I'm offering a 10% discount for the LGBTQ+ community during Pride month.

🏳️‍🌈PRIDE MONTH 2026🏳️‍🌈

Yes we know it’s Pride ALL YEAR LONG for our community.

Pride is a time to celebrate love, family, authenticity, and the incredible diversity of our LGBTQIA+ community. It is also a time to recognise that our community continues to face ever increasing barriers, discrimination, and attempts to undermine our rights, visibility, and safety.

For LGBTQIA+ parents, children, and families, these challenges are not abstract - they affect our everyday lives. That’s why Pride remains as important as ever: a celebration of who we are, a reminder of how far we’ve come, and a call to stand together in the face of inequality.

This Pride Month, we celebrate our resilience, support one another, and continue working towards a future where every LGBTQIA+ person and every family can live openly, safely, and with dignity.

You belong. Your family belongs. And we are stronger together.

Happy Pride Month. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Most importantly, be gentle with yourself. You’ve already been through so much to get here.

Everyone tells you to reduce your stress when you're trying for a baby.

"It will happen, if you stop being so stressed".

But how on earth do you do that when you're going through fertility issues? It's all consuming, and highly emotive.

Barbara Scott, our chair says "Fertility issues are stressful, and it's really hard to think of anything else. I advise my clients to immerse themselves in an activity that's all consuming. Anything from knitting to kayaking! Find something that occupies your brain completely. That in turn will relieve your stress, and give your brain something else so focus on."

It could be something new to learn or an activity that you love but haven't done in a while. Giving your brain a break by doing something else all consuming will bring down your stress levels.

When you are struggling to get pregnant, it can be easy to assume you are alone in your difficulties.

Sadly, this is not the case. It is estimated that 1 in 6 couples need support.

Of those couples, the difficulties are experienced by 1/3rd men, 1/3rd female, and 1/3rd joint. This means that couples have equal responsibility in taking care of their fertility health and well-being.

Many couples turn to complementary therapies to support their path to pregnancy, often alongside varying forms of assisted conception such as Clomid, IUI, IVF, and ICSI.

In a study* that we (The Association of Reproductive Reflexologists) carried out, 68% of couples conceived whilst receiving treatment with our therapists over an average of 11.32 sessions.

Members of the Association of Reproductive Reflexologists (MARR) are specially trained in Reproflexology™, using structured and prescriptive treatment protocols. It's a global membership, too, meaning you will be able to find a local therapist.

If you are struggling to get pregnant, you are not alone. Visit our website to find one of our reproductive reflexologists near you.

*The study was conducted with 180 couples, and the results are available to view on our website.

Someone commented on one of our posts to say:
"What is Reproductive Reflexology?"

Great question, and we’re glad you asked!

Reproductive Reflexology (Reproflexology™) is a specialised form of reflexology that supports fertility and reproductive health for both women and men.

👣 It’s much more than a foot massage. Our trained reflexologists use medical testing to guide treatments and monitor progress.

Treatments may help with:

✅ Regulating menstrual cycles
✅ Improving s***m quality and function
✅ Identifying and supporting underlying reproductive conditions

We focus on the whole person. That includes physical health, emotional wellbeing, and lifestyle factors, because every part of your health matters.

Whether you're trying to conceive naturally or using fertility treatments such as Clomid, IUI, IVF, ICSI, donor cycles or surrogacy, Reproflexology™ can offer support throughout your journey.

Many women come to see our reproductive reflexologists feeling frustrated and disheartened after trying to conceive without success. Often, they’ve never really been taught how the menstrual cycle works or how small imbalances can affect fertility.

One of the things we spend a lot of time focusing on is education, because understanding your cycle can make such a difference when you’re trying to get pregnant.

Alongside specialised fertility reflexology, we also support women with tools such as OvuSense and cycle tracking to gain a deeper understanding of what may be happening within the cycle.

We help women learn more about things like ovulation timing, progesterone levels, and luteal phase length.

The luteal phase is the second half of the menstrual cycle. It begins after ovulation and continues until your next period starts. During this phase, the body prepares for a possible pregnancy. If the luteal phase is too short or not well supported, it can sometimes make conception more difficult.

Something we see often is the impact stress can have on the cycle. Stress may contribute to irregularities or hormonal imbalance, which is why our approach focuses on gently supporting each phase of the cycle while also recognising the emotional side of this journey.

If you’ve been trying to conceive and feel like something may be getting overlooked, please know that support is available. You do not have to go through this alone.

Our reproductive reflexologists are here to listen, guide, and support you every step of the way.

You can find your local reproductive reflexologist in the directory on our website. We have members across the globe.

💙 Women seeking help and guidance during pregnancy.

On our website you can find a global directory of reproductive reflexologists, specially trained to support parents to be.

In addition to enhancing fertility by working with your own body’s mechanisms, Reproflexology™ has several physical and mental health and wellbeing benefits.

Couples who experience difficulties conceiving naturally often reach a point where they feel stressed, tense, anxious and exhausted. Reflexology is a relaxing, non-invasive complementary therapy, frequently found to reduce stress, alleviate pain and reduce symptoms associated with some reproductive health conditions.

Reproductive reflexology may help to regulate a woman’s menstrual cycle and reduce the pain and symptoms of PMS. Overall, it can leave you feeling calmer, more balanced and more able to sleep.

This is what our members learn about as part of their Reproflexology™ course work. It's not just the fertility enhancements it's working with the whole person, for both parents.
