The mission of Reflexology for the Body, Mind & Sole is to make a positive difference in the lives of those individuals interested in taking charge of their own health by providing hands-on foot work and education concerning the innate intelligence of the human body.

WHY REFLEXOLOGY - The human body was created for survival. In good health, the body systems work together to create a delicate balance of wellness. Although the body can become ill, or diseased for many reasons, current theory suggests that stress is the major factor in major illness. Biologicaly speaking, a certain amount of stress is necessary for the body to survive.

However, continually repeated stress is unhealthy because it can produce pathological changes in the body. Excess stress to the body comes in a variety of forms such as anxiety, worry, emotional problems, pollution (including air, chemical, and electromagnetic), pesticides, and processed foods. Pathological changes can surface in your body as aches, pains, or improperly working body parts. The reflex areas, when stimulated, carry improved instruction to the improperly working area to bring it back into balance, or homeostasis.

      Reflexology benefits your Body. When the reflex areas are stimulated, your entire body relaxes, which has a tremendous impact on how your body feels. Through Reflexology, you may gain an increased awareness of various body sensations. For example, you may notice how “tight” your body feels in a stressful situation versus how “loose” it feels at rest. It is important to note these sensations, as it may help motivate you to maintain your relaxed state.

      Reflexology benefits your Mind. When your body is at rest, your mind can relax. A relaxed mind has more thoughts of appreciation and gratitude than a stressed mind which houses thoughts of worry and fear. Through Reflexology, you may gain an increased awareness of the multitude of thoughts that enter your mind. For example, you may become more aware of the number of positive thoughts versus negative thoughts you have in certain situations. It is important to note these thoughts, as it may help motivate you to retain the positive and discard the negative.

      Reflexology benefits the Sole. Your feet, or course, feel rejuvenated at the end of a session. You’ll likely notice how light and flexible your feet feel after your treatment. Through Reflexology, you may also notice a benefit for your soul, or spirit. For example, when your body is not tight with pain and your mind is not clouded with negative thoughts, you may become more aware of your intuitive side as you become more present in your surroundings.

BENEFITS OF REFLEXOLOGY - Reflexology can be used as a complementary therapy for many medical conditions. It can help reduce symptoms such as headaches, body aches, anxiety and digestive problems that arise in many medical conditions.

Reflexology can be used as a safe, non-invasive relaxation therapy. Reflexology encourages improved circulation and restores the body's natural balance. A body in balance is a relaxed body, therefore a major benefit of Reflexology is total body relaxation.

Through the relaxation of Reflexology sessions, the body will be able to restore itself to balance. When a body is in balance, it allows for healing, on physical, mental and spiritual levels.
