A MESSAGE FROM YOUR BOARD
 
Dear RAC Members,

I am enclosing our RAC Quarterly Update, providing you with important information about the recent activities of the association.

Spring is often a time for renewal and change, when we look to discard that which no longer serves us.  In its place, we can institute fresh new ideas, actions and renewed energy. 
 
Reflexology has been shown to have the effect on the body to also bring forth renewed energy, often with fresh optimism to follow.  May this Springtime bring you a flurry of positive experiences and may your Reflexology practice grow accordingly. 
 
Happy Spring and Happy Easter! 
 
Sincerely,
 
Ariana Thaxter
President
Board of Directors
Reflexology Association of California
 
It's not too late to register!

10 Marketing Tips 
for a Holistic Healing Business  

The good news is that acceptance of alternative medicine and holistic healing practices have been growing. The less good news is that, like any business, marketing and growing your practice can still be challenging and take time.

Marketing does provide the opportunity to expand your network so you can connect with more people and spread your healing further. It's worth the effort.  In fact, one of the keys to marketing your practice is to focus on your customer's needs and how you can help them, rather than on selling clients on the specifics of your product or service. If you're a person in a healing profession, this may already be what comes natural to you. And, if you continue to provide great customer service, word-of-mouth can eventually lead to a prosperous business, but a thorough marketing campaign can be a big help in getting there faster.

In developing marketing material it's wise to answer questions like: What strengths do you bring? What makes you different from others that practice your modality? What skills and training do you have that can help solve or heal your client's problems?

Why do Reflexologists Need Liability Insurance

 
Becoming a professional reflexologist requires dedication, persistence and planning. One must enroll in the appropriate classes, earn a license or certification to practice, set up the business and draw clients. All of this is part of creating a thriving reflexology studio. No professional reflexologist should risk losing what he or she has worked so hard to build. This is why reflexologist liability insurance is a crucial component of setting up one's business.

In fact, securing reflexologist liability insurance often happens before the first client even comes through the door. This is because reflexologist liability insurance serves as a core piece of your practice-a foundation of safety and security. With reflexologist liability insurance in place, you know you are covered when it comes to a wide array of potential issues associated with your work and interactions with clients.

Growing Herbs is Fun & Healthy! 
Grow your own herbs indoors or outdoors 
 
 
We found a website that has a wealth of information on how to grow an herb garden so you can harvest fresh herbs for culinary enhancement in the kitchen or even for medicinal purposes. You can grow herbs in pots or containers on your balcony, deck, or patio; in the backyard garden; even indoors ... herbs are both fun and easy to grow!

Unfortunately, mere words alone cannot fully describe the aromas that will fill your kitchen or the flavors that will tempt your tastebuds when cooking with freshly grown and cut herbs. You must experience these sensory delights yourself, and this website will help show you how.

Growing herbs is easy to do, so easy, in fact, even kids can grow them! Many people turn their love for herb gardening into successful home businesses by selling fresh cut herbs, herb plants, and other herb related products.
