Welcome to I Love Reflexology, my first venture into the world of blogging and somewhere that I hope to keep a record of my observations on my treatments, including techniques, comments and recommendations.

Reflexology to boost ovulation

This morning I carried out a wonderful reflexology treatment for a new client with the aim to boost her chances of ovulation this month.  The client and her husband are trying for a baby and she has an erratic cycle due to poly cystic ovaries.  After carrying out relaxation techniques and a full body treatment I then focused on stimulating the ovaries and linking to the pituitary gland.  Today was day 9 of the clients cycle so we were aiming to stimulate the ovaries ready for ovulation on day 14.  I carried out my Maternity Reflexology training with Susanne Enzer which teaches us to use both the direct and indirect ovary reflex zones and use a pinching type movement to stimulate.  Then followed by the pinching movement along with a pituitary hold to link them together.  I used these techniques first on the right foot and the client commented afterwards that while I was 'pinching her heel area' she felt a twang in her right pelvic area.  I explained that I'd been stimulating her ovaries at the time.  When I repeated the technique on the left side she again exclaimed that she could feel a strong twang type feeling in her pelvic area, this time on the left side!  We both felt so satisfied that she could feel a reaction  in the exact area I was focusing on - such an encouraging sign for both the client and myself :)

I can't recommend the maternity reflexology training by Susanne Enzer highly enough but if you can't get to the training yourself and would like to know more about the direct & indirect ovary reflex zones and the pinching technique why not check out her Maternity Reflexology Manual at Amazon.
