Aromatherapy and Reflexology
Professional support from preconception through postpartum with a qualified aromatherapist and reflexologist.
Preconception wellness approaches using aromatic botanicals and reflexology can be used to support natural conception, including intrauterine insemination, as well as medication stimulated cycles and assisted reproductive technologies like IVF, GIFT, ZIFT, and FET.
Treatment plans may include weekly appointments, lifestyle medicine, and a combination of Eastern and Western botanical medicine approaches. Schedule a Clarity Call.
Reflexology and aromatic therapies can be useful during each of the three trimesters to support both the physical and psychological changes that occur during pregnancy.
Both modalities really shine when it comes to bringing ease to musculoskeletal discomfort caused by hormonal and weight related changes, easing digestive system discomfort like heartburn and constipation, and contributing to mental wellness in the face of anxiousness and stress.
