Alternative Health: pregnancy

Kate Moss and Elle Macpherson are fans. The holistic obstetrician Gowri Motha talks through her stress-relieving pregnancy programme, The Gentle Birth Method

Motha, 64, augments her conventional medical expertise with a wide range of complementary disciplines – including reflexology, ayurveda, hypnotherapy and an energetic practice called Creative Healing – to help her clients have the easiest births possible. “Reflexology is key, as most pregnant mothers feel anxiety. Deep reflexology helps the whole body to detox and relax, and aids lymphatic drainage.” Creative Healing also targets the lymphatic system, as well as “dealing with the flow of fluids distinct from blood and lymph”.
