Why Feet and Hands
“Every part of you has a secret language.
Your hands and feet say what you’ve done.”
– Rumi
Although I am trained in and have practiced both reflexology and massage over the last 39 years, reflexology has organically grown into my specialty, my signature. People travel considerable distances to receive hand and/or foot reflexology from me, because they see results.
Some people claim that of all our body parts, our feet tend to suffer the most. I don’t know if that’s true, but I do know that there’s nothing worse than sore feet; and sore feet are guaranteed if neglected. Our feet are our trusty servants, providing a foundation upon which we “take a stand” and move forward in life.
As a credentialed reflexologist since 1983, I often hear the statement “My feet are killing me!” Perhaps that complaint would be more accurately stated, “I’m killing my feet”. We stuff them into poorly designed, ill-fitted shoes and then proceed to stand on them hour after hour without rest. We pay little attention to the fact that the feet carry our whole body weight and who we are every day of our lengthy existence here on earth.
When you treat your feet well, they tend to return the favor. For that reason I have dedicated my private practice to putting Feet First.
Next to the feet I look to the hands as the doorway to our body/soul. Our hands are amazing structures, capable of infinite skill and adaptation. The hands are what we use to grab hold of life; relaxed, flexible and strong hands make it easier to eagerly reach out and grasp what life has to offer.
By properly stimulating reflex points and energy lines within the feet and hands I am talking to the body’s nervous system, so I believe that it’s very important that I am mindful about what my intention is. Since my desire is to facilitate a state of deep relaxation within my client, so that the body can return to balance and optimal functioning, my work is very slow, pain-free and deliberate. And please, remember that authentic reflexology is not a hand or foot massage!
