Employment survey results show that there is quite a disconnect between what people say they want from their chosen career and what really makes them happy. When surveyed, people say they want a career that pays well and offers opportunity for advancement. And, when employees are asked what creates the most job satisfaction, what matters most to them is having a sense of purpose and feeling appreciated.
"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."
– Confucius
Careers that offer the opportunity to help others rank higher in overall job satisfaction. People are becoming very creative in finding ways to "have it all" – a larger income and more personal satisfaction!
"Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it." – Buddha
In the Holistic programs we offer for training Reflexologists, many of our students tell us they came to our program to create a path for themselves toward a new, more fulfilling career. By allowing them to incorporate their reflexology practice into their current health and beauty careers, they look forward to increased earnings as well as the satisfaction of helping others on a soul level.
"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile." – Mother Teresa
One of the many wonderful aspects of reflexology (and one of its best-kept secrets) is how energy-giving it is for the practitioner. By working on the various pressure points of the feet, hands, face and ears, a circuit of energy is opened between the client and the reflexologist that benefits both.
"`I originally took Laura’s Professional Certification Program to earn CE’s and to expand my resume. Then I got the massage therapist position at the healing center I now work at because of my reflexology training. Now it is the focus of my practice! More and more clients want to both relax and heal, and reflexology is great for both! I’m now seen as a specialist, so I get paid more, and feel energized, too!"
– Sara G, LMT, Reflexologist
Some reflexologists keep their day job and start their practice as a second career, part-time in the evenings and on weekends, to supplement their income. Often, after they build their reflexology business to their desired income level, they are able to shift to practicing Reflexology full-time.
Reflexology, considered by the World Health Organization to be the leading alternative therapy in the 21
century, is enjoying a whole new level of popularity. Now is the perfect time to pave a new, more rewarding career path for yourself where you can have it all! Increase your income, increase your sense of purpose and appreciation and most of all, increase your joy!
"Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself." – Ralph Waldo Emerson
