Maternity Reflexology

[rosies]

I was flicking through the threads on this site and was interested to see that some have benefited from regular Reflexology treatments during pregnancy.

I have done further training in Reflexology so that I am able to work with pregnant ladies and yes, I have had some great results, as the ladies have too .

Relexology can help with sub fertility problems and then right through pregnancy, to help alleviate many of those discomforts, like nausea, back ache, pubic pain and even help to induce a reluctant baby after its due date!

I do have a web site with some more info, otherwise, i'd be happy to discuss stuff here ).

Love and Light

hmmm
heres that link
\linkwww.rosieweb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk{}

think this will work

then again maybe not!

i did wonder if maybe links are not allowed. it can always be copied and pasted though .

looking at another thread, bogwoppit, i see you have had reflexology. i hope you found it beneficial.

do let me know

after 14mths ttc I had reflexology around ovulation& round myself preg straight away!
going back for more during preg, but not during the 1st 12 weeks because of my m/c at 8wks last time.

would definitely recommend it.

I pride myself on my links. Here goes

here

There you go

well done, mears!!! thanks

i was treating a lady who was waiting for her FSH levels to be more suitable and after 2 treatments, things looked good. i am waiting to hear from her as to the success of the next stage.

you are probably sensible to wait, although reflexology cannot do your pregnancy harm. unfortunatel, what will be, will be.

best wishes

ahh mears you star ! I missed out a t in http!!!! duh!!!

Rosies, it's so great for you to share all that. Mumsnet has a very helpful way to get your services across, it's called advertising.. Sheesh you guys, just because you want what she has doesn't mean she shouldn't pay for the trolling and speaking to the market.

I'm trying to teach my son to recognize ads on tv for what they are. No hope if we can't recognize them here?

The love and light just got to me, I have to admit.

I find that I get links to work now because I cut and paste the web address to insert. I was always missing out something or other in the past.

I did notice the advertising element JJ but decided to see the response. Have you seen the non-member request option rosies? Means you can advertise but mumsnet gets a bit of cash from you, rightly so.

i daresay some would see this as trolling, which is a pity. all i want really is to let folk know that i am around. i looked into the advertising and it costs more than i can afford.

there are many interesting discussion topics here that i can also learn from, to help me develop my awareness. so, i hope, jj, you will give me a break here. i wouldnt worry too much about the tv advertising... if nothing else it teaches them how to recall facts, as my son is testimont! only from tomy, was one of his favourite sayings .

if i actually got any business from here, i'd be amazed. the chances of anyone living near enough to me is probably remote... but as i say, my main intention was to let people know reflexologists qualified in maternity matters are out there and this is also an interesting place to learn stuff.

as it happens, i am off to an NCT bumps and babes localish meeting this afternoon. no, i'm not getting paid for it but hopefully folk there wont damn me for letting them know i can help them, as they would be helping me.

as it happens also, my last name is light... so love and light means a little more to me than the new agers

I guess I never saw it as advertising. I have had reflexology for getting preg so have my own reflexologist.
I just thought it was good to find info out about reflexology without having to do endless google searchs to find relevant info just by using the link provided.

I had about 4 reflexology sessions when I went overdue with DS2, in the hope that he would be 'encouraged'. Have to admit I was a bit sceptical, but my independent midwife was a firm advocate, so i agreed.
Think you have to be really careful not to build up the hopes of a PG woman. My reflexologist told me 'I was very ready and would go into labour within 2 days' then 3 days later, that I would go into labour that night. A week later I was finally induced and ended up with a crash caesarian...

By the way, I spotted the 'advertising' approach. Hope you're a 'paid up' member of mumsnet at least!

good grief! this is actually an open discussion forum. i signed up and here i am.

i am sorry so many of you resent my being here. i would have liked to contribute to the board and as i say, learn stuff for myself.

i actually dont like it inferred that i am irresponsible in my approach to women and their pregnancies. babies come when they are good and ready, even medical inducement doesnt work sometimes. but, if there is a way to help without medical intervention, i think its good that women have that option.

i'll let you know when my advertising here makes my fortune /

rosies - I don't object to you being here - that is why I helped you with the link. If you feel you are not advertising your services, that is absolutly fine. Mumsnet is such a good site that we are all asked to pay a subscrition that we can afford to keep it going, which I have done.

Now that is said, can I ask you for assistance. There are midwives who are trained in Reiki in our unit but it cannot be introduced as a treatment in labour unless it is supported by the employers. It has been really difficult trying to get information on it's use in labour specifically. Do you know of anything written about it?

rosies - it is an open discussion forum, but it's run by 3 women who haven't managed to take a salary from the business yet, and who rely on contributions from advertisers and voluntary subscriptions from those of us who couldn't live without Mumsnet. And we have a long history of being slightly antogonistic to people we think might be taking advantage of the board to just advertise their wares.
But I'm sure you'll soon be completely addicted and posting about anything and everythinglike the rest of us.

Rosies - I'm sorry if you felt I was implying that you were irresponsible - that certainly wasn't my intent - apologies.
In fact I was just sharing my personal experience of Reflexology, which wasn't that great... The reflexology was OK - it was more the 'discussion' and 'chat' from the therapist... I was DESPERATE to go into labour spontaneously - that's why I was there in the first place, however this particular woman was (obviously unprofessionally) full of all her 'success' stories about how after her sessions labour had started. Of course, I shouldn't have believed her, but then the pregnant mind at 41 weeks is in a delicate state, and I so desperately wanted her to be right about her predictions. When I woke up the following morning still with bump I cried buckets! So, I was merely pointing out to people that while it may be a useful option to try, there are no guarantees (as you say).

its quite difficult to get the medical world to accept complementary therapies any time. my own doctor's comments were, " reflexology... i dont really know anything about it", end of topic! so getting recognition for reiki is going to be tougher. its a difficult thing to explain... something one needs to experience, i reckon.

as for the midwives, just because its not "accepted" as a treatment, doesnt mean they cannot be letting it flow. indeed, sometimes it just turns on when its needed. i doubt there is anything "official" written, but here are a couple of links (mears... where are you ?) that certainly discuss the subject. incidentally, healthypages is a good website/ forum anyway.

www.reiki-4-all.com/index.php?act=ST&f=14&t=412& (cant do this as a link... its too long... copy & paste time)

\linkwww.healthypages.net/forum/{}
their best bet is to speak to their reiki masters who can guide them and maybe give them more advice on how to get this into the system offically.

my maternity reflexology teacher was a midwife to start but then learnt reflex, went to australia many years ago and started using reflexology on ladies during pregnancy. she has devised the techniques and in fact, has helped deliver many babies, using reflexology to control pain etc. after i do that part of training, i would be able to go into the labour room (if allowed)... awesome, i reckon that would be!
