"I saw Jo every two weeks whilst I was pregnant, I thoroughly looked forward to my sessions as they were so relaxing and enjoyable. Jo was very professional and friendly, and was able to help with specific pregancy related problems such as back pain etc. In fact I didn't suffer with any of the common problems such as high blood pressure or swelling and had a very healthy and happy pregnancy and birth. I recommend Jo and reflexology to all my pregnant friends now!" Nicola
