What other people are saying about Reflexology
"The number one thing I do for myself is Reflexology. I knew the benefits immediately when I came into the clinic and had a Reflexology clinic 18 months ago. I downloaded the process and feel of it. I can do this on myself every day. Why not? I can have a dramatic change of energy. Adrenals are the number one issue for most folks, so that is what I worked on. High energy is the name of the game. A year after my first Reflexology session, I started walking barefoot. For years I had to wear shoes for my stability and had a lot of sensitivity. After Reflexology my feet shifted. I can now walk on stones and feel very strong." Dan Debroux, CEO, Business Coach
"Wow, I have been in the bodywork field for 29 years and I have never felt the energy in my body or in a client's body the way I feel it in this class. I am so excited. You know, my ankles get very swollen from poor circulation. After a reflexology session they are normal again. Yesterday, I felt like I had gained 5 pounds- my whole body was swollen. So, I decided to do Reflexology on myself. I saw results immediately. Today, the swelling is gone and I feel lightness in my feet. I feel like I lost 5 pounds!" Irina McBride, massage therapist and esthetician at a Five Star Resort and Spa
"For 3 days I've had this major knot in my back- kind of like the 800lb gorilla when you are trying to live your life, and all you want to do is get rid of it. During the session the pain went from an 8 to a 3 when you worked on my feet. Then you worked on my back it eased up even more. When you went back to my feet- it fully released. The pain became like a remnant; it felt like fresh air moved through my system." Kevin Gleason, SBBTI client
"Before class, my neck had been tight and bothering me. I also had fractured my fibula and jammed my ankle. My big toe had been numb ever since. After Friday's Reflexology session, the entire vertebra in my neck popped into place and the tension in my neck was gone. During Saturday's session Katie worked on my big toe. I regained sensation in my toe. For the first time in 3 months, my toe feels awake!" Gabriel Mann, 550hr student, therapist for the US Olympic Medical team
"Learning Reflexology validated beliefs that I hold about the connection between the energy zones and the feet. It gave me a much stronger awareness of my body mechanics and helped me shift my stress response. Before I started the course my hands were exposed to toxic chemicals that made my skin severely blistered, raw and swollen. The stress of that shifted tremendously during the course. It was a huge benefit to refocus how I dealt with the condition and my body's capacity to heal. My hands are now so much better."
Barbara Loveless, Reflexology student

Want to step up your capacity to handle stress and operate at high level function? Our capacity to handle stress has a lot to do with the strength of our nerve force and the stories we tell ourselves about whatever is going on in the moment.
Reflexology involves thorough application of pressure to the feet, releasing metabolic wastes laid down in the tissues of the feet, toning the Nervous System and strengthening the ten bipolar currents that energize the organs and glands. Swedish Massage 
involves the rhythmic application of fluid stroking and squeezing motions throughout the body to release muscle tension, nourish the tissues and cells of the body with oxygen and nutrients and revitalize the Nervous System. Access Energy involves light contact on 32 points on the head and feet to clear the stuck patterns in the mental body and induce a deep state of mental and physical relaxation.
