If you love to work with people, all the Touchpoint programs will be exhilarating for you.

There are many ways to work with people. You are not required to talk and entertain. Some Reflexologists will tell you, " Just close your eyes and feel the tension leave. Listen to the music and let it move you into relaxation."

Because Tthe Touchpoint methods are skills as well as an art, there is a lot of room for new concepts and innovation. We need people who love research to formulate tests to prove its effectiveness. We need writers to bring new information to those who want to practice and teach Reflexology, Kinesiology, and emotional stability.

It sounds as if you might prefer to be the recipient of a session of Reflexology or Muscle Balancing or Emotional Freedom. Not everyone wants to be a practitioner, some people, like yourself, want to receive its benefits.

How right you are - feet are fascinating. Looking at a foot can tell you if a person has back pain, if they smoke, if they are still grieving over a loss, if they have reflux or other stomach problems, if they like to eat good food, if they are stubborn, if they have trust issues and so much more. These are called visual cues and are basic to the Touchpoint method.

Well you are in luck. We can teach you Hand, Face, Ear or Body Reflexology. We also teach Meridian Reflexology which brings all of your present skills into play to assist people toward health. You can also get involved in the Muscle Balancing Kinesiology format.Or you can become an adept EFT'er - a simple tapping technique to relieve fears, habits, pain or to defuse emotional trauma.

The Spa field is growing by leaps and bounds and they are wanting their pedicurists and estheticians to learn these techniques as clients demand them. So hand, face, feet Reflexology are in great demand. Here the object is relaxation rather than healing.

Homecare workers are finding that their senior cliets, or disabled ones love the few moments they give them in a session.

Many nurses are using Reflexology, Kinesiology and EFT in their practice. One of my colleagues works with quadriplegics exclusively and has brought them all manner of comfort.

As for sports - many teams have a practioner on staff both in amateur and professional leagues to help with the constant injuries. You will find practitioners at the Ironman!

That is terrific! We need more Pawspoint practitioners. You can work with dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, AND horses.Pawspoint can help you get a position with a Veterinarian, or Animal Chiropractor or in your own clinic,

This is where Emotional Freedonm Technique comes in. It is a talk therapy where you will be talking and having the person tap on specific points. The purpose of EFT is to relieve pain, defuse emotional trauma from past and present, help people with phobias, habits, and so much more.

There is a wonderful site where you can learn more about it - www.emofree.com. Download a free book and watch a video on how it works.

Congratulations! You know the value of hands-on therapy. As a practitioner you would be a great model for people who need attention. So few people working in the health field understand the importance of self-care.

That is great! everyone needs to receive physical attention and you are taking good care of yourself. It will be easy for you to explain this need to clients.

Good for you! You recognize the need and try to find the time to receive the attention you deserve. Should you become a practitioner, you will need to tell your clients how important self-care is to health.

It is so important to receive care from others. Being self-sufficient and strong is a virtue, and so is asking others to help you improve. Ask someone to do some Reflexology on your hands or feet. Not only will it give them pleasure, it will also give you a lift and a great sense of relaxation.

Good for you! Nothing gives as much pleasure as a job you enjoy, a job that feeds your body, mind and spirit - a job for which you have a passion. I know you will enjoy learning new and wondrous techniques with our Touchpoint programs.They will add to your skills.

Energy work is very fulfilling and I am sure you get a great deal of excellent feedback for your work. Our Meridians in the Feet class is an energy-based class as is the Chakras in the Feet. Our Ear Reflexology is totally energy-based and works with emotions, behaviours, chakras and spiritual concepts. I am know you would enjoy them. Also, the Emotional Freedom Technique is based on energy psychology. It is a magical way to work with people.

Recently, in Edmonton, a young man with Cerebral Palsy, took a class in Foot and Hand Reflexology. He had the partial use of one hand and limited use of the other. He had determination and a wonderful outlook. One month later he called me to say he had his first paying clients. Disabilities are lessons to be learned not barriers to our work. I have taught people with all forms of disability from learning challenges to blindness to deafness to serious fibromyalgia. Each person worked through his/her challenge and achieved the success yearned for. And from them, I learned about courage, pride, strength and generosity of spirit.

Now that you've thought about it, why not receive a session and see if these methods are appropriate for you.

You are right, nutrition is vital and your body and brain depend on it. Poor nutrition causes many symptoms, among them, headaches, muscle aches, energy drops, poor concentration, weight changes, diabetes and high blood pressure. Good nutrition can heal many dis-eases. In each of our programs we spend a little time talking about foods that support you and foods that break you down. We also talk about supplements and their use. 

Many people thrive on a vegan or vegetarian diet. The important thing to learn is which foods nurture you and how to combine them to meet all of your needs, mental and physical. Make sure you have a way of absorbing Vitamin B-12. Some people need to eat animal protein. It depends on your genetic structure.

For most people this is the wisest choice, particularly if you understand your own "bodytalk". For others, learning how to muscle check using the Kinesiology programs helps you to interpret your body's needs simply and clearly.

Learn to muscle check in order to find out how your body will react to different less than perfect foods on any given day. Then eat what works best for you and even if it is a Big Mac, your body will use the useful parts and eliminate the rest. Most important: don't guilt or trash yourself for the occasional junk meal. That will cause more damage than the tasty forbidden fruit!

If your health is good, your thinking is clear, you sleep well, you have no pain and you enjoy life, then you are probably very much in tune with your system. If some of those things don't work, then rethink some of the things you are eating or the times at which you eat them. I would consider learning muscle-checking to find out just what your body needs. These are taught in all the Specialized Kinesiology programs we teach.

That's excellent. Water helps to keep you hydrated and your energy flows best in a hydrated body. (Water is a conductor of electricity.) So, drinking water will perk you up when you are feeling sluggish, will help you to concentrate and to think more clearly. It washes away toxins. It is important in your electrolyte distribution. It replaces the water lost though perspiration and evaporation.

It would be better if you drank a bit more water. You would feel less tired. Your muscles would work better. Your thinking and ability to recall information would improve. Some people say that medicine works because of the amount of water you take with it!

They are discovering that coffee is not that bad for you and actually has merit.

As for tea, even black tea has its good points although green tea is a better choice.

Juice is not always the best choice since it is very high in sugar. Even natural sugar is bad for you if you take too much of it. Often the reason babies have diaper rash is because they are drinking too much juice. Make sure they learn to enjoy water and dilute the juice you gove them to an 80/20 ratio in favour of the water.

As for diet pop - please read up on Aspertame before commiting to even one more bottle of any diet drink.Aspertame has so many bad side effects which can cause illness.It affects the brain. It also weakens muscles. People suffering from chronic muscular pain improved immediately when they stopped dring Diet Coke.

Aspertame should never be heated which explains why you won't find it in frozen diet desserts. Aspartame has been blamed for Gulf War Syndrome. The pop was in the sesert sun for long times, heated by a fiercely hot sun.The heat changed the molecular structure of the diet drink. 

This is a good time to get a Reflexology session. You will feel its qualities immediately. Pain will reduce or disappear immediately. You will regain a feeling of calmness and peace. You will feel more energetic. Your sleep will improve. Dis-eases will disappear. Your hands and feet will warm as your circulation improves. Your mood will elevate. As a client, you will feel its wonderful attributes. As a practitioner, you will feel proud of your client's excellent results.

Sometimes a Reflexology session either just before or directly after a workout will take away the pain. Sometimes the liver cannot process all the lactic acid - the wasteproduct that the body produces when you muscles work hard. It stays in the muscle and produces the burn you feel when you work out. Remember to drink water to help flush away the toxins.

It souds as if you are a hairdresser, a dentist or a computer worker. In all three professions posture is the culprit. Try to find a more efficient way of working to alleviate the pain. Find a Reflexologist to assist in pain relief.

If the problem is arthritis, add 10 cherries and 5 almonds to your diet daily.The cherries can be canned and of the canned ones, the sour cherries are the best . 

Make sure that your computer is at the correct height and distance for you.That your chair supports you. Make sure to change your position every 20 minutes.

Have your teeth checked for alignment. Malocclusion is often responsible for neck, shoulder and back pain.

Make sure you get enough sleep. Lack of sleep may be the cause of the back pain. And, of course, drink more water!

This is where Reflexology can really be useful. Most knee pain stems from an improper way of walking. The knee should be directly over the foot. If it isn't, then over time there will be erosion of the cartilage, the bone or the joint.

Usually knee problems stem from low-back concerns. The Reflexologist can benefit you by starting with the basic cause - an imbalance in the low back- and will first work with the muscles, relaxing them, strengthening the ones that need strengthening and relaxing the opposing ones.

Touchpoint Reflexologists learn that one of the emotional causes of low back problems has to do with your support system. Their may be financial worries. Hurting knees tend to represent an imbalance in the interface of the real world and the spiritual world

As the back heals, the legs will correct, the knees will improve. This will allow you to walk and exercise which will strengthen and rebuild the muscles. Emotional stability is a secondary yet vital outcome.

You are so fortunate! Being so healthy, it might stand you in good stead to receive a Reflexology session form time to time to maintain that terrific feeling and keep you flexible. Or, you might want to share your good fortune by becoming a Reflexologist and helping others to improve and maintain their health.
