What a good looking' bunch reflexologist are--take a look!

Below are my personal recommendations of Reflexologists that are responsible, professional and have a gift for healing. They have been recommended by me other several others to be included on these pages.  They are shown here in alphabetical order, and under their home state. (As I keep finding favorites, this list will grow). It is usually best to have a personal reference from someone to see any type of Bodywork Professional, since we all create the reputation that we deserve. Otherwise you can contact  the ARCB (American Reflexology Certification Board) listed on my Natural Health Organizations page  for a practitioner near you.  OR--contact any of the reflexology schools listed for a graduate in your area.  Also, if you have my book "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Reflexology" look in the Appendixes for contact information.

Oh, and please tell them that Frankie sent you.......

Definitions of reflexology may vary slightly, but what they all have in common is the assumption that when specialized massage and thumb-pressure techniques are applied to someone's feet, that person's overall well-being can be  enhanced in many ways beyond the localized benefits of a foot massage.  Darren adheres to that common-ground, common-sense premise completely. He approaches reflexology as both an art and science, with the singular goal of helping his clients feel better all over as a result of his work. Certified Massage Therapist and Health Educator, National Holistic Institute, Emeryville, Calif. 1994. Certified Reflexologist,  International Institute of Reflexology, 1994 (IIR refresher seminars 1997, 2000, 2002, 2006). Certified in Acupressure, Acupressure Institute, Berkeley, Calif., 2007.

One just needs to step inside Sandra Hay's Thunder Bay, Ontario office to experience what complete stress relief is all about.  "One of the greatest compliments that I receive is when I have to wake a client up at the end of a session. Then I know they've experienced total relaxation" she says.   Sandy was introduced to Reflexology in 1994. "I was hooked. It quickly became my passion." In 1999 Sandy relied heavily on reflexology to manage the after effects of spinal cord surgery. The doctors were amazed at how quickly she recovered. She knew that if it helped her to heal so quickly she had to share this amazing gift with everybody. She became certified in both foot and hand reflexology and opened her Thunder Bay practice soon thereafter. Since then she has helped hundreds of people on their way to better health.  Sandy  sees clients Tuesday through Friday and does offer evening appointments twice a week.   "I want to make a difference in peoples lives. through Reflexology I am."
