Will Reflexology help me?

This is the most common question I hear.  The medical centers think so (see my health benefits page), but I’m confident that YOU would know that answer within the first few sessions.

I made the effort to be trained by the world's foremost experts in reflexology so your time spent with me will be as productive and effective as possible.  2010 is my seventh year in practice.

I strive to provide an authoritative and therapeutically effective blend of reflexology as taught by my teachers. I feel very privileged to have been trained by the creators of four of the most clinically effective forms of modern clinical reflexology starting with the “Godfather” of modern reflexology, Mr. Dwight Byers of the International Institute of Reflexology (IIR) who provided my foundation then added Bill Flocco’s ear reflexology styles and Father Joseph’s Foot Style from Taiwan.  Anthony Porter’s post grad “Advanced Reflexology Techniques” (ART) assure my skills are fine tuned to the highest international standards. Dr. Dan Lobash teaches me Korean Hand Therapy and Master John Cole instructs me in Qi Gong Therapy.  Healing Touch is the newest modality to be added to the blend.  My Symbiotic Systems Clinical Reflexology is a blend of these influences and more.

I seem to have the most success with pain and female health issues so I've chosen to focus on these concerns.  I've been trained by the people who actually participated in the PMS clinical trials often cited as examples of the benefits of reflexology. You'll note the medical centers speak very highly and often regarding both pain and female concerns including infertility.

People often ask me how I got into reflexology so here is the story: I started "Good For You" in 1990 selling health related products. Studied herbs, homeopathy this, that, and the other thing, and then clicked with aromatherapy because of effectiveness and few contradictions and side effects around 1995.  I invented "Lice Rx", a non-toxic head lice treatment in 1997 (licerx.com), then "Scabies salvation" (mtnhigh.com) a few years later.  I was looking for a complementary therapy to aromatherapy and remembered in Dr. Christopher’s Book, "School of Natural Healing" he mentioned a guy in Canada in the early 1900's who people would travel for weeks to see, stay a week or so and be healed of all kinds of maladies all through the feet without drugs or diagnosis.  Years later, on a whim, I took a beginning reflexology class.  The instructors said I was a natural.  I was hooked from first contact with a foot and three weeks later I was in Florida in a advanced reflexology class with the worlds foremost expert.  I have since made it a point to study with the world's foremost experts to bring these skills to aid in your healing.

People often ask me about my past so here is that story: Dropped out of high school to go to college.  I've been self employed almost all my life.  Operated "Extraordinary Expeditions", a natural history/adventure tour company to Costa Rica from 1982 to 1992. Was in the top three percent and Idaho State Champion in the National Investment Challenge (early 90's), awarded "Best General Newspaper Column" by Idaho Press Club for my newspaper column on economics (early 90's), managed the local farmers market for 12 years, created and financed with the help of the Wood River High School Honor Society the "Food For Thought School Breakfast Program" in 2002 which has been providing breakfasts for families who could use some financial help feeding their children ever since. I was on the Hailey (my city) Economic Development Committee for years.

A student of natural healing methods for 20 years, a student of qi qong for 23 years, an aroma therapist for 15 years, an ART trained reflexologist for 3 of seven years of reflexology, three years Korean Hand therapy, healing qi qong, light therapy and Healing Touch all combine to help you with my work.

I'm not a doctor, nor do I try and be/replace one.  Nor do I make any claims.  As far as I'm concerned, I lay my hands on you and God does the rest.  Major medical centers and clinical trials say what reflexology is beneficial for I feel competent and confident my training and experience can help you if your condition is listed.  


CURRENT EVENTS

March 2010

I'm closing both my offices in ketchum and Hailey, and then moving into an office with three smaller offices so that I may persue my dream of low cost effective health care using symbiotic drugless modalities to restore health to my clients.  I'm very excited. Up until now, i've made do with offices instead of getting what I really need.  This time, opening April 2nd (to avoid foolishness), my new clinic in Hailey on Bullion behind LL Greens Hardware is just what I need.

I’ve had good success with migraines, sciatica and wrist pain often called “carpal tunnel” and knee trouble of all kinds.  Not being a doctor I’m not qualified to say what the condition is or what caused it, but I am qualified to help with pain of all kinds without drugs.  I love to see people with no hope first regain hope and then realize the hope.  Living in a ski and summer play resort, acute pain is a specialty.  My new clinic will offer me the space I need to help more people.

Spring 2010
