Walk To Health will be moving locations

Walk To Health will be moving locations between August 16 and September 17.  Time slots for appointments will be limited.  We thank you for your patience while we move.  The new location is still  an Aurora address.  Once we are set up in our new location, when you schedule your appointment, you will receive the new address with your confirmation email.  It is about 6 miles from the current location.

We are sorry for the limited time slots available, moving does take time and effort.

We are excited about the new location and are looking forward to getting back on the regular schedule to serve you and your needs.

Please contact us if you have questions, concerns or immediate needs.  Reflexologist and Holistic Health Coach Lynn, will get back to you as soon as possible.

We are looking to have an open house and perhaps a give away at that open house.

See you in the fall at the new location!

Reflexology isn't just a foot massage

As I talk to new clients and people out and about, I find more often than not, people believe reflexology is just a nice foot massage. 

It is not, it is a modality that has been around for over 5000 recorded years, helping to assist the body to function as it should. 

If you have issues in your body systems not functioning properly, you might want to consider making an appointment with a Reflexologist in your area.  You will be amazed at the results your body will see. 

It is important to go in well hydrated and hydrate after. 

If you have never had a session, you might want to treat yourself to one.

God's blessings to you...

The History of Reflexology in the US.

William H. Fitzgerald, MD, was a forward thinking medical doctor of the early 1900’s who is frequently referred to in the United States as the father of reflexology.  He wrote in 1917, about ten vertical zones that extended the length of the body.

In his research he found that the application of pressure to a zone that corresponded to the location of an injury could serve as relief of pain during minor surgeries.

Dr. Shelby Riley, further expanded Dr Fitzgerald’s work, and developed a map of horizontal zones going across the body and a detailed map of reflex points on the feet and hands. At the same time Dr. Riley suggested additional pressure points on the outer ear.

Dr. Riley also came up with apercussion system to help send the messages to the brain giving a quicker body response.  This percussion machine is used today by Full Spectrum Reflexologists trained at the Modern Institute of Reflexology founded by Zachery Brinkerhoff, who trained under Eunice Ingham.  This is where I trained.

Eunice Ingham-Stopfel, a physiotherapist who worked for Dr. Riley, is a very prominent figure in the development of reflexology here in the United States. In her research with zone therapy's pressure points, she found the feet to be the most sensitive and responsive. She developed the foot maps that are still in use today and introduced reflexology practices to the non-medical community in the 1930s. Ms. Ingham-Stopfel, DR, also designed one of the most commonly used reflexology charts.

Today I carry on this practice in Oregon, Full Spectrum Reflexology.  Get to know your body better and help it come to better health naturally.  Appointments Available.  Let's work up a plan to help you realize your highest potential.

What do you Suffer from? Would Reflexology help your body help itself?

Reflexology is a lost modality that is finally coming back into being in the know. This modality works with your body to help your body be able to heal itself.

Working on the feet helps your brain tell your cells how to fix it's body by way of the reflex points that are 'worked' on the feet. Reflexology is not a modality that you use only if you have foot pain. Reflexology is a modality that you use to aid your body in self reconstruction at a cellular level naturally, with the amazing design that God gave us in our bodies.

In our western world we have been told that we need a pill and that will fix all. I am here to tell you that that is not true, nor is it healthy.

Here is a list of a few things in your body that you could see improvement on, due to your body doing the work it should be doing as a result of Reflexology.

Arthritis, Asthma, Breathing Difficulties, Cancer, Colitis, Depression, Diabetes, Endocrine disorders, Hemorrhoids, Migraine, Sprains, Sciatica, etc etc... The list goes on and on.

Baffled about Reflexology

Why would working on someone's feet cause effect in another part of your body? Have you ever thought that the bottoms of your feet could be reflex points for each part of your body?

A Reflexologist will by hand or tool, will work the reflex points in the feet, hands or ears, or all three. When a tender spot is found, the Reflexologist will work that spot to break up congestion that is in that area.

Those congested areas short circuit the messages sent by the nervous system to the brain. So when cleaned out by way of Reflexology, your body then can start working in the way that it was created to do so.

If you are not well hydrated, or if the congestion is released too quickly, it can make you uncomfortable, because of the release of toxins from the effected part of the body. This is all good, but you may not want to work through 'detox' quite so fast.

You get to decide how you will work through congestion. Talk with your Reflexologist to help her know how your body responds to the work she is doing.

Foot Reflexology can improve the well being of a person. It also can restore health in conditions that stubbornly resist more conventional approaches.

Frequently I am asked how often should a person have a treatment. My response is that you need to decide how quickly your body can handle detox. Though it is advised that you are seen once a week for 3 weeks. After the 3 weeks we can evaluate how you are feeling. The treatment could then go to once a month for 3-6 months and then revisit again. You and your body, and your condition will be the best judge of how often you will need a treatment.
