| 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 a guarantee if neglected. Our feet are our trusty servants, providing a foundation upon which we “take a stand” and allowing us to move forward in life.
As a Reflexologist I often hear the statement “My feet are killing me!” Perhaps that painful 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” and 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 foot massage!
If you live in the Saint Augustine area, or plan a trip to our fair city, and are interested in receiving a session that accesses your inner healer through the body, please contact me. I am always interested in meeting new people who are seeking to improve the quality of their lives through the vehicles of touch, movement and awareness. As partners, we can determine what will best serve your needs.
