I found your site very interesting. I am just at the beginning
of my career as a Reflexologist here in Scotland - already I am
meeting lots of lovely people and helping them to reach their
level of body balance. Incidently this is the name I gave to my
company. I am a member of the Scottish Institute of Reflexology.
Bye for now, Marie Breward.

Oma,
I trained a few years ago in massage and am certified in California.
I do not have the national certifcation and have not really practiced
what I learned. I have always been interested in Reflexology and
wanted to head in that direction originally, but got side tracked.
Do you have classes there...
I have been up to Victoria and would like to check out the San
Juans, but have not...so beautiful.
I have searched the web sites here looking for seminars and schools
locally but have not found training being offered. The Body Thereapy
Center in Palo Alto, CA where I took my massage training does
offer a class now and then and I will start there, but was hoping
for more formal training... what do you suggest?
My friend (whose computer I use) just recently went through breast
cancer surgery and had problems with the draing tubes etc. she
is still very sore in the arm pit area...I must get some of the
Reflexology books and try to help in her healing process.
I would love to meet you. We may be planning a trip north in
the spring.
thanks for this site.
Sue

Greetings Oma! I have been surfing for information and schools/traingings/seminars
on reflexology. I am very interested in this type of healing.
If you or anyone that reads this post can suggest any schools
or colleges, seminars etc., to become certified, I would be forever
greatful. Oma thank you for your wisdom and this wonderful website.

I am now a qualified reflexologist, and have a keen interest in
all alternative therapies. I am at university at the moment studying
Radiography, but wish to continue my studies of alternative therapies
within the National health Service. I've been told that an acupuncture
course is available and I am keen to follow it. It's good to see
that a reflexologist such as yourself can still carry on and enjoy
what they are doing for such a long time and be helping to heal
people at the same time. Keep up the good work!!!

Dear Oma, I live south of Seattle and would like to try reflexology.

I do believe in reflexology, both my mum & I have weekly sessions
and it's helped with blood circulation. Used to have leg cramps
in the mornings but since I've started the sessions the cramps
are history. It's great that you've started a page to educate
the public about the benefits. Keep up the good work.

I've just completed a course in Alternative Medicines and my concentration
was Reflexology. I would like to become a certified Reflexologist.
I've a BA in Education and have been taking courses through the
Pathway Institute (UHN) and will eventually have a Masters in
Helath Education but in the meantime - I've found Reflexology
the key to health and wellness for me personally and have been
able to achieve fantastic results with people I've done worked
on for my paper. Some of the nearest schools - that offer a Certificate
- would be most helpful. Thank you! Nancy

Hi Oma! We have a mutual acquaintance -- Kate Sievers. I go to
her for reflexology treatment. Kate was a tremendous help, especially
for stress. She told me about your webpage. I'm sure she'd be
glad to know I found it. I'm saying hello for Kate also!
I'm a new diabetic and noticed that my glucose numbers decreases
after reflexology treatment. Now, if I could only continue to
consistently practice good diet and exercise regimen, I might
later be able to beat this disease.
Please suggest parts or points to concentrate on for diabetes
treatment? In particular, since I'm a Type II, insulin-resistant
diabetic, ways to make my cells more receptive to my own insulin
would help eliminate wild fluctuations in my blood glucose numbers.
Thanks!

I've enjoyed your page for some time now and was hoping you could
help me out. I am a reflexologist in Cincinnati, Ohio, and recently
I was told that massage was contraindicated in cancer cases as
the stimulation of the lymphatic system actually spreads cancer.
I often work with cancer patients and am concerned now that reflexology
may harm them (although I've never had any indication to this
effect). Can you advise me in regard to this matter?

I was searching the web for information about "shockra". I'm not

I thought I might find some more information. Can you suggest

They were described to me as bodily zones that act as gateways
to deep emotions. I'd like to learn more. If you can help me,
I'd appreciate it.

Oma,
I was wondering if you had lived in California 12 years ago. I
had a health-altering foot reflexology treatment at The Summit
Lighthouse health center in Calabasas, CA. I have been looking
for the person to thank them and I was wondering if you were the
one? Do you practice now in Canada (where) and do you receive
visiting clients? Do you offer training? I noticed there was mention
of it through the site. I would be very interested if so. Thanks
much, sonyah(at)earthlink.net

Hi Oma and fellow readers ... just a very quick note to share
my extreme new found happiness , the INTERNET and of course REFLEXOLOGY!!!!
I just received my certificate from RAC and have begun to work
with it. I have been blessed to have the opportunity of learning
hands-on by working with my instructor who taught me the course.
I now know I have found my path - I have always wanted to help
people but never knew in what capacity ... God works in mysterious
ways as I'm sure you already know. Much thanks to you and all
the inspriration you give to so many through your work and this
website. Finding you here has been a great gift!!
I look forward to more reading and continued learning - thanks
again

Greetings, Oma Have been practicing Reflexology (Ingham method)
for five years now. Still get excited with each little improvement
in my clients (as are they).
Honored to sign your guestbook. You seem to be so dedicated to
helping people, however you can. I'm new to internet, so I was
thrilled to find you. Love reading all the notes people have written
you from all over the world. They are so interesting and rewarding.
Will send you some of my experiences in the near future.
Also, I'll let you know about what's going on here in Alabama
with our newly formed Association. We are presently in the middle
of trying to get an amendment to the current massage law passed
here regarding exemption for Reflexologists in our state. Wish
us luck! You already know that we need it.
We have a great group here, tho small. I'll pass on any good news
that comes our way. I feel very positive about our chances for
exemption. Hope I don't sound too naive, since so many state organizations
have run into stumbling blocks from every direction. Maybe Alabama
will be THE exception!

Hi Oma
I am a student and I want to thank you for the help that your
pages gave to me when I had an assignment on Reflexology the subject
has opened my eyes to alternative healing and thanks to you I
got an "A".
Keep up the good work
