FOR MYSELF!!

Ahhhhhh.. I loved it. This is the first reflexologist who provided a session to my liking.. Ofcourse I am the biggest critic too.

I get another session tonight too from a student. We are exchanging so I can critique her and get her motivated to finish her practicals.

Congrats on finding someone you like.

What do you look for in a session that makes it difficult for others to provide a session to your liking?

I've found I get frustrated with extremes in pressure: too light, too deep. I also get bored of the American standard and Universal methods. Throw in some Advanced Reflexology Techniques (ART) or mix it up a bit. Not the same 'ol, same 'ol every time. LOL. Guess I'm picky too. :wink:

around here, very few people practice reflexology..
that being said, it's a friend that i trade with. having *VERY* sensitive feet, it's easy for me to be uncomfortable when she gets caught up in what she's talking about and suddenly uses more pressure.

i'm so happy you found a CRT that you like! make notes about what she did that made you happy. getting a good session is like getting a zillion pounds of gold!

I like to feel my reflexology session. I find the sessions I have had to date weren't satisfying because the therapist didn't use enough pressure.

In March I had a D & C after a miscarriage so I treated myself to a reflexology session. I couldn't believe that after having miscarriage and surgery I didn't have a single tender reflex.
I realize that I should have asked for more pressure but honestly, it's been so far off that I haven't even bothered.

I believe in deep pressure within a persons comfort level. I generally use a lot of pressure unless I'm working on a diabetic or someone with fibromyalgiz etc. or if someone is uncomfortable. When I find a tender reflex I will ask my client if it's too much. They always say no, it hurts but keep working it.
