"Reflexology with the wonderful midwife"

About: Continuity of Midwifery Carer Service / Emerald Team

(as the patient),

I’ve come across Vicky my entire pregnancy, and she’s been a delight every single time. Vicky exudes such a warm energy and is one of those people who you feel like you’ve known for years, even when you’ve just met. 

She kindly booked me in for a reflexology session as part of my maternity care at CAH, and I just had it recently. It was my first time ever having any kind of reflexology, and I can confidently say I’m a convert. I felt so relaxed both during and after, and even had a peaceful 3 hour nap when I got home. I felt lighter on my feet, and I was also less swollen (which is a feat at 39 weeks pregnant lol). Vicky was really informative throughout the whole session and made me feel calm and comfy. 

Not only did she do the reflexology for me, but Vicky also took time out to show me some of the labour rooms and equipment to make me feel less anxious about going into labour. She didn’t have to do this, but it just shows how kind and caring she is. 

Thank you Vicky!!! You are amazing 😊
