In Praise of Women As Natural Healers

Now, more than at any time before in the history of the world, women are taking on challenges that transcend our gender. Women are working in every career and at all levels. Yet, even with all of our societal progress, women are often ultimately responsible for childrearing and all of the details that accompany running a household. It is no wonder that so many women feel overwhelmed by all the claims on their time and energy!

Many of my female clients come to me seeking the strength to be up for all of life’s challenges. Yet what I teach (actually, what I help my clients remember, because on a soul level we all know this to be true!) is that you already have all of the strength, answers and resources within you. The key to unleashing your innately powerful self is deep relaxation plus the loving acceptance of how wonderful you truly are.

“A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create,
nurture and transform.” – Diane Mariechild

Reflexology is the perfect way for a woman to take time out to relax, to be nurtured, to experience her own sense of self-worth. I have seen reflexology help women from a wide variety of backgrounds, and with all kinds of challenges. No matter how the challenges manifest, my clients and students agree that reflexology profoundly relaxes them, allowing their body, mind and spirit to heal faster. Reflexology also helps calm the inner chatter of the mind, so the answers to life’s challenges can “bubble up.”

“Nothing is so healing as the human touch.” – Bobby Fischer

Reflexology offers the unique healing gift of helping to balance a woman’s internal equilibrium. Applying gentle but firm pressure to the pressure/reflex points on your feet, hands, ears and face allows your body’s systems to return to their natural vibrancy. Some of Reflexology’s positive, powerful effects include:

Restoring emotional balance – relaxing the body, mind and spirit promotes balance and a sense of renewed energy

Enhancing inner and outer beauty – with increased circulation, your face and skin ‘glow’ and you look and feel younger.

My clients and students marvel at how much easier life becomes when they are centered, feeling great and fully in touch with their inner resources. It is not always about being “strong” – it is often about accepting our gift as women of being natural healers by our gentle, loving presence.

“The greatest gift you can give another is the purity of your attention.” – Robert Moss

By our ability to be fully present with others, we empower them to become their best. They sense our love, feel our light and can open to their own higher selves.

I have seen how a career in Reflexology helps women (and men) fully develop their own intuitive healing gifts. Being able to heal your own partner and children is very empowering. Having a lucrative, rewarding career on your own schedule, while helping others find their inner power, is truly priceless!

“There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an
inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another
person has infinite consequences.” – Caroline Myss
