What To Do In An Emergency

In the September issue of Reflexology World I read how a reflexologist responded to the shocking observation of her right arm involuntarily floating out in front of her body, with no feeling in it whatsoever. The inspiring story of her level-headed, informed responses to this scary event reminded me of the time when I was faced with a woman falling into adrenal shock right before my eyes. Three specific actions helped stabilize both these women so that they lived to tell their stories. The … [Read more...]

Panic Disorder and Reflexology

Most people think of reflexology as a beneficial therapy for people dealing with physical imbalances in the body. In the Soviet Union however, reflexology first earned recognition for its psychological benefits (starting in the late 1800’s). Katy Castronovo, a 2010 graduate of the Academy’s certification program, recently set out to test the assumption that reflexology could help those suffering from psychiatric imbalances.

I am so grateful for the plant knowledge I have … [Read more...]

I rent the downstairs space at Eve’s for my workshops. I like the casual atmosphere of conducting classes in the comfy living room, the fully-equipped kitchen, hot tub and the fact that we are a short three blocks from the beach.

Reflexology with Massage

I often teach reflexology to massage therapists, who invariably ask about the benefits of combining reflexology with massage and how best to do that. With 27 years of experience offering reflexology and 21 with therapeutic massage, it’s not hard for me to come up with personal examples from my busy years of practice. I wonder though if a report from a brand new student of reflexology might have bigger import? Recently I received the following in an e-mail from a woman enrolled in this summer’s … [Read more...]
