If you’re new to Chinese Reflexology, you may be wondering exactly how does Qi (energy) work to heal your body and more importantly, does it really work?
I know I felt that way when I was first introduced to Chinese Reflexology. I remember when my husband suggested it to me, I wrinkled up my nose and asked, “Reflexology? Isn’t that where they rub your feet? How can that help me?” It was especially ironic since I was really into alternative healing and had tried all sorts of things like naturopathy, craniosacral, Reiki, Shiatsu, acupuncture, etc.
Obviously, I became a believer!!! 🙂
So, if you’re looking for some inspiration to lift your spirits, I’ve gathered together a collection of stories from readers and clients on how reflexology made a difference in their lives. Enjoy!
These stories inspire me too! As a full-time mom, there are days where after my son has gone to bed, I just want to curl up in bed and do absolutely nothing (or read some trashy paranormal romance novel).
On those days, I re-read these wonderful and amazing words of appreciation and my mood brightens, my energy lifts and I feel inspired to write another article or plan another workshop. Thank you.
Without further adieu, here are the inspiring stories…
“I came to Holly during a crisis moment in my life: my dad was hospitalized and within days he went from a healthy glowing person, to not being able to walk, eat, breath, or do much of anything on his own due to a severe case of pancreatitis and a botched gall bladder surgery.
When he was moved to the ICU, we were terrified for his life and for his vital organs. After many days in the hospital, my dad started losing function of his vital organs. My dad unable to urinate, and we were terrified that he’d lose kidney function and be put on dialysis.
So, I called on Holly to help save my dad’s life. Holly listened to my dad’s situation, both as a reflexologist and as an intuitive practitioner, to see how to best address his issues. Holly helped me unblock energies stuck in his organs. I worked reflexology points to stimulate his kidneys, bladder, pancreas, and clear lymph.
I used the kidney points daily, and we experienced incredible results. Slowly, my dad was able to urinate again, and his kidneys tested to be stronger than the doctor’s had assessed!
By massaging his feet daily, it seems that we have brought my dad back to life. He himself now agrees that if it weren’t for the foot massage and Holly’s advice, that he might not be alive today.
The bounce back time took patience, but my dad is now acting like himself again, is back walking, and he is heading to a rehab facility on Saturday!” – Amanda Noelle
“My cold was completely gone within two and half days. The other people in my office that had the cold were sick for 7-10 days” – Julie
I suffer with migraine headache for quite a while now last I found you website on foot reflexology. Honestly at first I was sure if I’m doing it correctly. But for the first time in my life I woke in the morning with no headache. – Belinda
“Thank you so much for sharing, I suffer from seasonal allergies for 7 years already. For the entire 2 months, I massage these area on a daily basis, and I feel I am full with energy now because I can actually sleep at night without waking up every 2 hours, not to mention that the allergy symptoms have gone away. Life is beautiful with a healthy body!” – Sophie
“Thanks to your lessons the kidney infection cleared up just before the Holidays. I am forever grateful that I happened upon your site (not even sure how it happened – I was panicked and searching for anything I could find on the Internet and all that I found seemed to cause even more panic until I found your story and your lessons and was finally able to calm myself and begin to heal.” – Lisa
“Thank you so much for the presentation. I suffer from sinuses and right now because we are in the dead of winter and have the heat on constantly, our home is very dry. for the last few days, I have woke with with very dry throat, mucous in my nose and throat…I sound like a smoker hacking up stuff in the morning. disgusting!
Anyway, I just now had time to sit down and watch the presentation and can tell you that i feel different, clearer, since doing the routine on my feet. my neck has been stiff and I feel it much looser now, my nose feels clear and my lungs more open. Since i’m going to bed now, i’ll do it again in the morning and hopefully the good results will continue.” – Marilyn
“Your advice helped my sinus infection leave in 48 hours!!” – Johanna
“I had been practicing it on myself and my 3 boys since end of fall season. The feet pics and instructions are clear and easy to follow. What could I say? They worked and very effective in preventing the cold cycle becoming full blown. – Phay
“I want to thank you, I had a problem in my hand that wasn’t healing since a week, after using the info u provided and applying it it started healing. I look forward to learn more from you. wish you a happy day, cheers :).”
“Greetings from your Northern neighbours!
I have my first level of Reiki and I have been using self-taught reflexology on my children and my husband for about 10 years.
My son’s allergies are going wild right now. Spring in Canada, and I stumbled across your site.
Thank you! I used the allergy sequence, but on his hands, as it was more comfortable for him. He is finally sleeping soundly.” – Tracey
“I started the techniques last night, did a round this morning as I woke up to try to nip a cold that’s just starting. I feel energized even right after massaging the specific points on the feet. Thanks again!”
“My son had a terrible sore throat and stuffy nose Thursday. We were leaving Saturday for a week-long road trip. I bought Holly’s Self-Study Guide on Cold Recovery and Prevention, and massaged his feet. My son said he could actually FEEL his throat getting less sore and his nose started clearing up. He’s feeling better…..WooHoo! It works!” – Marielle
“Holly, your pink eye reflexology totally worked (gone the next day). Took 3×5 minute treatments and my eye was back to white the next day. I’m a firm believer that your mind can heal your body. Natural and eastern medicine has many more benefits and little to no side effects, especially when compared with medical doctors and drugs.” – Nuno
“My daughter is 10, suffering from headaches almost on a daily basis. As a mother, you can probably understand how stressful it is for both me and her. Watching your child suffer is not easy…
Anyway, I tried the reflexology points that you have suggested with color therapy and…it really works! This is the fist weekend my daughter was pain free! I also use some pressure points on the hands (namely: fingers) and hope this combination will resolve the problem. Again, thank you so much!” – Shira
