Amazing Reflexology techniques for a pleasant pregnancy and a happy birth
With Moshe Kruchik, Reflexologist, Doula and Antenatal Educator
President of the International Society of Maternity Reflexology
Pregnancy is probably the most beautiful period a woman can live in her life. For some reason nature has chosen her body to develop the continuation of life. Her body is like a huge pharmacy able to provide with all the medicines she needs to promote the development of a pleasant pregnancy and a happy birth.
As professionals who care, escort and assist during pregnancy and childbirth, we aim that the
expectant mother lives this period in harmony with herself, with joy and full of positive energy. We aim that she feels happy in body and soul, and that this happiness reflects in the baby's
development and mood.
Reflexology is a touch therapy based on the principle that all the organs in the body are reflected in the sole of the feet. By massaging and applying specific pressure in specific points in the feet, we are able to help the body realign its own energies in order to find its own balance in body and mind. It is a pleasant and effective therapy, non invasive, friendly and extremely relaxing. The objective of this workshop aims to enrich your skills and your practice as a Doula. Based on an intense and enjoyable practice, this workshop focuses on the specific techniques able to cover a wide spectrum of situations in pregnancy and birth and provide with useful tools to be used while working with the expectant mother.
