Fertility Reflexology for IVF & Natural Cycles

Fertility Reflexology is an area of specialism for me. I have supported many clients on their conception journey and have experience working with clients with unexplained infertility, PCOS, endometriosis, and recurrent miscarriage. Some clients use it to support and many go on to achieve natural conception. Other clients have reflexology to complement medical treatments including egg donation, IUI and IVF/ICSI, aswell as clomid stimulation.

I struggled with unexplained infertility myself. My infertility journey led to me undertaking assisted conception programmes, including IUI and IVF. Now a mother, I can draw on my unique experience to help you through the ups and downs of your fertility journey. I have been seeing women for fertility issues for over 9 years and as well as my Level 3 Reflexology Diploma, I have a Diploma in Pre-Conception and Pregnancy Reflexology and am a Baby Quest Practitioner.

“Jo helped me relax in a new way, I changed my sleep pattern very quickly and began to feel more relaxed. Then amazingly after a couple of sessions I found I was pregnant naturally."

What is Fertility Reflexology?

Fertility Reflexology is a calm, relaxing holistic therapy. It may help to ease any emotional or physical stress surrounding your fertility. Fertility reflexology can not claim to cure fertility issues. However conception is a complex matter of health and well-being and needs a number of things for both the mother and father to be ready and balanced in order to be successful.

Regular treatments may help you relax, de-stress, reduce your anxiety, aid sleep and get yourself in optimum condition for conceiving. It is essential to balance the bodies hormones and shift cycle irregularities, often caused by stress, to create the right conditions to encourage ovulation and conception.

Fertility Reflexology may also help you feel less stressed about procedures such as IVF and ICSI.

A study found that stressed women produced 20% less eggs during a cycle than women who were not experiencing symptoms of stress.

(University of California, 2005).

A study found women with higher levels of adrenaline had a 12% reduction in their chances of conceiving.

(Oxford University, 2011).

Anxiety can become all encompassing and this may also affect your ability to conceive. The longer the situation carries on, the more desperate the person becomes, the greater the stress and the inability to conceive can then be triggered. Reflexology may help quieten the mind and improve your sense of well-being.

An increasing number of women believe that fertility reflexology has helped them conceive. Many Gynaecologists and IVF clinics are now supporting using it alongside fertility treatments.

Fertility Reflexology is not a medical treatment and reflexologists cannot diagnose medical conditions. Although reflexology complements conventional medical treatments, it should not be used as a replacement for medical advice. If you are concerned about your health please visit your GP.

Is Reflexology for IVF safe?

fertility reflexology ealing Yes. Many of my clients use fertility reflexology as a chance to re-balance whilst undertaking assisted cycles. The treatment will be adapted to work alongside your drug protocol, IVF, frozen embryo or donor cycle. If you are not sure you can always check with your clinic first.

Fertility Reflexology is suitable at all states of pregnancy. However I would recommended, that unless you are already having reflexology sessions, after embryo transfer you postpone further treatments until you are 12+ weeks pregnant.

Being a first time mum, I was filled with anxiety about giving birth and everything that went along with it. I also suffered from SPD, which at times was excruciating and meant that I could only get around with the use of crutches. This was exactly the reason I sought help from Jo and I'm glad that I did. Jo taught me various techniques to help control my level of pain and ease my worries about labour. My outlook on motherhood completely changed after just a few sessions and I'm now calmer and feeling so much more positive about the whole experience. Thank you Jo!read more

I contacted Jo when I was around 36 weeks pregnant because I was extremely anxious about giving birth. I'm so glad I did. Jo assessed my situation and guided me though hypnobirthing exercises that I used during labour. These were invaluable when the day came. I was able to remain calm and relaxed throughout the labour and birth. The reflexology helped too, it was a lovely way to relax during pregnancy. If you are considering hypnobirthing, definitely go to Jo for her expertise and tangible exercises that will help when the time comes. She will assure you that there is no need to be afraid of childbirth.read more
