Conceiving and giving birth to a baby is dream for many couples but for a variety of reasons the path to conception can require the support, guideance and expertise of medical & holistic professionals. The impact of anxiety, stress and pressure of fast-paced lives can make it difficult for mind and body to function successfully, as a result hormones get thrown out of balance, including those essentional for fertility.
Keeping stress and tension at bay have become a priority for couples who want to optimise their fertility and increase their chances of conception. Reflexology therapy has been growing in popularity with couples who are planning to conceive. Some fertility clinics may even recommend reflexology to their clients as part of their fertility plan. Health insurers provide cover for reflexology too s check your plan (if you have one) to see if you can benefit even more.
Along with regular reflexology therapy a healthy balanced diet is essential for optimising your fertility. Dr. Marilyn Glenville’s fertility nutrition books have come highly recommended. Dr. Glenville’s books and videos are available on line, she has clinics in Ireland and UK and is often invited to speak about the importance of nutrition in relation to fertility.

Before I became a qualified reflexology therapist, I was a fan. It was my treatment of choice for specific purposes. In a metaphorical sense, our feet are instrumental in moving us forward, I was committed to moving forward in a healthier way. As relaxation provides optimum conditions for the body to heal itself and carry […]
"What is Reflexotherapy of the feet and who is Hanne Marquardt?" 'Always remember', she paused for effect, 'you are treating a person not a body or just their feet but a whole person.'
