My Approach and Goals

With Reflexology we will be working with maps that are located on your feet, which correspond to different parts of your body.  In connecting with these maps, it is possible to treat different areas of the body that are causing discomfort, to speed up healing, as well as get in touch with other areas that are needing support. I have studied under a couple of different Reflexologists, and so I incorporate a couple of different approaches into my practice, based on the individual needs of the person I’m working with.  Reflexology is a very flexible practice that can be molded to fit many different needs.  If a person is feeling ungrounded and would like to reset their energy, Reflexology may help. Reflexology may also help to treat chronic pain caused by a wide array of diseases like carpel tunnel, arthritis, lymphedema, plantar fasciitis, back, joint, and muscle pain, as well as headaches. I am also trained to work with those with PMS, Autoimmune Diseases, and Fibromyalgia.

I often incorporate Acupressure into my sessions.  Acupressure is an Ancient Chinese Medicine based on a map of bipolar energetic meridians and concentrated energy points, located all throughout the body, which correspond to different organs and systems in the body. Each of these Meridians is also associated with an Element, Emotion, Color, and Sound, as well as many other things. Getting in touch with the Meridian System, and resetting its balance, can have profound effects on a person’s experience of reality.

I also like to incorporate the use of powerful plant extracts in the sessions.  Working with these plants can support healing in an amazing way.  Depending on which plant you’re working with, it may have the following benefits: anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti parasitic. They can support the health of the liver and gallbladder, heart, skin, muscle, joint, lymph, bone, circulation, brain, memory, CNS, libido, energy levels, and anti-depression. They can support a person to feel more focused, grounded, calm, & uplifted, as well as assist one in forgiveness, self love, and acceptance. These are just a few of the attributes that the oils that I work with have been given, among many more.

I combine the knowledge of Reflexology, Acupressure, and potent plant oils to develop a unique plan for each of my clients. If a person has a specific complaint about an area of the body, we can address the issue through the feet. By working with knowledge of the Meridian System, in combination with Reflexology, the physical complaints that a person is experiencing, can be clues to other things going on physically, energetically, and emotionally as well.

Working with these modalities can create dynamic change in a person’s life.  They may notice having more pleasant interactions with everyone around them, having a stronger desire to do the things that nourish and sustain their health, as well as having better boundaries with who and/or what they focus their attention on. When we tune into the vibration of optimal health within our bodies, we will notice that our surroundings begin to vibrate in the same way, and we will witness magic unfolding in not only our lives, but in the lives of those around us. It is important to understand however, that these practices are not magic entirely. What is magic but something that we don’t fully understand? Of everything we learn, there is an aspect of the mysterious. Reflexology and Acupressure are time tested methods that have arisen out of careful observation. Can we really say that we know how it is that an emotion can manifest as a physical ailment? There is a lot of science that can prove that it is true, however, do we really know how it is that our heart beats, that our nervous system fires signals, or that we can see the world around us with our eye balls? Albert Einstein said, “The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and science.” I’m not saying that I know exactly how all this stuff works, but I’m also not saying that I don’t. There is real science that backs up these practices, and that is one reason that it is so fascinating and fun to me.
