I am currently studying Beauty Therapy and have completed a short
course on Reflexology. After witnessing and hearing about the amazing
effects of such treatments I have since decided to choose Reflexology
as my thesis topic. Your page has been a great source of both interest
and information. Thank you.

I have enjoyed browsing around your site, it is helpful and contains
a lot of practical information.
There is some information however that I am looking for and have not
been able to find much on, and that is in the area of athletes and
reflexology.
Because I am fairly new in practicing reflexology I am looking for
any available information that may be known about sports and reflexology.
I have a unique opportunity to work with elite athletes this summer.
If you have any expierences, suggestons, idea's ect... about the subject
it would be great to hear about them.
Thanks

Hello Oma, How are you? I am writing to you on behalf of Freya Hoekstra.
Freya is the mother of a friend of mine. She is 63 years old and has
colon cancer. I am here at her house today helping her make vegetable
juices because she has difficulty keeping solid foods down. Freya
is slowly awakening to the spiritual aspect of her position and needs
to communicate with people who are already on such a path. On May
30th Freya is going to have a colostomy. If you have information that
would be useful to her now and for after the operation she would be
grateful. Or if you would like to be a spiritual support person and
communicate with Freya over the internet. She is not very familiar
with computers but I have asked her son-in-law if he would be the
middle man and help to get your messages to Freya and visa-versa.
Freya is a very beautiful woman and is very open to learning what
her position is here to teach her.
So liebes Omalein, I love you ever so much and I pray that the ever
luminous light continues to shine through you. I did not go to Seattle
this weekend because it was not well planned on my part. If you would
like to come and visit us here in Duncan I would be thrilled. I hope
you had a wonderful birthday and a wonderful visit with Thomas. I
am looking forward to his visit. I love you.
Sonja. |

Oma, I recently took a reflexology course for self knowledge and received
a copy of a foot diagram that indicated each area of the foot that
represented what part of the body for pressure and relief. I have
lost that paper and am looking for information on this again. I am
not a professional this is only for my own use and for my husbands.
Please tell me where I could find a diagram of this again. I really
enjoyed it, I found it to be interesting as well as truly helpful.
Thank you. Barbie |

Hi there, nice that you give info on urine therapy. I run an elaborate
(
site on urine therapy)
which might be interesting to add to your info on urine therapy.
In Germany there will be a Second World Conference on Urine Therapy
in the summer of 1998; info also on my UT website. I am the author
of a book on urine therapy, which is a bestseller in Europe (The Golden
Fountain; The Complete Guide to Urine Therapy). Have you seen this
book already? I wish you all best with your wonderful site and I'll
put it in my Favorite Links. Greetings, Coen |

Hi Oma,
This is Carol Riddles's cousin -- we met at the Open House last month.
I hope you received the photos. I really enjoyed meeting you and seeing
the Center. It was obvious how much love you put into it, and I am
sure Carol will continue in the healing tradition. I recall you mentioned
a student of yours working out of San Francisco.
Would you be so kind as to tell me how I can get in touch with her/him?
I am doing research for a chiropractor in Pacifica who is considering,
(not decided) expanding his practice to include other healing arts
including reflexology. It is for this reason I make this inquiry.
I look forward to your reply.

Dear Oma,
My apology for using this column for a request rather than a comment
or a suggestion.
I have been acquainted with reflexology since the last 20 years and
practiced it from time to time when the need arises. Alas there was
very limited books around to really 'pinpoint' the exact location
of the reflex point. Most of the time it was just a guess from looking
to an obscure drawing or diagram and massaging the area until the
pain intensified and then subdued followed by 'apparent' healing of
the 'illness' which is self-satisfying.
I am so satisfied with the result that I would like to promote to
my family and friends but time and time again I hesitate in pointing
the right/correct location of the reflex point. Can you help my predicament?
Anything that helps me find the right resources/books/drawing available
internationally.
I have seen your recommended list of resources and books but so many
of them that left me more confused. I rather go straight to you Oma
and with your wealth of experience in this field you should be able
recommend me one or two books or drawings comprehensive enough and
accurate to be kept forever.
Many thanks Oma for your attention and kind help. |

I am a massage therapist and I use reflexology, aromatherapy, music
therapy, and light therapy to enhance the effects.
I have had working knowledge of reflexology for over 25 years, but
have only been trained and practicing for 4.
I know reflexology is a sound science. I trust my body and the messages
it sends to me. My mind chooses reflexology over any other modality
in the healing arts...it knows what is good for it.
A favorite story of mine is about one day when I was having work done
to me by Fredis Busby. She was working away on my big toe in the nexk
area (I am reclining in a salon chair) when "CRACK"! goes my neck.
My neck had adjusted itself. It made such a loud sound and jerked
with such force we both started laughing.
THANK YOU OMA. I love everything you have provided here, it is wonderful
information. |

Dear Oma,
I love your web site. I have two questions I would like to ask you.
I am an American living abroad and would like to know if you know
of any book in English written specifically about what emotional disorders
are connected to specific physical disorders.
I believe that most of our physical dis-eases are caused by emotional
imbalances. I would like to treat the cause as well as the effect.
My next question is I will be in Rome in the beginning of May and
would like to try and get in contact with Monica Wightman.
Do you know if she has an e-mail address I can reach her through?
Thank you for all your information and the time you put into it.
Forever questioning and learning,
Tess |

We have a new address that I will be sending you. Take care.

Maybe I can adopt you via the internet. Love to hear from you. Thanks,

at a very young age, I don't believe I'd be walking today. I quit
walking at age 5 due to extreme problems with my hip joints . I can

I am curently living in Florida and would like to find a reputable
certification program here in Orlando, can you help me out with that?

This is the first time I have visited your page, and I immediately
enjoyed it. Also, your chat about an HIV infected male and your help
gave me some inspiration. My 30 year old step-daughter also is HIV
positive, and shamefully, had not thought about reflexology. I will
give it a try. Is there any place in particular that one should give
extra attention? I will also check my sources, but did not know about
the urine treatment either. I was blessed years ago getting to learn
how to do reflexology and feel this is indeed a God-given gift to
keep us going...and it really has kept myself and my mother of 70
on track. I will be putting you in my Favorite Place on the computer,
and will be checking in with you again. Thanks! |

Hello Oma, How delighful it is to read your website. I have bookmarked
it so I can go back to it as often as I need and as quick as I want.
I have recently graduated from a Reflexology course although I became
aware of this alternative medecine 15 years ago and very few therapists
were available then in Canada. It is such a marvelous way to meet
people as you provide them with comfort and many times ectasy. I have
devoured your comments and I am not done yet of course as I savour
your thoughts. It is such a nice feeling to be able to help others
and to put a smile on their faces. I must say I enjoy massaging the
feet. It seems that I go into a trance while I am working on a foot.
I close my eyes and try to feel the problem areas and focus on improving
the troubled feet. Anyhow I must go and I hope that you keep on writing
because we do need your experience. Thank you for being who you are.
