Swift and beautiful

dog show borzoisI attended the Detroit Kennel Club dog show recently. It was wonderful to see so many different breeds of dogs under one roof. I was especially struck by the similarities and differences between the dainty Italian greyhounds and the majestic Borzois. Both are sighthounds, both are swift and beautiful runners, but at entirely different ends of the scale!

Our feet come in many shapes and sizes, too, and have traveled sometimes fast and sometimes slowly along any number of unique paths before coming to the reflexologist. Many feet are tired and tense. But muscles can be eased, tension can be released and energy increased through therapeutic foot massage, so that our feet can once again carry us with suppleness and support. Swift as they need to be, beautiful in the execution of their seemingly simple task, to carry us through life.

The world on your back

I would encourage everyone to treat their body as if it were a house, all systems well-maintained, where one can both shelter and celebrate.

Hello world!

feet in sandalsI am just starting to do the work required to launch this website in support of my new practice as a reflexologist. I’m finding it very exciting and very challenging as I clarify who I am and what I am able to offer you as my client. I hope you will be patient as I work toward my goal of building a gentle, healing reflexology practice.
