Q. Does it hurt?

A. No its based on the system of pressure points on the  feet and hands much like acupuncture only the points are stimulated by the finger or thumb pressure not needles, its very relaxing or stimulating.

Q. Do I have to believe in this therapy for it to work?
A. No you don't, you will receive reflex treatment irrespective of beliefs.

Q. Can I have reflex when pregnant?
A. Yes you can, in fact reflex between pregnancy and labour has been shown to have positive affects on perception of pain and durations of labour. However one word of caution,  the first trimester treatment should be given to an experienced and fully qualified reflexologist. Always check the professional credentials of any therapist. You should do this at any time time but especially during pregnancy, any professional therapist will be happy to provide this for you and provide copy of session notes for your mid wife. Any treatment during pregnancy should always be notified to your midwife.
