Maternity Reflexology - Stories

I have had many experiences with inducing labour and turning breech babies and here are a few...

Hi Louise,
Writing with florence on my knee! Basically after finishing treatment on thursday, mild contractions started 1 hr later!
The midwife (the prev day) had thought florence would take another week before surfacing as cervix wasn't ready, however my contractions increased in strength on Friday and I went into hospital 9am on Saturday. Florence was born at 11.11am Saturday morning!
I managed the whole thing without pain relief, including gas/air, due to great prepping by you! Didn't go up to ward afterwards and instead was at home at 3pm.
I totally recommend you to all women about to go through labour - you made the experience much more bearable & magical! Can't thank you enough.
Love Marissa xx


I had seen Mrs B throughout her pregnancy and she seemed all ready to go once the day arrived. For a few days after her due date we worked together to try and induce her labour. Unfortunately, to no avail. The only thing I felt was not perfect was the fact that she was had a pile of ironing to do and then she'd be completely ready!
After 4 days of Reflexology I joked with her that she would have to get the ironing done!
I didn't hear from her for 2 weeks but when I did, she said contractions started the evening she finished her ironing!

After one session of Reflexology and not much change in her contractions my client came back for another shorter and more focused Reflexology treatment to induce her labour. She rang me the following day to say that within 15 minutes of leaving my premises her contractions were much stronger and 4 hours later she was holding her newborn in her arms!

At 37 weeks Mrs T was rather fed up of the pregnancy and rather uncomfortable too. NOw that she was technically term we did some preparation-for-labour techniques.
Her son was obviously ready to get started in this world because she went into Labour the next morning.
