Treats for mums and mums-to-be all year round

It's Mother's Day time again.

Kidderminster is the home of the best mum in the world... my mum! I'm biased of course but mother's day is a great time to make a fuss and pamper the wonderful mums and mums-to-be in our lives. 

If its someone's first mother's day that's a really great time to give them the gift of relaxation! It's tough being a new mum and  I know I would have really appreciated some pampering. Mums-to-be don't have to miss out, pregnancy reflexology and massage are available too.  If you want to give a gift from a new baby then  baby reflexology and massage instruction really is a gift for all year round.

The history of Mother's Day is centuries old and goes back to the times of ancient Greeks, who held festivities to honor Rhea, the mother of the gods. The early Christians celebrated the Mother's festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent to honor Mary, the mother of Christ. Interestingly, later on a religious order stretched the holiday to include all mothers, and named it as the Mothering Sunday. So it wasn't just invented by the card companies to make us spend our pennies!

I love treating people to reflexology and massage that has been given to them as a gift, people really appreciate being given this wonderful time to relax. Mums and mums-to-be are so busy rushing around looking after us all that they often don't give themselves the pampering they deserve, so why not treat them?

Whatever you do for mother's day have a great one, and its a reminder to me that I shouldn't have to wait until mother's day to treat my mum!

Talking Maternity Reflexology on BBC Hereford and Worcester

Today I was lucky enough to be invited onto the Tony Fisher show on BBC Hereford and Worcester. Last week the morning show had a feature on traumatic births and this week they asked me along to talk about how reflexology can help woman achieve a happy healthy pregnancy, promoting positive pregnancy experiences.

It was great to have this opportunity to spread the word about complementary therapy in pregnancy. Maternity reflexology  really can help many women to cope with the strains of pregnancy, both physically and emotionally.  Swollen feet, sleepless nights, mood swings and back aches can all be helped with reflexology. It is an accessible treatment, just slip off your shoes, find a comfortable position and enjoy an hour of blissful relaxation for you and your baby.  Plus if you don't feel like going out in the cold then I can bring the treatment to you!

So a big thanks to BBC Hereford and Worcester for the chance to spread the word on the benefits of maternity reflexology.
