About the therapies

Nutrition ensures that your diet contains nourishing foods which are absorbed and used by the body, so that healthy egg and sperm are produced, and then the requirements of both the Mother and developing foetus are met. The initial consultation will review your nutritional status and if necessary suggest tests to see if you have any deficiencies or toxic chemicals in your body. Supplements may also be suggested.

Reflexology is an ancient form of pressure massage performed on the feet. It can be very beneficial in preparing the body for pregnancy and staying healthy during pregnancy. It is a very relaxing treatment which can help to relieve stress in those wishing to conceive as well as during pregnancy. It can be very effective in helping to give birth at the optimum time of 40 weeks.

Osteopathy is a comprehensive and holistic system of health care which aims to integrate the function of the various systems of the body such as the musculoskeletal, circulatory, neurological and lymphatic systems. It utilizes different manual techniques to diagnose and to treat numerous physical complaints presented by both males and females of any age group. Osteopaths are trained to assess the body's structures, viscera (organs) and tissues, before applying the suitable structural, musculoskeletal, visceral or cranial approach to address any dysfunction(s) that may be preventing healing and wellbeing.

Herbal Medicine is the oldest form of therapy practised by mankind and involves the use of plants to treat illness. It has been used for centuries in the treatment of infertility and gynaecological wellbeing. A wide array of plants is employed to correct various imbalances in the body.

Acupuncture is the method of applying delicate fine needles (sterile and disposable) into specific areas of the body to aid the body’s own healing response (i.e. qi). Acupuncture has been used to enhance fertility and improve vitality since ancient times. This approach has now been validated by western scientific research.
