Reproductive Reflexology & Fertility Support | 8ráBeo Holistics | Galway
Supporting women and couples through cycle health, conception, and assisted fertility treatment with calm, personalised care.
Trying to conceive can be physically demanding, emotionally overwhelming, and at times deeply isolating.
I offer reproductive reflexology and holistic support for women and couples who are trying to conceive, preparing for pregnancy, or navigating assisted fertility treatment.
My approach is calm, personalised, and evidence-informed. It combines cycle-focused reflexology protocols with a strong clinical understanding of the body, helping you feel supported, informed, and more at ease throughout your journey. Each session is shaped around your needs, with thoughtful care that meets you where you are physically, emotionally, and practically.
With a background in biomedical engineering, a degree in orthotics and prosthetics, and seven years of clinical experience as an orthotist, I am comfortable working with complex information and helping you make sense of your health more clearly. Reiki and personalised EFT resources also support the emotional side of the journey.
Who this is for?
This support is designed for women and couples who want grounded, personalised care while navigating the physical and emotional complexity of fertility. It may be especially helpful if you are trying to conceive naturally, preparing for assisted fertility treatment, looking for support with cycle awareness and hormonal balance, or wanting a more joined-up and informed approach to your reproductive health.
I also offer support for male fertility, and for those who feel overwhelmed by medical language, test results, or the emotional demands of the process. My aim is to create a space where you feel both cared for and better able to understand what is happening in your body.
How I work
A first session includes time to understand your health history, cycle patterns, and where you are in your journey. On booking you will receive a detailed Reproflexology Pre-Conception Questionnaire to fill out. If relevant, we can also look at test results, treatment timelines, and the wider physical and emotional factors at play.
From there, sessions are tailored to your needs. They may include cycle-focused reflexology protocols, nervous system support, and gentle complementary tools such as Reiki or personalised EFT resources to support the emotional side of the journey. My aim is for you to leave each session feeling more informed, more grounded, and better supported.
Training and Qualifications
My background is somewhat unusual in the holistic space. I trained first as a biomedical engineer, then completed a BSc in Prosthetics and Orthotics and worked clinically as an orthotist for seven years. This means I am genuinely comfortable analysing medical information, identifying patterns, and helping you make sense of complex clinical language and test results.
Advanced Reproductive Reflexology (or Reproflexology™) training
I have completed advanced fertility training using evidence-informed protocols developed by a UK-based practitioner currently undertaking PhD research informed by over 20 years of clinical data. During my training, both of my fertility case study clients became pregnant while working with me or shortly afterwards.

Irish Reflexologists’ Institute member
As a member of the Irish Reflexologists’ Institute (IRI), your private health insurer may offer reimbursement for sessions. Please check with your provider directly, as policies vary.
Reiki Master
Alongside this, I am a Reiki Master and incorporate energy work and personalised emotional freedom technique tapping resources to support clients emotionally throughout their fertility journey. Fertility support is not only about protocols — it is about feeling informed, held, and understood.

FAQs
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on where you are in your journey. For cycle support, a series of sessions timed around your cycle typically works best. For those preparing for or going through IVF, sessions are often planned around treatment timelines. We discuss this fully at your first appointment.
Can reflexology support IVF or other assisted fertility treatment?
Reproductive reflexology is used as a complementary support alongside assisted fertility treatment, not as a replacement for medical care. Many clients use it to manage stress, support their cycle, and feel more grounded during what can be a very demanding process.
I have lots of test results and medical information — can you help me make sense of them?
This is one of the things that makes my approach different. With a clinical background in orthotics and prosthetics and a degree in biomedical engineering, I am comfortable looking at medical reports and test results with you and helping you understand what they mean in plain language.
Do you work with male partners too?
Yes. I am trained in protocols specifically designed to support male reproductive health, including work focused on sperm quality and reducing factors associated with sperm DNA fragmentation. Couples are very welcome.
