What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is the study of reflexes. Reflexology therapies are natural therapeutic methods derived from this study based on the principle that there are reflexes in the body that map to other parts, glands, and organs of the body. Through the application of pressure on these reflexes using specific hand and finger techniques, reflexology therapy can relieve tension, Support the body’s efforts to function optimally and improve circulation.
I would like to share with you the benefits of auto massage. We do this with our hands, arms and neck area. Also with breathing and color focus. This technique works on the lymphatic system, nervous, endocrine and our all around well being.

healing circle for women
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Join us in a healing circle led by Linda Morin, owner of Look Beyond Mastectomy Boutique and Author of the Courage to Look Beyond, as we move outside our normal sense of space and time, into a safe haven. The healing circle opens a portal allowing us to connect to a deeper wisdom within, to the power of community, love, and healing intentions around us.
Then speaking from our truth, both from our brokenness and our wholeness, we discover our present centered healing intentions. Listening to others around the circle with patience and compassion allows the healing to occur.
This workshop is open to all women who fear cancer or who have experienced or is still currently experiencing any form of cancer. We also invite any women struggling with anxiety, fear and any other disease or health concern. Caregivers are also welcomed to join us.
