EducatorsFrankie Avalon Wolfe, PhD Author, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Reflexology As a practitioner, author and instructor of reflexology for decades, I have not come across a more thorough, well rounded instruction manual on the topic. Reflexology is not massage, and Ms. Stone’s work clearly demonstrates that reflexology is its own, “stand-alone” therapy. This is a must have text for serious students and instructors of the practice and art of reflexology. Irina Breslav, MS, ARCB “Therapeutic Reflexology is a work-labor of love and reflects absolute dedication to our beloved profession of Reflexology. The book is a TREMENDOUS resource for all who want to learn and deepen their knowledge of hands on healing through Reflexology.” Professional TherapistsVicki Ratcliff Professional Certified Reflexologist “Therapeutic Reflexology separates the hobbyist from the professional. It tells why you do things and the thinking behind it.” |
