Then working with Mary is for you:
Mary acknowledges your arrival with playful enthusiasm. She is philosophical, a deep lover of beauty, and eager to share her gift of touch. You'll delight in her insight and knowledge of what is occurring in your body as well as her support of your holistic approach to life.
A typical session with Mary is a generous 1 - 1 1/2 hours in length. She begins treating your feet with a warm, calming Epsom salt water bath, allowing you to remain as long as you like. She listens compassionately to your description of what you feel your body needs. Mary then discerns the exact type of touch your body is calling for and the special points of the nervous system that require the corresponding attention. Slowly yet skillfully, Mary applies her hands and fingertips to the designated areas of the feet while monitoring your level of sensitivity. She increases manual pressure as needed and with your permission before finishing with your ears and hands. Her fluid movement, gentle manipulation, and distinctive lying on of the hands causes your body to self-correct and heal.
In working with Mary, you will gain:
- Pain-free feet that fully support your occupational and recreational activities.
- The ability to get beyond chronic, painful, and debilitating illnesses.
- Freedom from gastrointestinal challenges and the ability to enjoy your favorite foods once again.
- Relief from hormone-related symptoms that have created difficulty in your pregnancy or menstrual cycle.
- An improved circulatory system that allows you to worry less about your health.
- A feeling of looseness and enhanced mobility in your neck, shoulders, and back.
- Full body relaxation that heightens well-being in every aspect of your life.
Why Reflexology is effective:
Reflexology is not new. Considered "The Expert Facilitator of the Body," it dates back to both ancient China and ancient Egypt where illustrations in the pyramids depict Reflexologists at work. This therapy stimulates the same points accessed during Acupuncture, but Reflexology works with points on the hands, feet, and ears that mirror those found on the rest of the body. Numerous scientific studies around the world prove the efficacy of Reflexology. One study conducted in the U.S. showed dramatic improvement in the PMS symptoms experienced by women who received regular treatments. Healing occurs during Reflexology when endorphins and other neural transmitters are released, thereby promoting stress reduction, relaxation, and the body's natural ability to restore itself to a state of good health.
Testimonials
"I was experiencing sporadic problems with digestion, constipation, and fatigue when a friend suggested I see Mary. Her touch was phenomenal - she applied her hands to my feet as skillfully as a surgeon and gave careful attention to all the right areas. My experience was both relaxing and therapeutic. Days later, I feel lighter, my mood is better, and I have more energy. Most importantly, my digestion has returned to its own natural function!"
