Enjoy Reflexology - Volunteers Needed

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am enrolled in a Reflexology program which prepares me to become a Licensed Certified Reflexologist. As part of the program, I am required to complete 100 hours of Reflexology outside the classroom.

If you would like to try and see for yourself how relaxing and beneficial reflexology is now is the perfect time to schedule an appointment. During my training, the 1 hour Reflexology session is FREE.

To enhance the results of your reflexology, we recommend a 15 minute detoxifying foot bath which is an add on for only $15.00
This therapeutic foot soak is called :
DetoXsoak by Cuccio
Detoxsoak helps to detox & de-stress in one unique foot care treatment. A blend of herbal extracts & purifying crystal of 15min Detoxsoak helps to:

- Flush Toxins - Relax & Soothe Muscles
- Increase Circulation - Relieve Stress & Elevate Mood
- Reduce Inflammation

Please consider scheduling your free introductory session today! You may book online at www.halosnails.com or via the direct link on the blog.

Soak away stress and toxins

My reflexology class is teaching me so much about helping our body to heal itself and how as a reflexologist I will be able to promote healing for my clients. A detox foot bath is a painless and effective method for eliminating harmful body toxins. Its origin dates back to the ancient times when Japanese villages soaked their tired and sore feet in hot springs. It is also based on the healing techniques used for oriental reflexology.

There are many benefits from detoxifying your body through foot baths. Aside from improving the health of your internal organs, respiratory system and circulatory system, it will also promote your psychological well-being.

I have chosen what I think is an excellent Detoxsoak to offer clients as a stand alone or add on service.

Detoxsoak helps to detox & de-stress in one unique foot care treatment. A blend of herbal extracts & purifying crystal of 15min Detoxsoak helps to:

- Flush Toxins - Relax & Soothe Muscles
- Increase Circulation - Relieve Stress & Elevate Mood
- Reduce Inflammation

To enhance the benefits of a reflexology session consider a 15 minute Detoxsoak prior to your treatment. The combination of the soak and reflexology are a terrific way to relieve stress and release endorphins " the feel good" hormones.

While I am a Reflexology student it is necessary for me to practice outside the classroom and I need volunteers. If you would like a FREE 1hour Reflexology treatment it is a great time to try it and experience for yourself the many positive effects it can have. The Detoxsoak is available as an add on service for $15.

Take the chill out of winter-CND Shellac Spring Collection

It's been a very cold week and the thought of warm spring days seems so far away until a burst of spring appeared on the CND Shellac facebook page. The new CND spring colors! I cannot wait until they are available the soft pastels are gorgeous. It will be fun to experiment layering with the other CND colors to make custom colors for clients. CND expects to have these available by early March. I have already preordered the entire collection- can't wait!

Foot Reflexology to Promote Balance and Well Being

I am currently studying to become Licensed Certified Reflexologist. New Hampshire is one of three states that requires a license to perform Reflexology, however many untrained people charge for Reflexology treatment and are not properly licensed. The intensive 300 hour program takes about six months and requires passing a national board. There are many benefits to Reflexology and during the next six months it is necessary for students to have at least 100 hours of practice outside of the classroom. Reflexology therapy requires only removal of shoes and socks and for added benefit clients can opt for a 15 minute detox footbath soak prior to the 1 hour treatment.
While the benefits are numerous, here are some of the most frequently reported benefits of treatment. I will be seeking volunteers over the next six months so please consider giving this a try.

Benefits of Foot Reflexology

Blood Circulation
Foot reflexology helps in improving blood circulation in the body. Improved blood circulation to various body parts increases their proficiency and renders them capable of fighting against diseases, thus, strengthening the body's immune system.

Stress
Hectic lifestyle is often associated with high stress levels. Nowadays, people have no time for relaxation as they are always on the 'go' which leads to the precipitation of health problems. Foot reflexology is often used to reduce stress levels and aid in relaxation.

Sore Feet
Nothing can be more pleasing than a foot massage for a person with sore feet. People who have jobs that involve long hours of standing usually suffer from this problem. Sore feet definitely hamper their working capability and productivity. A foot reflexology therapy can surely work wonders for such people.

Acute and Chronic Pain
Reflexology is also helpful in providing relief from acute or chronic pain associated with a body part. It can be useful for people suffering from frequent bouts of headache, arthritis, etc.
Foot Ulcer
Reflexology is used as a supplementary therapy along with standard medical treatment to treat diabetic foot ulcers. The therapy improves blood circulation, which in turn reduces the time required for healing ulcers.

Hypertension
Reflexology is known to help people suffering from high blood pressure. The therapy helps in reducing systolic blood pressure, but does not have any effect on diastolic blood pressure. Along with blood pressure, the massage therapy also improves the well-being and satisfaction in patients.

Menopause
Women suffer from anxiety, depression, night sweats, and hot flashes during menopause. Foot reflexology helps in relieving the said problems associated with women during menopause.

Aging
Men and women undergo many changes with aging. Reflexology can prove beneficial in reducing depression and stress associated with aging.

Apart from the above health benefits, foot reflexology also helps a person enjoy sound sleep and develop peace of mind, which ultimately leads to increased energy in the person. A foot reflexology therapy can be painful for some people due to pressure intolerance. Such people should inform the reflexologist of their low tolerance to pressure so that he can make appropriate pressure adjustments.

CND Shellac Red Baroness-My New Favorite!

One of the best things about my job is finding new colors for clients. Reds seem to be the most popular for both hands and feet so when I saw this CND color I knew I needed to get it and try it on myself. Red Baroness is a true, classic red that is sure to be a hit especially as it gets closer to Valentines Day. Shellac is a strong polish that lasts for 2+ weeks and helps even the weakest nails grow into long, strong, beautiful nails.
