Reflexology and Reiki
Reflexology
Reflexology is a 5000-year-old holistic therapy that has roots in ancient Egypt, China, Europe and the indigenous cultures of North America. By applying pressure to reflex points in the feet, we can access all of the organs and systems of the body.
Reflexology promotes the body’s natural healing response, parasympathetic nervous response, deep relaxation, improved digestion, improved circulation and is safe, non-invasive and compliments all other healing modalities.
Reflexology is not a substitute for medical care.
Reflexology For Fertility
I use Reflexology along with individualized diet and lifestyle suggestions with my fertility clients to help bring the body back into balance and promote healing. Reflexology is a wonderful complimentary therapy to IVF and other fertility treatments as well. It also benefits those with hormonal imbalances such as PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids and painful periods.

Reflexology For Pregnancy and Postpartum
Reflexology has many benefits during pregnancy. It can help reduce pregnancy related discomforts such as nausea, constipation, swelling and insomnia. It also increases blood flow to the organs including the placenta, helps to balance hormones, stimulates relaxation and stress reduction and prepares the body for labor. As you get closer to your due date, I work on the endocrine system to help optimize your labor hormones. Having regular Reflexology sessions during your pregnancy can help keep your body in balance and supports a healthy pregnancy and birth.
During the postpartum period, Reflexology is very beneficial to the healing process. It helps reduce stress, relaxes the body and nervous system, promotes deeper and more restful sleep, reduces swelling and promotes healing in the body.

“After two reflexology sessions the pain I’ve experienced during my period has improved. Now after five sessions I’ve seen a drastic improvement with not only the pain but my overall energy, sleep, circulation and digestion throughout the whole month. I believe everyone can benefit from Reflexology. It will continue to be part of my regimen to stay healthy.” -L.R.”
Reiki
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese technique that promotes relaxation, healing and stress reduction. Rei means “spiritual wisdom” and Ki means “life energy”. Reiki is a gentle energy therapy that helps bring the body into balance, clears energy blockages, reduces stress and tension, reduces pain and promotes physical and emotional healing. Reiki can be done in-person with a light touch technique, remotely over the phone, video or completely contact free.
Reiki can be beneficial for those on a fertility journey, during pregnancy and labor, in the postpartum period and for those who have experienced a pregnancy loss. Reiki compliments all other therapies and treatments and is not a substitute for medical care.
