Reflexology - an ancient therapy with practical applications for today's health.

Whether you have serious health issues or are simply looking to enhance the healthy practices you already use, reflexology has something valuable to offer. It is a non-invasive, completely safe, impressively relaxing and tonifying experience - and it is also very effective at helping your body help itself to better health!   

Creating opportunities to heal ...

Reflexology works on your body, promoting healing from the inside out, based on the theory of reflex points on your hands and feet that correspond to organs and glands in your body.

I use gentle alternating pressure on all the reflex points for your hands and feet. This engages your body's energy systems in the process of self-healing. Toxins that become stored in your body as a result of injuries, stress, illness, and environmental factors can be released from the organs and glands so that your body can process and remove them.

Mission Statement:

Ideally, my mission statement would be to heal everyone everywhere, one foot at a time. Realistically, however, it is this:

     The mission of Karen Grabowski & Joyful Soles is to provide the people who come to me with an opportunity to heal themselves - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually - through reflexology treatments given in a safe, caring, non-judgemental environment. 

  

Scope of Practice:

Specific techniques and areas of application define the unique quality of reflexology as opposed to any other practice. The traditional practice of reflexology primarily focuses on the theory of reflex maps and their representation on the feet, hands, and outer ears. Reflexology as a mnaul practice consists of working with specific finger, thumg, and hand techniques in order to stimulate reflex points onthe feet, hands, and outer ears.
