Sara Proudfoot has successfully treated many clients wishing to become pregnant, naturally or while receiving IVF Treatments, with regular reflexology treatments.

“Sara helped me in so many ways. I learned to relax, manage stress and take control of my behaviour and my body. Sara helped me research, discover and understand new natural treatments to manage my hormonal imbalance. I truly feel reflexology helped my body and reproductive system to remain balanced and maintain the pregnancy. Now we have our beautiful miracle baby and I can’t thank Sara enough.” – Vicki, Polegate

Stress and Fertility

Sara’s ‘modus operandi’ is no secret – if you want to get pregnant you need to look at your lifestyle. Often the problem can be due to stress and anxiety. When you are stressed your body enters into a ‘fight or flight’ programme, going on total alert to ‘slay the dragon’ or ‘run from the dragon’ which causes the adrenal glands to release the hormone cortisol throughout the body and the blood supply to increase to all the sensory organs. With cortisol coursing through the body, other body systems suffer i.e. digestion, reproduction etc. Cortisol actively prevents the reproductive hormones from working!

Put simply, if your body is ready to ‘slay the dragon’ but you and your partner decide to stop and have sex because you wish to make a baby, your body’s reproductive system is not prepared for this because of the cortisol.

Stress and Reflexology

Regular reflexology treatments for you and your partner can help to switch off the adrenal glands which release the cortisol, thus reducing stress, assisting you to relax and giving you a helping hand towards your goal.
