Message from Rositha, our new reflexologist

Happy New Year everyone!  This is the year for "changes".  One of the changes here at Stafford Street Hot Yoga is that I have joined the centre and am offering Reflexology, Thai Foot Massage and Flower Essence Consultations available on Mondays.  My name is Rositha and I am a Certified Reflexologist and a member of the Reflexology Association of Canada. I have been doing Reflexology for over 7 years and have also taken courses in Hand, Ear and Meridian Reflexology.  Reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural function of the related areas of the body through the application of pressure on reflexes in the foot.  I always think of Reflexology as an internal massage working on your organs, glands and various body parts.

The feet don't lie and if there is an imbalance in the body, it will show up in your feet. I also do Thai Foot Massage, which is similar to Reflexology but is more of a massage for the entire leg from the knee to the toes. It restores balance to the body/mind through the reflexes of the feet that are linked to the energy meridians.  It is a treatment for the lower legs and feet using massage, thumb-walking and a wooden stick to stimulate reflex points. It's very relaxing and good for circulation and moves stagnant energy from the body.  It is usually an hour and a half session.

My passion for the past 20 years is working with the flower and tree essences.  This is not essential oils, but vibrational energy medicine. There are no scents or smells, just the energetic life force of the flowers, trees, and herbs in the essences. We all have emotional "stuff" that we need to let go of and the essences are used to release the emotional and mental disharmony within us.  They are safe, non-addictive and will not interfere with medications.  They help support us emotionally in a safe, natural, holistic way.  Depending on your specific issues, a remedy bottle can be made up just for you and whatever it is you are going through and it's taken in water or on your tongue on a daily basis.  The essences have been around for over 80 years and are a great way to help us move through and support our emotions.  Particularly now, in 2012, we need to keep our own vibration high.

If you'd like to book an appointment with me on Mondays at Stafford Street Hot Yoga, please call me at 792-8723.

A Reflexology session is $45, Thai Foot Massage is $55 and a Flower Essence Consultation including the remedy bottle is $45.  All taxes are included.

For the month of January I am offering a discount of 10% on Reflexology and Thai Foot Massage. In addition, I have a yoga blend essence that is normally $20 a bottle and I will discount that 15%.
