I had a client with RLS, he found relief from reflexology, you might too! (See his review in the comments!)

REFLEXOLOGY RESEARCH FRIDAYS! Today, we are focusing on a study that shows how foot reflexology from a practitioner and self-help exercises can help those suffering from MS dealing with restless legs syndrome and sleep quality symptoms. Published less than a month ago, you can find the study at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42466006. It is wonderful to see the increase in reflexology research to confirm what we as practitioners see/experience in our own practices with our clients.

Interested in learning more about reflexology and how to become a practitioner yourself? Check out our website and upcoming schedule at https://lauranorman.com/reflexology-course-schedule. There is still time to be part of an amazing in-person reflexology training at the beautiful, peaceful, invigorating, inspirational Omega Institute. RSVP ASAP at https://www.eomega.org/workshops/laura-norman-holistic-reflexology.

In therapy we are talking about how to deal with anxiety in a productive, healthy way.
Anxiety spikes our adrenaline. The idea behind this If we don’t actively work off that spike, we loop back to our anxiety, creating an internal circuit rather than allowing it to run its course and exit our body.
Think of circulating the air in your car, vs bringing in outside air. 🔁
Anxiety = Adrenaline = Action
My therapist says “get up and vacuum!”
I am sure I butchered the explanation of this, but there you have it.

Please don’t apologize if you think your feet are “ugly”
I do not care about the aesthetic of your feet.
Your feet are beautiful because they have carried you through this life.
Edit to add: I am curious about calluses, they can tell interesting stories! (More on that later!)

I was re-reading some of The Four Agreements today and found myself growling like Roy Kent at a Self realization I did not want to have.
It is now my choice how I respond.
That is always our choice.

So, today the part of Ted Lasso will be played by Don Miguel Ruiz and the part of Roy Kent will be played by me. (Roy Kent sticker by the amazing Karen Hallion )

I get this question a lot, “Will I automatically get Reiki if I come to you for Reflexology?” The short answer is no.
For many reasons, first and foremost being consent.
I am always happy to discuss the various modalities I offer, and the differences in them!
