Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! Students from all over the world have successfully learned Chinese Reflexology through my  online courses. They love the format and delivery because online learning gives you a front row seat to see the techniques up close.

I remember feeling embarrassed in live workshops about asking an instructor to repeat a technique multiple times. With online learning, you can pause and replay lessons as much as you’d like.

More importantly, students successfully apply what they learn to improve their health and that of their loved ones, too.

While you can download supporting PDF documents such as slide decks, the video lessons are not downloadable.

The membership is similar to a Netflix subscription or gym membership. You have  access to the content and ongoing support sessions for as long as you are a member of the Sole Circle.

If you choose to cancel your membership, you will no longer be able to access the content after your membership expires.

The content in the Sole Circle is advanced content that I can’t share in open platforms because people need the full context of my teachings and my support in order to practice safely.

While 99.9% of members are honest and will not post the materials online, I have had people copy my content, take it out of context and put their own branding on it. They do not provide any support because they’re using the content to generate website traffic and ad revenue.

As a result, I have a “no download” policy for lower-priced offerings because I know myself.

If someone got my materials for free somewhere and experienced challenges because they didn’t have the proper context and support, I know I would still try to help them because of my giving nature.

As a result, the “no download” policy is in place to prevent me from overextending myself. I appreciate your understanding for why this policy is in place.

Membership is priced to provide members with top notch courses and ongoing support. To give students continued access after they cancel, I would need to raise the price and/or eliminate personal support to students. Neither of these options is palatable to me because I want students to succeed, and I want to make Chinese Reflexology accessible to as many people as possible.

Yes! Should you choose, you can cancel your membership online at any time.

After you cancel, your membership will be valid until the end of the period that you’ve paid for, either monthly or annual.

For all new members, annual membership does not automatically renew and you’ll get a heads-up email asking if you’d like to renew again for the next year. Simply do nothing and your credit card will not be billed again.

When I told a friend about my plans for the Sole Circle, she asked, “Why is it so cheap? It seems like there’s not a match between what a person pays and what they get because they get so much.”

I told my friend that the reason why I make the price so affordable is because I want to make  Chinese Reflexology accessible for as many people as possible because I know it makes a difference in people’s lives.

I used to work in high tech designing systems and processes so I have the ability to identify where I can increase efficiency and leverage my time while maintaining high standards.

The level of support that is provided in the Sole Circle and the quality of the content is equivalent to what other online teachers charge thousands of dollars for in a year.

I’ve always made the conscious decision to make my offerings affordable. I can do this because of my years working in high tech where I learned how to leverage my time and also leverage technology.

By offering such a low price for the Sole Circle, I hope to introduce more people to Chinese Reflexology and its amazing healing powers.

The Sole Circle is the “perfect” balance between in depth learning, ongoing support and an incredibly low price.

Many people ask me which Chinese Reflexology points to massage for a specific health condition. As you learn more about Chinese Medicine and Chinese Reflexology in the Sole Circle, you will understand why the Eastern approach is so different from the Western one.

Western medicine primarily takes a one-size-fits-all approach to eliminate the symptoms of a disease.

In Chinese Medicine, there’s a saying, “One disease, many treatments. One treatment, many diseases.” What this means is that a Western diagnosis could be due to a number of different imbalances in the body’s organs and energy meridians. Therefore, it is necessary to heal the underlying imbalances that are unique to the individual.

Chinese Reflexology helps to balance and strengthen weaknesses and disharmonies in the body that are at the root of why a person experiences physical symptoms in their body. As the energy meridians come back into balance, this supports the body’s natural healing process.

And this brings us to the second half of the Chinese saying, “One treatment, many diseases.” Chinese Reflexology works to strengthen and balance the energy disharmonies that affect the body’s organs and meridians. Many diseases have their roots in imbalances in the same organs and meridians. However, these imbalances express themselves differently in different people.

Practicing a core reflexology routine with  customization based on a person’s energy imbalances can support the body in healing.

Because specific health conditions also encompass a person’s body constitution, general health, age and emotional elements, it’s impossible for me to guarantee that a condition will shift with regular reflexology practice.

However, I am very confident in saying that energy blocks and imbalances will improve. It is my observation that healing at the energy level always helps the body heal at the physical level.

I like to think of reflexology like eating nutritious food, getting enough exercise and sleeping well. It’s a key contributor to self-healing.

This is a simple question with a complicated answer. I’d first recommend that you read the answer to the question above on, “Will Chinese Reflexology help me with a specific health issue?” This answer explains the unique Eastern approach to healing and why it’s impossible and not even advisable, to make generalizations and give a one-size-fits-all approach.

Two people with the same disease can be practicing the same reflexology points, yet experience different rates of improvement. It depends on a number of different factors that include age, how long the condition has been present, one’s general body constitution, health of one’s parents during conception and while in utero, emotional roots of the imbalance, how regularly they practice, the accuracy of their point location, which reflexology points they are massaging (best to massage the ones that address their body’s needs), lifestyle factors and the nature of the disease.

Yup, it’s that complicated because Chinese Medicine looks at the individual as a whole. How fast change happens depends on the person and what’s going on in their body.

oneMost people notice qi improvements in 3 to 4 weeks after practicing a minimum subset of foundational points. When things start shifting at the energy level, it usually takes 2 to 3 months before people see things shifting at the physical level. These may be small changes or big changes depending on the factors mentioned above that influence the rate of improvement.

For my personal journey (really sick in my early 30s due to severe stress from working in high tech for several years), it took two months to see a stabilization of my health (no longer wondering what weird ailment would strike). At the time, I was getting twice a week reflexology sessions that included all of the 50+ Traditional Chinese Reflexology points, practiced with a reflexology stick. 

After I learned how to practice on myself, it took about one and a half years to fully restore my health. I was practicing all 50+ points with a reflexology stick. This is taught in my six-month in depth Sole Mastery program. I recommend this program for people with chronic health conditions because there are often complex imbalances from a Chinese Medicine and mind body perspective. 

However, you don’t need to learn all of the points or use a reflexology stick (not advisable without instruction) to experience benefits from massaging your reflexology points regularly. These points are the foundational points for health and vitality, and they are taught as part of the Sole Circle.  

Complete beginners are welcome!

I simplify abstract Chinese Medicine concepts so that they’re easy to understand, and I teach step-by-step so no prior experience is necessary.

Students who take my online programs come from a variety of backgrounds, including people new to energy healing and professional practitioners with years of experience. 

Busyness is why I created the Sole Circle. You can watch the content when it’s convenient for you, knowing that there is ongoing monthly support.

After an enrollment period closes, you will be able to join the Sole Circle when the next enrollment period opens. Since this is still a relatively new endeavor, I can’t definitively say when enrollment will open again as it depends on the evolution of the Sole Circle. It could be a few months or it could be a year.

 

I love that you’re interested in learning how to use a reflexology stick. It’s one of the most powerful ways to stimulate the reflexology points on your feet.

I teach how to use a stick in my six-month in depth Sole Mastery program which happens in the fall.

A reflexology stick provides such strong stimulation that students need the one on one support that I can only provide to a smaller group in Sole Mastery.

I usually recommend that students take Sole Fundamentals first before learning how to practice with a reflexology stick. It helps create the foundation for getting the most benefit from the reflexology stick while also minimizing the potential for negative side effects.

Students who complete Sole Fundamentals first get the most benefit from the Sole Mastery program because they’re ready to take things to the next level.

Sole Circle members have the opportunity to enroll in Sole Mastery in advance and save 20% off the regular tuition.

Yes, all live events are recorded. The only exception is the socializing portion from live events.

The Sole Circle is designed so that you choose how much time you’d like to learn. You choose to watch courses on topics you’re interested in. The only recommended requirement is the Sole Fundamentals program as it provides the foundation for everything taught in the Sole Circle.

Each monthly course will be between 1 to 2 hours in length. You can watch the lessons whenever it’s convenient for you. The beauty of the Sole Circle is that if you need extra time to complete a reflexology course, you can simply join an upcoming Q&A to get your questions answered.

Q&A Tea Time happens once a month and will be 90-minutes in length. Point Practice is a monthly 60-minute live session. Attendance is optional and all the recordings are available so you can watch them whenever you’d like. 

And if you’re as fascinated by healing as I am, there are many hours of recordings available to watch!

Throughout your membership in the Sole Circle, you choose when and how often you’d like to participate.

I also recommend that students massage their feet twice a week. Once you’re familiar with the points, it should take about 20 minutes for a session. The great thing with Chinese Reflexology is that you can do it while lying in bed, watching TV, or even during a Zoom meeting for work!

 

Yes! I’ve had students take my online programs from all across North America, Europe, South America, Africa, Asia and Australia/New Zealand. The only continent where I haven’t had a student enroll is Antarctica!

Most of the live events are held on Monday mornings at 11am Pacific Time (1pm Eastern).

All of the live events are recorded so that you don’t need to join live. You can also submit your questions in advance for Q&A Tea Time, and email your foot photo for Point Lab..

For the Accountability Sole Groups, students will be organized based on their time zone and availability to meet. The actual online meetup times will be determined by the group. 

We will also be launching a virtual online Accountability Sole Group so that students can drop in at their convenience and meet others around the world.

At this time, CEUs are not available. I was looking into offering NCBTMB CEUs for Sole Fundamentals before  coronavirus. However, the shutdowns made it not possible for the previous year. My intention is to offer NCBTMB CEUs in the future.

Since each organization and certification board has its own requirements and fees, I will not be looking into getting certified to offer CEUs through other organizations. However, I am open to suggestions if there is sufficient interest from students.

Yes, that’s a lot of “soles”. There isn’t a sole sole. Oops, just made another bad pun.

In a nutshell:

  • Sole Circle is the upcoming reflexology membership site and includes what’s described at the top of this page
  • Sole Fundamentals is the introductory six-week program that covers about 20 essential reflexology points to build a strong foundation for health and vitality. For Summer 2021 enrollment, this program will be included for FREE as part of the Sole Circle, and delivered over the first four months of your membership. You can read more about Sole Fundamentals here
  • Sole Guidance is my book that covers the basics of practicing Chinese Reflexology. It was originally based on the first Sole Fundamentals program. Since then, the Fundamentals program has grown and includes more content and experiential learning than the book.
  • Sole Mastery is the six-month in depth program that covers the remaining 60% of Traditional Chinese Reflexology points not covered in the book or in the Sole Fundamentals program. This program also is where students learn how to practice with a reflexology stick. Sole Mastery teaches the  It’s next level learning that requires much more personal support from me so that students can practice safely with a reflexology stick.

In summary, a simple way to understand these different offerings is to think of an iceberg:

At the tip of the iceberg are free articles on my website. Next are the free courses I offer such as the mini course when people join my mailing list or my annual give-back-to-readers course.

The next level is my book, Sole Guidance. It’s the DIY version of Chinese Reflexology. I wrote the book as a gift to the world for people who were unable to take my online programs. Some reflexology is better than no reflexology.

For students who want to learn more and are committed to improving their health and vitality, Sole Fundamentals is the next level of learning. While much of the content is covered in the book, it’s a completely different experience to learn in my structured programs.

Sole Circle encompasses Sole Fundamentals AND also brings in elements of the mind body connection, customization of one’s routine as the body and qi changes over time, and the enhanced accountability from the Sole Mastery program.

There is a level of accountability and commitment not present from reading a book. It’s like learning karate by reading a book vs. having the instructor there to support you.

Sole Fundamentals is one of the best ways to build a great foundation for getting the most out of Sole Mastery, my in depth program where you learn the complete system of Traditional Chinese Reflexology.

Ideally, everyone would learn what’s covered in Sole Mastery as it’s the whole kit and kaboodle in terms of Chinese Reflexology.

However, I can only teach what the student is willing to learn.

Everything I share (from the free articles to the six-month Sole Mastery program) has value and helps you improve your health and vitality.

But if one chooses to see and experience more of the “iceberg,” more will be revealed to you as your understanding grows deeper and you tune in to the wisdom of your soul to be in command of your health and destiny.
