COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES

Our complementary therapists specialise in a wide range of practices that will support your through pregnancy, parenthood and beyond. All our practitioners have worked with the PPC for over a decade.

REFLEXOLOGY AND ACTIVE LISTENING - Fiona Reilly

An Active Listening Session provides a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space for you to share your experiences, a place to be heard and accepted exactly as you are. It is an opportunity to receive empathy, encouragement and acceptance from another, so that you may find your own understanding, solutions or ways forward.

Reflexology is a safe, relaxing and non-invasive therapy, it gently treats the whole body through compression massage of the feet or hands, encouraging overall balance and harmony. Reflex points on the feet are linked to various parts of the body by meridians (a type of energy line). Reflexology is deeply relaxing and helps to release stress, blockages and congestion in these pathways increasing overall wellbeing. Fiona has been practicing reflexology for over twelve years and continues to be amazed by the powerfully beneficial effect it has on people. It can be exceptionally relaxing and restorative – a truly beneficial support at any time from preconception to post birth.

Maternity reflexology is a specialised form of reflexology to help support parents and baby from preconception to after birth.
