With Lauren Slade    

Pregnancy is not an illness - however it can cause problems which can distress the pregnant women. These can include sickness, nausea, constipation, increased frequency of passing urine, backache and sciatica. Reflexology can be used to keep a woman healthy during pregnancy and the treatment can also help with the development of a healthy baby.

Providing and receiving reflexology to maternity clients can be a wonderful experience for both parties. Being involved with maternity clients offers a unique opportunity to be involved in the evolution of a family, whist the love, care, nurturing and healing offered with reflexology provides immeasurable benefits to all.

Many midwives in the United Kingdom are specifically trained now to use reflexology to help at the time of childbirth, particularly to help with pain or if birth is delayed or uterine contractions are weak. (Note: a midwife is a person who has successfully completed the prescribed course of studies in midwifery and is registered and/or legally licensed to practise midwifery in the country which she is located.)

It must be stressed that great care must be taken with the treatment of a woman who is pregnant, particularly if there is a history of miscarriage, or during a first pregnancy. The "golden rule of reflexology" definitely applies here - if in doubt DON'T! refer to a specialist.

This course serves as a useful starter point for working in this field. It is full of tips, hints and great information on pre-conceptual care (fertility and infertility) healthy pregnancy, labour, birthing and after birth care. A great body of knowledge to add to the skills of any professional Reflexologist! This is a very popular topic, so be sure to register today, reserve your place and avoid disappointment!
