Treatments
Common problems during pregnancy can be miserable, debilitating and tiring. Conditions such as sickness, heartburn, constipation, haemorrhoids, carpal tunnel syndrome, backache, varicose veins, oedema, sciatica and anxiety can be helped and improved. Other areas that can benefit from treatments are Breech Presentation and avoidance of induction when you are overdue.
Postnatal period problems such as breast engorgement, sore nipples, backache, constipation, haemorrhoids and "baby blues" can benefit from my treatments.
I have been trained by Denise Tiran of Expectancy Limited in such treatments as Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Moxibustion and Natural Remedies (Homeopathy, Bach Flower and Herbal) for maternity care.
I visit you in the privacy and comfort of your own home and discuss your needs. Following a review of your medical and obstetric history, agree on the best and appropriate treatment to help you. A particular benefit of visiting you at home is that you can completely relax, thereby getting the most out of your treatment.
For example: a relaxing reflexology treatment and/or an aromatherapy massage, along with my advice as an experienced midwife, can aid better milk production and successful breastfeeding. And, aromatherapy massages, well after delivery, are particularly popular as a treat from the everyday stresses and strains.
Charges: £25 per treatment plus travel. The unit price is reduced when more than one treatment is booked.
Postnatal & Breastfeeding Support Visits
I can offer visits at home to support you in the postnatal period. This is particularly useful for supplementing your NHS care, short hospital stays and limited community midwife visits. Close family members or friends do not always live nearby or are not always free to help and I am able to offer that extra support. These visits would not replace the checks by community midwives but are intended to complement them. I would suggest ideally two home visits, each lasting approximately 1½ hours.
Charges: £70 for two visits plus travel.
For those requiring extra postnatal support, you may wish to consider the services of an experienced doula. Please contact Hazel Logan.
