Reflexology is more than a hand or foot massage. It is a total and holistic approach to treating all the organs and systems in the body in addition to the hands and feet themselves, and to counteracting the stresses and strains of our daily life. It is an effective drug-free way of helping the body to heal itself.

1. Re-Vitalizes personal energy by cleaning the body of toxins, clearing nerve pathways, and removing congested body fluids through improved blood circulation and metabolism;


2. Breaks up sodium urate crystals and calcium deposits which may collect around the terminal reflex nerve points in the hands and feet, and in and around body joints;


3. Is an aid to renew strength and fortitude by relieving fatigue, reducing stress and tension, and promoting deep relaxation;


4. Helps re-balance and harmonize body, mind, and spirit by normalizing organ and gland functions;


5. Harmonizes the chakra energy fields and thus influences the healing of the physical body.

Reflexology For Health is located at the base of the Mt. Tom State Reservation in Easthampton, MA which is part of the vast and beautiful Metacomet Ridge Mountains, with its extensive cliff faces, scenic vistas, and extensive forests filled with a wide variety of flora, fauna, streams and ponds.

You will have three options for the Reflexology treatment depending upon the season as listed below:

• Option 1: You will be invited to sit in a comfortable Recliner Chair in a knotty pine paneled room that is warm in winter and cool in summer. Around the room are attractive pictures, figurines, and objects of nature which add to the calming and peaceful atmosphere. (Quality incense or warming aromatherapy oils, and non-scented candles may be used only if requested by the client.)


• Option 2: During more comfortable weather you may sit on an outdoor lounge swing inside of a screen room facing the mountain and forest. You will be able to listen to the songs of birds, and watch other wildlife while enjoying the natural beauty around you. At times you will also be able to observe colorful hang gliders and hot air balloons gliding around the Mountain.


• Option 3: Sitting in a comfortable out door chair or lounge on a small knoll in the woodland next to our brook listening to the water swirl, and feeling the energy of forest and mountain, while enjoying the wildlife around you.

After choosing and sitting in your choice of locations you will then be asked to remove your shoes and socks and clean your feet with a sanitary pre-moistened aloe wet wipe. Then you will be asked to place your feet on a footstool which will have a covering of a soft towel.

You will be asked to clean your hands with a sanitary pre-moistened aloe wet wipe, and then place your arms on padded arm rests.

Various pressure techniques will be applied to your feet using thumbs, fingers, knuckles, and palms of the hand, providing steady and alternating movements to stimulate a flow of nerve impulses through the nervous system and energy meridians of the body. The pressure will be gentle to medium depending upon the sensitivities of the individual, and a top quality massage oil will be used which will sooth and soften the skin. As I work with my hands on your various reflex points I use my heart center, using visualization to support, sustain, and nurture your treatment.

While your hands or feet are being treated you may choose to listen to soothing and relaxing music playing in the background. You may have your choice of water, herbal teas, or another beverage during the session. You may chat, remain quiet, or gently drop off to a slight slumber. Questions and comments about the treatment are encouraged at any time. You will leave the Reflexology session feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and filled with a gentle peaceful feeling.

Please trim your finger and toe nails before any treatments.

For your health and safety please do not attempt a Reflexology Treatment if you have cuts, sores, bruises, broken bones, sprains to ligaments, strains (muscular tears), diseases, or anything else which may cause further damage to your hands or feet.
