“Spas Are Fertile Ground for Options
The Olive Leaf Wholeness Center now offers a natural fertility program which uses holistic health approaches to help women become pregnant. The fertility program is led by Vera Krijn, a reflexologist, who said she has helped 32 women to date in becoming pregnant.
“Reflexology helps with stress reduction, and stress affects our reproductive system,” Krijn said. “The program is a holistic approach, that includes nutrition and promotes Fertility Awareness”.

“Vera says “I have been practicing and teaching reflexology for over fifteen years and I got interested in the work of Dr. Gowri Mohta” - an obstetrician in London, and pioneer of the water birth- who first introduced reflexology treatments during and after pregnancy. Dr. Mohta found that reflexology dramatically reduced several pregnancy issues, including high blood pressure, fluid retention, heartburn, backache, constipation and fatigue. After giving birth, the balancing and restoring qualities of reflexology can help to alleviate cramping, mild edema, stimulate milk production, and help the uterus return to its normal proportions”
Reflexology has been effective when dealing with the after effects of epidurals and to alleviate post-natal depression".
Herbs for Healing
"Vera Krijn, president of the New York State Reflexology Association, thinks that reflexology has matured in the United States over the past decade. The scope of work has expanded because many medical facilities, spa's and sport centers now offer reflexology treatments.
We have really seen an increase in demand for reflexology in the medical setting, says Krijn.

I just wanted to let you know that I had a little boy. I only pushed fro 8 minutes and the doctor believes it was a result of reflexology.
So thank you for your generosity of spirit and care

After living through 3 miscarriages with 2 doctors, I was having trouble dealing with my basic everyday life. I was angry at the world and constantly felt on edge.
And then I found Vera…
For the first three weeks I had two sessions per week, after which we continued with one session per week. During the sessions I was able to relax completely. It was the only hour every week that I could let my problems float away while I drifted off to a state of total relaxation
I’m now 18 weeks along in my pregnancy and continue to work with Vera. I foresee continuing reflexology for years to come.

Subject: Re: Great news- baby is vertex! In perfect face-down position!
I met with the doctor and we canceled the c-section. We are going to let the baby tell us when it is ready to arrive and re-evaluate on Tuesday. (We may not want to wait too long because the baby is estimated to weigh 8"4 and my swelling is quite pronounced.).
I am wondering whether you are available tomorrow. If not tomorrow, perhaps Sunday?
Thank you,
Miriam
