Antenatal Reflexology

What is reflexology?

Reflexology is a well-known and respected holistic therapy. Using reflexology points on feet, the therapist can help increase circulation, strengthen the immune system, help with hormone imbalances, and promote relaxation. Reflexology benefits are many and can help with conditions related to digestive issues including IBS symptoms, sinus congestion, headaches and migraine, stress, insomnia, back pain and much more.

Reflexology is an alternative to massage because it is suitable for all ages. The many benefits of reflexology mean that depending on your needs, you may find a course of treatments useful or monthly treatments may be best to help maintain your health and overall sense of wellbeing and balance.

Antenatal Pregnancy Reflexology Nautilus Beauty and Spa Marino Dublin 3

Reflexology during pregnancy

Antenatal reflexology is recommended by the National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street, Dublin.

Benefits include reduced morning/all day sickness, plus relief from heartburn, indigestion, constipation, haemorrhoids, lower back pain, sciatica, and symphysis pubis diastasis.

Antenatal reflexology also helps to prepare the body for labour by balancing the systems of the body, especially the endocrine system, which governs the labour process. Another benefit during pregnancy is that reflexology can help boost energy levels and promote better sleep. The length of labour can be greatly reduced by having regular reflexology sessions in the weeks prior to the estimated delivery date.

Jenny's warmth and friendliness is surpassed only by her knowledge and skill. The focus is very much on natural products and Jenny's passion for this is evident. Can't recommend the Reflexology enough - an hour of pure bliss and escapism. Feel very lucky to have this little gem of a place on my doorstep!

Nautilus has been an absolute saviour for me over the last 2 years. Self care is finally a priority for me and making my appointments at Nautilus is not just a luxury but a necessity. I have seen my regular massage and reflexology appointments have a wonderful effect on my body and how it works, and therefore a huge support in daily life for me. It's a lil date with me, and I looking forward to seeing Jenny and the team, every time.

Wow - truly amazing. This was my first ever reflexology treatment and it was way beyond what I was expecting. Without a doubt the most relaxed treatment I've ever had, and it was just my feet. Great feedback from Jenny on her observations, shes knows her stuff. I was definitely made to feel at ease. I have already booked in for more.
