Celebrate World Reflexology Week!
It is hard to believe that it is already September, but the crisper night air and leaves starting to change color here in Vermont confirm that fall is arriving. As a reflexologist, this is one of the most exciting times of the year because it is an opportunity to share more information with everyone about the benefits of reflexology during World Reflexology Week.
During the last week in September, reflexologists around the globe participate in World Reflexology Week, a recognition week launched by the International Council of Reflexologists. For those who are unfamiliar with reflexology, it is a profoundly relaxing, unique touch technique that targets points on the feet, hands, and ears corresponding to the rest of the body in order to promote overall wellness. Reflexologists hold events in their home communities to share resources, teach self-care techniques, and educate. This year, many are also collecting clothing and nonperishable food items to donate.
Here are some ways you can celebrate:
Join a Zoom session on Thursday, September 24 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern/4:00 p.m. Pacific to learn more about the World Reflexology Foundation, a non-profit organization working to make it possible for everyone in the world to receive the benefits of reflexology by providing services and instruction in self-help and family-help reflexology. More details coming soon.
If you are an existing client and/or have attended one of my reflexology self-care workshops or presentations, sign up for a free 10-15 minute online tutorial on one of the World Reflexology Foundation’s suggested points for stress relief. (Email melanie@mpathwellbeing.com, or call (802) 265-0446 to schedule a time.)
If you have enjoyed the benefits of reflexology, tell your family and friends about your experience..
