Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body to work with the brain and nervous system. This helps stimulate the release of the body’s natural pain-relieving endorphins, regulate hormones, improve circulation, and encourage the body to repair, and rebalance.

 

Reflexology

Reflexology involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet that correspond to different areas of the body. This can help support relaxation, improve circulation, and encourage the body to restore balance. I practise Reflex Zone Therapy, a clinical approach to reflexology that is particularly suited to supporting wellbeing during pregnancy.

 

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy uses carefully selected essential oils to support physical and emotional wellbeing. When clinically appropriate, personalised blends are created based on your individual needs to help promote relaxation and enhance the overall effects of treatment.

 

Moxibustion for Breech Presentation

For breech presentation, moxibustion may be recommended. This involves gently warming a specific acupuncture point using a herb called mugwort to support optimal positioning of your baby. Guidance and appropriate equipment can be provided for safe use at home, typically from around 34 weeks of pregnancy.
