Reflexology is a complementary therapy that works on the feet or hands, enabling the body to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury, or disease, the body is in a state of “imbalance,” and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium and encourage healing. Rixie uses her hands to massage and apply pressure to the feet. Her belief is that the soles of the feet mirror the condition of the body. For each person the application and the effect of the therapy is unique. Her trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet, and by working on these points she can release blockages and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body. An increasing number of people are using this safe, natural therapy as a way of relaxing, balancing, and harmonizing the body.

I So Indulged My Feet

I so indulged my feet
in long walks
in the sands
of Grace,

That when it

came time

for me to go

home,

even my socks

felt foreign

to me.
