The Art of the Soles
Therapeutic Reflexology, Reiki and Shamanic/Energy Medicine
1. Therapeutic Reflexology
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a gentle art as well as a fascinating ancient science. For thousands of years, it has been an extremely
effective form of therapeutic foot, hand and ear manipulation to bring the body into homeostasis. I specialize in foot
reflexology. The ancient Chinese and Egyptians have documented practices similar to reflexology as a treatment for
certain afflictions many of which are listed below. It is a unique system which springs from the same Chinese
roots as acupuncture. It is science because it is based on physiological and neurological studies and an art because
much depends on the skill of the therapist. The feet are a microcosm of the body. Reflexology works on the premise
that all organs in the body have reflexes in the feet so by stimulating these reflexes a good practitioner can open up
pathways that may be sluggish and therefore causing distress/pain. When pressure/massage is applied to the reflex
areas it causes physiological changes to take place. This, in turn, allows the body's own healing potential to take
over again. When there is sensitivity in a reflex area it is an indication of stress or weakness in the corresponding
organ or body part. Relaxation is the first step to a state of equilibrium both physically and emotionally. Deep
Relaxation is the first step to normalisation in any "dis-ease" and when the body open to deep relaxation then
healing is possible.

2. 3rd Degree Reiki Master
What Is Reiki ?
After practicing Reflexology for two years I began to feel a tingling in my fingers when working on my clients.
I knew there was something else to be added to my repertoire. I found the next step in Reiki. Reiki is an ancient Tibetan hands-on healing technique that helps break up negative physical/mental/emotional
patterning. "The ability to channel life force energy for any level of healing is the gift of Reiki". The word "Reiki"
comes from two symbols or characters in Japanese - Rei, meaning - spiritual/universal and Ki, meaning - energy. I proceeded to be attuned and became a Reiki master. Reiki is different from almost any other
healing modality. The symbols of energy are transferred to each Reiki master during what is called "an attune-
ment process". This process is said to open the crown, heart, and palm chakras to create a unique connec-
tion between the student and the teacher. Once you have received a Reiki attunement, you will have Reiki
for the remainder of your life. It does not "wear off" and you can never lose it. It is now a part of who I am.
The attuned Reiki practitioner can then transfer this healing energy to anyone who is in need of healing from
all forms of illness and negative conditions. Reiki energy encourages one to let go of all tension, anxiety, fear
or other negative feelings so a state of peace and well-being is experienced. It works well for almost any
situation in need of healing on a deeper level including regular medical or psychological treatment,
post operative pain, depression, and all other forms of healing, including drugs, surgery, and psychological
care. What one feels from Reiki is individual but most everyone experiences feelings of deep relaxation and a
wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and surrounds them with a deep sense of peace. Reiki can also,
and is well known for, its ability to send long distance healing to individuals or situations in need -
even thousands of miles away.

3. Reconnective Healing
Reconnective Healing
I found Reiki to be an amazing healing modality and it is now an innate part of all my healing sessions. But
there was more exploration to be done ... I could feel it. I came upon a book by Dr. Eric Pearl entitled The
Reconnection. After being trained by Dr. Pearl I discovered a healing technique similar to yet different that
Reiki. "Reconnective Healing" is recognized by today's science as a new, all-inclusive spectrum of Energy,
Light and Information that has recently entered the magnetic field of earth. These vibrational frequencies
or new spectrum of light, now encompass our individual energy systems and benefit ALL energy healing
techniques. Considering the new "String Theory" in quantum physics - Reconnective Healing is sort of like
connecting up loose threads of light and information that were disconnected from the us along the paths
of our lives. This happens through our personal beliefs we learned from society, family, religions, cultures, etc.
Reconnective healing is kind of like hooking up the ailing or dead spark plugs in your car to the correct
electrical current to start informing the car how to work once again. If interested in learning more please go
to Youtube - Dr. Pearl and Reconnective Healing to see exactly how this method works. This modality
can also be used in long distance healing as well. Whether long distance or one on one, clients have said
they feel " peaceful, less depressed, more loving energy, more clarity,
a warm tingling throughout my body, a brighter outlook and a lessening,
of aches and pain".

Sound Vibration Healing
by
Acutonics tm tuning forks
A vibrational healing system incorporating sound healing, oriental medicine and touch vibration. This system is directly
connected to acupuncture and the meridian system however I have found it to be much more pleasant and even profound
in its ability to be completely painless, peaceful and deeply soothing all at the same time. In placing the forks on certain
energy (meridian) points of the body one can open the blockages that hold the body hostage to physical, emotional and
often psychic pain and heaviness. Through this process of sound (by listening) and vibration from physical touch one can
immediately experience a "letting go" and sinking into a brain balancing harmonic level of peace and spiritual serenity.
Some of the comments from clients have been: "like a warm liquid pouring over me, suddenly got
very sleepy and relaxed, energy moving up my legs and spine, a tingling in my
head and jaw, I felt like my mind just opened up and relaxed, a low sound of vibration
and opening in my sinus area". And afterward always a recognition of something that has been released
or pain that has improved and more often - a sense of groundedness and peace.
