MATERNITY RELATED...
I had regular sesssions with Yvonne throughout my pregnancy and each session left me feeling more balanced, relaxed and more in touch with my growing baby. She eased my early nausea and I was able to see where my baby was in my pelvis before my bump was showing! My final trimester brought heartburn which Yvonne relieved for weeks at a time. My baby was having such a good time I had to be induced & I believe the reflexology helped me have the most amazing, quick, natural birth (TENS & entonox) and for my daughter to be a calm, contented baby and an amazing sleeper at 4 weeks. I consider Yvonne an essential part of my postnatal support network and have continued reflexology. In fact I don't think I can give her up! C.H.
Having gone overdue with my first pregnancy which ended in being induced and a ventouse delivery, I was desperate to avoid being induced again as I wanted a quicker and more natural birth. I decided to have a number of sessions throughout my pregnancy which helped me relax and manage the stress of my job. Towards the end of my pregnancy I had more frequent sessions to ‘tune’ my body into the reflexology and give the ‘induction’ sessions a greater chance of working. I then had ‘induction’ sessions. I began to experience irregular contractions following my 4th session and went into spontaneous labour 3 days later. The labour and delivery were quick and natural (gas and air only) which I attribute to the reflexology as this was a totally different experience to my first labour. Additionally my daughter was a fantastic sleeper – again a different experience perhaps also linked to the reflexology. A.L
Following a miscarriage it was taking a long time to get pregnant again. My cycle was all over the place and I was also struggling emotionally as the due date of my miscarried pregnancy was approaching. Yvonne helped my body to rebalance and I started to feel emotionally in control again. Yvonne was able to tell me when she could feel my body was ready to conceive again and I did - in the very next cycle. I continued with reflexology throughout my pregnancy and when I was told by my midwife the baby was back to back Yvonne tried a special technique to try and turn the baby and I am pleased to say it worked! I had a smooth pregnancy apart from some backache and believe it or not, the best thing was the birth! I had heard that reflexology during pregnancy can have a positive effect on delivery. Having had a difficult first birth, which was another back to back baby, I had to be induced and ended up as an emergency C-section I would say this second experience was VERY positive! I had a spontaneous labour lasting just three and a half hours from first contraction to birth, using only gas and air. I now have a gorgeous baby girl and have already started the baby reflex course! C.L.
"If you’re looking to experience the benefits of maternity reflexology, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Yvonne. She has supported me through pre-conception and is currently supporting my pregnancy. In my experience this treatment has without doubt helped to harmonise my mind, body and spirit... here’s hoping it continues to do so after my baby arrives! My advice? Put your feet in Yvonne's capable hands, you won't be disappointed!" S.E.
GENERAL HEALTH....
I would just like to say thank you so much. I came to you back in October with a neck problem that had been causing me trouble since a trip on a rollercoaster ride at Easter. After one session my neck was feeling so much better and it has improved so much with continued treatments. I have forgotten I ever had a problem. Having never had reflexology before and not really knowing anything about it - I have been most impressed. S.M.
Having regular reflexology has helped me massively. It has given me a mega immune system and also pretty much eradicated a long term health complaint in a matter of months. I love the relaxation part of it too, with my life being as busy as it is, it gives me an hour of time which is just for me and I can stop thinking about work, food shopping and housework. L.S.
The treatments help ease the stresses of everyday living & reduced the discomfort of the menopause for me. D.J.
Just wanted to say that, after my first session the other day, I had a period that for the first time in years did not involve uncontrollable pain. It was still painful, but I could handle it. This felt like a real breakthrough for me. The only thing I can think of that may of helped was the reflexology - so I'm delighted and will try and make another session soon :) D.L.
I found each session to be a really soothing and relaxing experience. I found that the culmination of sessions made my specific condition improve, which was the ultimate hope - and I can't wait to book some more! C.S.
I found the sessions excellent. They alleviated 95% of my symptoms and better still, they haven't returned almost a year later! J.S.
