Do You LOVE What You Do?

You must make a Chice to take a Chance or your life will never Change.

I am happy to report that I do. I feel both blessed to be on the path I walk and recognize that my life’s work was built mostly from acting on well-thought-out choices, not chance. One guiding principle I have worked from is to always pay attention to my inner voice; the part of me that ‘knows’. Those messages come to me when I am deeply relaxed, usually when receiving reflexology or about to fall asleep. And, believe me, the instructions always surprise me and always involve taking a … [Read more...]

Growing A Reflexology Business

Yellow flower with blue flowers outside

I learned recently that over the decades of reflexology practice and teaching I have actually developed somewhat of a philosophy regarding clinical practice and business. I think it all happened organically so that I was never much aware of how I approached customer service and marketing. Kassy Killey of OnPoint Holistic Marketing for Reflexologists  asked to interview me a few weeks ago. Watching the replay turned out to be rather enlightening for me! I liked what I heard. Maybe you will … [Read more...]

Wintertime Is For Planning

New Year’s Resolutions aside, I’ve always felt that winter, in general, is the ideal time for planning. The colder temperatures and shorter days do not lend themselves to planting or reaping.

If you’ve been laying low during the worst weeks of the pandemic, what do you see yourself doing when you are able to more fully do as you wish? Do you want to grow a business? Expand your knowledge and … [Read more...]

A New YOU!

Person jumping chasm between two rocks labeled 2020 and 2021

Whew, 2020 is in the books! What an exceptional year of change, challenge, and lessons. Every New Years Day brings an opportunity to reflect on our desires for the year ahead. Yet this year it feels even more significant, maybe because 2020 was so remarkable. What do you want for yourself in this new year? Did 2020 change you, or reshape your priorities? What did you learn last year that you will carry forward? What new things would you like to learn? If you are ready for a … [Read more...]

Oils, Lotions and Butters

Glass jar of body butter with spoon and surrounded by pink roses.

Although it’s true that bodyworkers use lubricants to be able to easily glide across tissue without causing discomfort, more often we use lotions, oils and creams out of habit. As an example, when I learned reflexology, I was taught to work ‘dry’. When I learned how to give a Swedish massage it was using an oil; connective tissue and neuromuscular therapy, a butter. It’s what I was taught and how I carried on. You may have been shown something different. No matter what though, we could all … [Read more...]
