Thank you to the lovely The London Acupuncturist. Reflexology and acupuncture are a brilliant combination of treatments to have throughout pregnancy. Enquiries via hello@reflexologywithruth.co.uk
I couldn’t possibly not mention in my series of practitioners with magic hands in my corner of South London. Since working with Hannah when I was pregnant I have long been a fan of reflexology and I highly recommend it as part of my birth-prep protocol. Especially for those women who are working up to the last minute, or who have other kids and their opportunities to relax are limited. Stress, cortisol, can hold off labour and slow it down, so anything you find deeply relaxing at this stage of pregnancy is going to help ready your body (and your cervix). Enter reflexology. Unless you hate your feet being touched, this is a deeply relaxing and powerful treatment to have. Ruth turns up with her special chair, invites you to literally put your feet up and really helps you rebalance. It’s 🪄
