Myths and Secrets of Deep-tissue Massage
Before opening my own practice, I worked in a spa.

Most therapists at the spa were women who found performing deep tissue massage exhausting.

Forearm massage for the feet
In massage school, I received 15 hours of reflexology training within my program. It was during this training that I first witnessed maps that linked various body parts and organs to specific areas of the foot. In class, I traced across the sole of my partner’s foot while looking at reflexology maps. I’d heard stories, from people who had travelled in Asia, that reflexologists could diagnose headaches, digestive problems, and other physical ailments. Although my program did not offer enough training to diagnose such things – nor qualify me to include “reflexologist” on my business card – I did come to know that I could give a great foot massage. I could work out “crystals” on the sole of the foot, stimulate nerve endings and all the organs I could remember from the reflexology map, and turn tired and achy feet into light and happy ones.
