For some people the journey toward parenthood is an easy one. For others there are twists and turns along the way. Reflexology can be a means to help stimulate, strengthen and aid the correct functioning of the reproductive organs as well as encouraging hormone balance.

Reflexology can help both men and women reduce both physical and emotional stress and encourage the best possible health condition in order to conceive. It can also be used in conjunction with fertility treatments such as IUI and IVF.

Reflexology has proven to do the following to help aid conception:

• Reduce physical and emotional stress - couples trying unsuccessfully to conceive may encounter higher levels of stress, anxiety and depression. This subsequently affects the hormonal balance in the body and the end result can lead to irregular release of eggs, ovulation imbalances, dysfunctional sperm, and performance difficulties during intercourse
• Re-balancing the endocrine system (hormones)
• Stimulate the nervous system and spinal nerves corresponding to the reproductive area
• Stimulate the lymphatic and immune systems to encourage the release of toxins in the body and to help maintain healthy mucous membranes
