What grads had to say

These past 3 months have added a sense of wholeness to my experience on a physical, mental as well as spiritual level. I have gained a deeper understanding of communicating through touch, and a deep appreciation for having a career that visits that space of awareness. This program has greatly broadened my ideas of starting my career, and my confidence about its success….I appreciate the information being presented about the physical aspects, balancing with presentations about the metaphysical/emotional aspect. I feel that this is a strong point to this class, because it reminds me that as I work with a person many things are contributing to their experience. Learning the information in this way has allowed me to feel completely present with my client. The greatest impact this class had on me was giving and receiving in such a present and aware atmosphere…I have learned a great deal about being a professional from observing the way Karen presents herself in this career. It was great to experience this knowledge with Karen, as it felt as she was always there for us and very caring.

This class has brought a new awareness to every aspect of my bodywork. From the subtle discussions to the topics covered in print, there were many things that were covered that went beyond Reflexology…What stands out the most is the way that the class revolved around a very central theme of space and respect for each aspect of bodywork. This is also in touch with the strong point of allowing many different sides being present within the class from both students and instructor…Karen is very organized and linear. Able to allow enough space for elaboration on the basic themes while presenting all of the needed information in a precise and timely manner. The overall presentations were very clear and well understood. Knowledge and understanding of material and information was deep and clearly presented….I could not imagine not taking this training. It has truly changed my perspective of bodywork. I love the specificity and personal attention involved in the most basic level

(The program) has reinforced what I’ve been learning and doing in massage school; the two programs have been quite complementary. What I particularly liked was the daily meditation and the chance to sink into a peaceful feeling. I’m in awe of the power and potential of this modality. Even with the limited experience I’ve had so far, I’ve seen the sessions provide significant benefit to people. It was really interesting to hear about Karen’s clinical experience… Karen is a complex and talented person whose dedication to Reflexology and to the class comes across strongly. Because of her breadth and range of interests, she brings a lot of depth and diversity to the discussion, always going beyond the immediacy of Reflexology to a broader context of health

-Deborah P., massage student

My skills as a student and a student of Reflexology have increased. My belief of the continuity of life and the interconnectedness of life has been reinforced…Karen, your presence and overall attitude about and enthusiasm for the classroom experience – your attention (meticulous at times) to detail and your consummate presence created a mindful, balanced, and nurturing experience for me. I liked the variety of reference books available and the quality of the classroom décor you organized…YAHOO – I loved it – you are an excellent instructor. Thank you

-Kiya S., LMT

Karen taught me to be more attentive to the moment, to the person, to the specifics – to take time to nurture, to communicate, to listen. She presented the information in an organized way and included other things like aromatherapy to enrich the class… I loved the small and intimate class to learn in. I loved starting the day with meditation. These were some of the reasons I registered for this class rather than some of the others that are available

-Himalaya P., LMT

No real words can describe how much you have impacted me with all of the encouragement I received. I don’t even think I would have bothered to complete the course. You’re a great lady. The info you provided during the class will be utilized often….The patience, the expertise, the time allowing students to verbalize. Encouragement always forthcoming. Enjoyed the meditations prior to the presentations for the day

-Janis J., massage student

It’s been great. I feel remarkably confident and capable…I love the sessions – giving and receiving…feeling the deep integrative and relaxing effect of the sessions myself. I know it’s effective…Karen is a great teacher. Her even tone and pacing and thoughtful presentation are good. I like the blend of many approaches – linear, Eastern, herbal, fun, serious, chatty, silent…It’s easier to pay attention and retain in this small group…. I’m sad it’s over. Thank you for giving your all and covering every aspect and consideration of Reflexology and the reality of how to do it out there in the world. I appreciate all your effort and generous spirit. I love Reflexology

-Rochelle G., massage student

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. It was a rewarding and inspiring experience. Even when I felt at the peak of information overload, I wanted more…The program’s strength lies with the instructor and your overall coverage of all essential areas and your incorporation of all styles of learning – it’s a truly experiential environment… greatest impact has been to broaden my self-reflection. I feel a total connection to the work as I am engaged in it

-Donna S., LMT

What stands out for me is the “fullness” the course had to offer – I felt we touched into a lot of areas in regards to our thoughts, feelings, intellect that not only have an impact on Reflexology but my life as a whole…Karen interspersed a lot of information that provided a feast for learning…Karen demonstrated clarity in her intention for class time, with flexibility. You demonstrated excellent listening skills and availability for questions and participation. You took full responsibility for making the class happen, while allowing us ample opportunity to co-create with you. I noticed your non-attachment to outcomes with situations that you could of potentially “taken care of”, allowing us to take responsibility for our choices

-Gift F., LMT

Thank you for your example of peacefulness, understanding and kindness. I have enjoyed your presence! Also, I have appreciated you asking input of your students. This has made me understand that I am part of making this class work and that you want things to be enjoyable for us, as your students

-Belle R., massage student

The whole course made me love Reflexology…has given me a solid foundation to prepare for the ARCB certification, and I know I will feel qualified to be a Reflexologist …The teaching incorporated creative ways to learn and understand the foot and the body. Extracurricular subjects were big highlights…Karen is a very good teacher, sincere and dedicated to her work I appreciated her quietness and patience…Manual was top notch, thorough and well planned and easy to learn. Each section clear and concise and a wonderful guide to have to take home

-Helen E.

I have never experienced such a well designed programme. If I do not take Reflexology any further than the classroom, I have shared so much with so few. My eyes and heart have really been opened, in many cases for the first time, to new ways of living life…No matter how many questions or queries I had, they were always answered and explained in detail time after time…

-Lynda C.

I couldn’t have asked for more. The class was beyond anything I was wanting. I was glad that it took the turn. It kept me interested at all times. You are A GREAT TEACHER!! You keep it changing. You connected everything in a unique way. I never knew what was next. I really liked the changes each week. I think Karen has impacted me the most out of all the teachers at FSM. You have made me plan and think about my future. You have given me a sense of self. I am very happy and grateful I had you as my teacher
