Welcome to the first edition of BubHub UK’s flyer!

BubHub UK has been created by myself, a Northampton mum, who during my own pregnancy and birth journey was looking for a resource focussed on natural, safe and effective therapies for me, my birthing experience and my baby - hence the website www.bubhubuk.com was born!

My goal for creating BubHub UK is to educate, inform and inspire other local families to think differently about complementary therapies during their journey of adding to their family. Did you know that reflexology can help with morning sickness? Or that acupuncture can aid fertility? Or even that kinesiology can help find out why your baby is struggling with sickness or wind? No? Well that is what BubHub UK is here for! The site has been contributed to by all our practitioners in therapies which include yoga, massage, reflexology, osteopathy, reiki, acupuncture, hypnobirthing and much much more! All therapists just happen to be women and most of them mums themselves so you will never be short of a sympathetic ear to your struggle and all therapists can be contacted through the site directly. I hope you find the articles and reader reviews inspiring and will start you thinking more about complementary therapies for your family’s health.

P.S There is a large community of us growing on Facebook where you will be the first to hear about new practitioners and special offers - just search for BubHub UK.

I hope you enjoy this printed edition of BubHub UK and what you see online. Please contact me online as I love re-ceiving feedback on how I can help other mums and dads out there!

Northampton Reflexologist Helen Lewis explains...

My name is Helen Lewis, and I have been practising as a Reflexologist for 15 years. I am based at the Maple Tree Clinic on Wednesday and Thursdays, and the Beehive Therapy Centre on Tuesdays, both in Northampton.

Reflexology is a therapy working on the principle that all our glands, organs and parts of the body are connected through the feet and hands. By stimulating them during a treatment, the body starts to rebalance, or heal itself. Treatment is relaxing, and can be used on all ages. Reflexology can help many different health issues; from sleep disor-ders, hormone imbalances, and back, neck and shoulder problems, to name a few.

During my career, I have often supported ladies through from conception to the birth of their child, and so it seemed a natural progression for me to treat their babies as well. As this therapy is so effective on babies, only a small number of reflexes need to be learnt, and a treatment only takes a few minutes. Once mastered, it can be given anywhere and at anytime, which makes it easy for baby and parent. Reflexology can benefit babies in the following ways:• It helps with relaxation – good for anxious or stressed babies• It may help with digestive issues and sleep problems• It can help with general health and well being by helping the body heal faster• It may help colds, coughs and teething • The main benefit is that it’s a lovely way to bond with your baby

Parents attending the course have given really positive feedback and many have come back themselves to receive a treatment after attending! The cost of a course is £35 and includes an instruction pack. Each course runs for 2/3 weeks depending on class size (6 parents maximum).

Baby Reflexology Classes for Parents


Facebook follower Chloe finds a way to ease her back pain without medicationI had been advised to medicate heavily to ease the pain in my back, which I didn’t want to do. When I saw Acuto-pia Clinic featured on www.BubHubUK.com I called Julie Searle and was able to book an appointment quickly.

The session was brilliant! We talked at length about the issue (as well as my overall health) and Julie quickly ascertained where the source of my pain was. She then set about marking out the acupressure points needed and prepared the needles for treat-ment.

Julie is clearly an expert in her field, I was not sold to at any point throughout the pro-cess and most importantly a very clear and long standing difference was made to my back pain! I will be going back again for further treatment and cannot recommend her highly enough. Thanks again Julie.

Reader Reviews

Mum of two, Kelly, finds a solution with kinesiology As a breast feeding mum, I was struggling to understand why my little boy was different after I ate certain foods. I too felt pretty low in energy. I’d heard lots about kinesology but had never really thought about doing it myself and through BubHubUK.com I found Julia’s details.

Julia told me to place my son on my lap whilst she tested my body’s balance for certain foods - totally non invasive! I was pleasantly surprised by what I was told; realising that with some simple changes to my diet I might be able to see some really positive effects, I decided to implement the dietary changes Julia suggested.

A week later I was shocked just how much better my little boy was feeding and how much more energy I had. I decided to give it a month to truly realise the benefits and I have to say, two months later I will never return to some of the foods I ate on a regular basis as I now realise they made me feel worse rather than better.

The miraculous salt caves in Old Stratford are breathing new life into families...

If you go down the A508 today, you’re sure of a big surprise... as hiding in Old Strat-ford are the fascinating Salt Caves, run by Linh and her husband providing relief to

adults and children suffering with a range of breathing and/or skin con-ditions. I heard about this intriguing place through a friend and decided to take a visit myself with my son who suffers with mild eczema to find out for myself the effects of this treatment.

Upon arriving, Linh explained just how salt can provide a wealth of benefits by simply being in a spa-cious cave like room with salt coat-ed walls and floor whilst breathing in, what tasted like, salty sea air. We

donned our protective shoe covers and hair nets (wondering why? Have you ever wondered how you would vacuum a salt floor?!). We opened the door to one of the two “caves” and were welcomed to a plethora of toys, games, tv, books, chairs and sofas - all designed to keep little ones enter-tained for the hour’s session.

My son gasped with joy as we entered the “dragon cave” and he thoroughly enjoyed making sand castles and digging in the sand whilst showing no awareness of the salty air. I touched the walls and they were covered in a hard salt and the sandy floor was as soft as a Mauritian beach. The adult room hosts more reclining chairs and sofas and many people fall asleep during their session and I can well believe why - this is a wonderful sanctuary in the middle of the Midlands!

Now for the science part - the salt is dispensed in the air via a saline dispensing unit in micro particles which enable them to be breathed deep into the lungs. Salt has anti inflammatory and anti bacterial properties which can help reduce swelling, inflam-mation, shift mucus and detox the body. This is a very effective

Because of the salts I can breathe!


method for helping with respiratory and skin conditions such as asthma, sinusitis, pso-riasis, ear infections, eczema and coughs and colds and completely safe for children aged 6mths plus.

Testimonial from the parent of Ella, 5 years old with asthma and eczema, “Ella Rose has stopped using her inhaler and her skin has improved at the back of her legs. From my side as her mother, the Salt Cave is relaxing and allows you to switch off for an hour or so”.

Julie Searle from the Acutopia Clinic explains more about the many benefits acupuncture has to offer...

Acupuncture for pregnancy, labour preparation and post partum Acupuncture is well established and popular interest is ever growing as a method to support couples throughout their entire pregnancies, from pre-conception right through to post partum and beyond.

Acupuncture treatment during pregnancy promotes general well-being and can be ef-fective for pregnancy-related symptoms such as tiredness, nausea, heartburn, consti-pation, oedema and back pain.

Acupuncture for Labour Preparation Pregnant mothers often seek acupuncture support to help them prepare for labour.

Pre-birth acupuncture treatments are specifically designed for weeks 36, 37, 38 & 39 and assist by relaxing and softening the ligaments, aiding cervical dilation, boosting

energy, improving circulation of the blood to the pelvis and influencing the lumber and hip region. These are a deeply relaxing and calming set of treatments before the birthing experience.

Post partum treatments and Mother Warming.“Mother Warming” is a nourishing and warming treat-ment given 4-5 days after labour. Using moxibustion

and gentle needling this aids the mother’s recovery and helps energise after giving birth.

For more information please contact Julie on T: 07917 150197. E: [email protected] Or visit www.bubhubuk.com and follow the links to acupuncture.
