Hayley Brookes is a
professional reflexologist specialising in infertility,
pregnancy and postnatal
care.
Reflexology is a powerful natural therapy that can help
alleviate many common pregnancy and postnatal complaints.
Reflexology can benefit nausea, back and hip pain,
constipation, anxiety, high blood pressure, insomnia and
fatigue as well as boosting immunity.
Recent research suggests that regular reflexology treatments
in pregnancy can help reduce labour outcome times
considerably. Reflexology can also aid recovery following
birth and may help with some of the symptoms of postnatal
depression.

Calm
Reflex are offering Reflexology and Indian Head Massage.
Both are holistic natural treatments which can help with
many of the common symptoms of pregnancy both in the early
and late stages. Indian Head Massage is particularly
good to encourage relaxation and relieve stress, improve
energy levels, release muscular tension and help with
sinusitis, insomnia and headaches. We are based in
South Birmingham, conduct home visits to the West Midlands
area and are a member of Embody

The worldwide Freecycle
Network is made up of many individual groups across the
globe. It's a grassroots movement of people who are giving
(and getting) stuff for free in their own towns.
Freecycle groups match
people who have things they want to get rid of with people
who can use them. Our goal is to keep usable items out of
landfills. By using what we already have on this earth, we
reduce consumerism, manufacture fewer goods, and lessen the
impact on the earth. Another benefit of using Freecycle is
that it encourages us to get rid of junk that we no longer
need and promote community involvement in the process.

Watsu therapy in
a private pool. Water shiatsu performed in lovely warm
water - this is the most amazingly relaxing experience, and
should be experienced for that reason alone, it does however
also offer amazing physical benefits, including back ache
and sciatica. Said by some to be similar to being in a
mothers womb! As recommended by Janet Balaskas |

Finance & wills |

Reviewing your
financial circumstances is always a good idea but especially
so when you have just had a child. You need to consider
whether you have enough Life Insurance, whether you want to
save money for the children for when they are older and also
consider making a will. You should also review your mortgage
to make sure you have the best rate available as you may be
paying to much per month.
If you would like to
review your finances please contact Geoff Wilkes at Geoff
Wilkes Financial Services Ltd on 01902 332446.
