Reflexology
Reflexology is an ancient healing method that has become popular again in the past hundred years. The word Reflexology alludes to the basis of the technique – your feet and hands reflect your body.
Your feet and hands have reflex areas corresponding to the different parts of the body. These reflex areas form a map of the body representing the parts of the body on the feet and hands. The state of your physical and emotional health is reflected in your feet and hands.
Using different massage and pressure techniques on these reflexes can bring about a positive healing response including pain relief, hormone balance, relaxation and stress relief.
Reflexology is a holistic therapy that can address both your physical and emotional wellbeing. It works well on it’s own or as part of conventional medical treatment.
Best of all, reflexology treatments are enjoyable and relaxing. Many of my clients achieve a deep level of relaxation during the treatment and some even fall asleep . In addition to helping balance hormones, relieve pain and help you feel great, reflexology supports your immune system to prevent illness.
In most situations, the goal of a reflexology treatment is to bring your body back to a state of balance. When there is balance in our body, the organs and body systems can work optimally and we feel energetic and healthy.
How are reflexology treatments performed?
After a warm foot bath, you lie fully clothed on my massage table. Using pillows to support you and make sure you feel comfortable I work for a short time on your hands before moving to your feet.
How long is the treatment?
Most of my treatments are an hour long however I usually incorporate some reflexology into my massage treatments.
If you would like an hour and a half treatment, reflexology combines very well with other massage techniques including Sobada abdominal massage treatments.
Is Reflexology safe during fertility treatments?
Yes! I have trained with some of the best teachers in the field so I can confidently support you to improve your fertility whether your goal is natural conception or you’re undergoing conventional treatments, such as Clomid or with fully medicated cycles of IUI, IVF, ICSI as well as with donor eggs.
I adapt my treatments to the different stages of your cycle and your fertility treatment protocol.
Reflexology is very effective in enhancing the effect of the drugs you’re taking AND in reducing common side effects like bloating, mood swings, fatigue and heaviness.
Many women experience high levels of stress during fertility treatments and reflexology is a wonderful way of helping you cope during this time.
Is reflexology safe during pregnancy?
Yes! In fact, reflexology during pregnancy is a fantastic way to reduce pregnancy related symptoms like nausea, fatigue, prevent swelling and other discomforts and help make pregnancy an enjoyable experience.
Reflexology is safe at every stage of pregnancy even from before you even found out you are pregnant until the birth (and beyond!). Each treatment is tailored to your stage of pregnancy and helps prepare your body for an easy and enjoyable birth.
I have lots of cushions and pillows in my treatment room to make sure you are completely comfortable during the treatment.
On a personal note: my first experience with reflexology was when I received it during my very first pregnancy. I enjoyed it so much I decided to become a reflexologist. That’s how good reflexology during pregnancy can be!
I’m a holistic therapist and I am here to help you!
I love helping women to overcome their fertility challenges and other issues related to your cycles, pregnancy, periods and/or anxiety.
I treat women with abdominal and womb massage techniques known as Sobada (formally the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage) and reflexology.
I’m also an Advanced EFT Tapping practitioner and I work with women in particular issues around anxiety, depression, stress levels.
I teach Fertility Awareness to help women better know their bodies and improve their chances of conceiving or prevent pregnancy naturally.
I live in Modi’in, Israel and that’s where I spend my days helping women during their fertile years, pregnancy, menopause and other hormonal conditions. Bodywork sessions (massage and reflexology take place in my clinic in Modi’in but EFT Tapping sessions and Fertility Awareness education can take place online or in person).
