The Lampshade Lady Blog: Carson Lake Reflexolgy

I am happy to do some shameless family promotion today. It's Christmas Eve Day and Carson is gearing up to start his new career in Reflexology. At midlife he is excited to venture into a new life's direction. In the 25 years that Carson and I have been married he has always had a strong interest in Reflexology. When we were first together Carson would haul out these laminated reflexology cards from his wallet to see where the pressure points were for whatever ailment I might have had.

Just before the birth of my son Duncan, I said to Carson, let's check out that old reflexology book you have to see if there are any tips for childbirth. Sure enough, Childbirth: use 2 half moon combs in your hands and squeeze as the contractions come and ease off with the pressure as the contracts subside. I had a 5 hour labor! The book did say, DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO GIVE BIRTH, and went on to tell a story how this farm lady did it while her husband was out working on the field. She went into labor at home and had to go round him up to help delivery their baby.
Reflexology is an ancient art of healing going back 2345 BC. It is based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas in our feet and hands that correspond to our body. It is a natural, drug free treatment options for a variety of health problems. It is used to reduce pain, ease pain over used hands and feet, helps promote balance and normalization of the body, reduces stress and brings on relaxation. It improves circulation and delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells.

Carson will be starting his practice at The Circle of Healing in Pawlet, Vermont on January 1, 2010. He is having an introductory offering of 3 sessions for $90. Give yourself a treat for the new year! This will be available through February 2010. Give him a call at 802.325.3641 or email him at woodfire@vermontel.net
