WWD - Spa’s 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 has helped 32 women over the past two years 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”.


SPA Business - “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 recommend Vera without hesitation. Her calming touch is accompanied by an incredible wisdom of the human body and its relationship with the human emotions. She works with 100% positive intention, is completely present, and is the consummate professional" Dr. G.M, Village OB/GYN


"As a labor support doula, I work with many pregnant women and their partners, each of whom has a unique story about how easy or difficult it was to conceive. I first heard about Vera Krijn from a client of mine who had worked with Vera while trying to conceive as well as during her pregnancy and in preparation for her child’s birth.  My client’s stories about Vera were rich with feeling and a sincere belief that Vera’s skilled touch and wisdom had helped her toward a purely positive experience at every turn.  While I had never had any personal experience with Reflexology, I was compelled by my client’s tales to call Vera myself – both for the stress reduction benefits as well as the fertility benefits (I had suffered two miscarriages in twelve months)"


Unlike most care providers I had dealt with (namely primary care physicians and obstetricians), Vera’s approach was personal and attentive; she seemed genuinely interested in my story and my history. I did and began seeing Vera on a weekly basis, and conceived again within two months .I am currently eight weeks into what appears to be a healthy pregnancy.


I have also recommended Vera to other clients of mine, one in particular, who at two weeks postdate with her second baby was facing a medical induction. She phoned me after her Reflexology session with Vera and used only superlatives when describing her experience. In fact, two days later she had a swift and natural labor and delivery" Jennifer K.
