Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) can be physically and emotionally draining. It is often called morning sickness, but this is an outdated term as sickness can occur at any time of day.

​

Sickness in pregnancy is thought to be caused by a rapid increase in pregnancy hormones. The spectrum of pregnancy sickness ranges from mild nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) to a severe form called hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Up to 94% of pregnancies are affected to some degree.

​

The pregnancy sickness therapy can treat mild to moderate NVP and uses a combination of aromatherapy, acupressure, and clinical reflex zone therapy. The treatments are tailored to your symptoms and will also target heartburn. A minimum of 3 regular treatments is advised to gain maximum benefit.

Pregnancy sickness therapy includes:

​

• Full midwifery consultation

• Bespoke therapy tailored to your symptoms.

• An opportunity to ask any questions or discuss any worries you may have.

• Self-help advice to continue at home

• A set of acupressure wrist bands and specialist tea

• A bespoke blend of aromatherapy oil to take home
