THE NMF CLINIC : SPECIALISTS IN NATURAL THERAPIES

LIAT D ’ ELIA , FOUNDER OF NMF CLINIC AND SPECIALIST IN NATURAL TREATMENTS FOR HORMONAL BALANCE , FERTILITY , PREGNANCY , POSTNATAL CARE AND BODY WELLBEING CONDITIONS , ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT REFLEXOLOGY AND MASSAGE .
What ’ s different about reflexology at the nmf clinic ?
It ’ s all in the name – ‘ nmf ’ stands for natural maternity and fertility . Women deal with hormonal changes all the time . Ideally , your monthly cycle should be painless and predictable and as life progresses , you handle hormonal changes relating to fertility , pregnancy , birth and menopause with ease and confidence . Unfortunately , the stresses of modern life , health issues , and the environment in which we live can create hormonal imbalances that are painful and problematic . We use reflexology and massage therapies to get right to these symptoms .
What sort of symptoms do your clients face ?
Sometimes clients are dealing with known conditions , like pre-menstrual tension , premenopause issues or medical conditions .
Other clients have symptoms like migraines , anger or depression , which may or may not be related to their hormonal balance . We help relieve pain in conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome , allergies , arthritis and fibromyalgia too ; we can also treat general aches and pains .
What if clients are on medication ?
Lots of clients have often already seen their GP and may be taking conventional medicated treatments such as IUI , IVF or ICSI fertility treatments . We work with our clients to help stimulate or calm their bodies for a healthy response to medication .
How do I choose between massage and reflexology ?
This is a personal preference , but importantly , can also be because of specific issues that you are experiencing . Generally , massage is more appropriate for treating muscle pain , back pain , increasing lymph function and postural problems , while reflexology reflects a holistic approach to restoring health and balance to the body ’ s own regulatory systems via the pressure points on your feet .
How long do treatments take ?
First-time reflexology appointments include a consultation , you should expect a 90-minute appointment starting from £ 45 . Follow-up reflexology therapy takes 50 minutes . We offer lots of combination treatment packages too , which are great for recharging the body .
