not to undergo further osteopathy treatment for my condition. Having sought alternative treatments such as acupuncture and cranial osteopathy, both of which were unsuccessful, I turned to reflexology. For the past 7 years I have endeavoured to have at least one treatment a month progressing to a weekly basis at times when my symptoms have worsened. In between times I use the reflexology points on my hands to help relieve pain. Reflexology is a totally non invasive therapy with absolutely no side effects. Not only has it helped me with pain management but it was also hugely successful in helping me cope with morning sickness (In actual fact i didn't have any!!) I do not know or understand the reasons why reflexology works for me. I am just grateful that it does. I am a qualified reflexologist, and in January of this year sought help for myself as I was suffering from anxiety. I found Janine very calming and reassuring a quality I offer but have in the past failed to get from other therapists. I am glad to say I am well on the road to recovering my own well being. A part of that is due to Janine and her expertise, knowing I was in safe hands has been marvellous. I would thoroughly recommend Janine to all therapists out there, which is surely praise indeed. A big thank you for your healing hands and an understanding ear. I first decided to see Janine as I was suffering work related stress. After about four treatments the positive effects were really noticeable, all the same issues were there but I felt far less stressed by work and have felt generally calmer and able to think more clearly in pressure situations. My sleep pattern has also improved greatly. I have continued with reflexology treatment and as I have improved the sessions have not needed to be so frequent. Currently I just have a treatment once a month. Reflexology has reduced my stress levels massively and i would recommend anyone suffering any type of stress to try it. It is the most relaxing treatment I have ever experienced. Reflexology has made an incredible difference to a life-long sufferance of constipation. After just 2 sessions the results were brilliant. I was delighted to have found a natural remedy after having tried so many different medicines. Not only that but when my new born baby was suffering with colic we massaged his tiny feet using reflexology techniques, and I'm sure it made a difference! CLICK HERE For More Testimonials |
