Testimonials
What people say about reflexology
I am an 82-year old woman who has suffered from back pain for years and it has kept getting worse. I started reflexology treatments in May 2015. After 15 treatments, I no longer use a walker unless I am going a very long distance. Thank you to Dorothy Sammit, RCRT and to reflexology for making my life more comfortable
Arsenia Marchildon from Ontario
Thank you Quinn Straza, RCRT! Your natural healing gifts in reflexology have helped my pain management for my C7 bulging disc and nerve pain, while I work on my strength. It's so calming, comforting, and feels great! I was surprised that my neuro surgeon recommended reflexology as an add-on to my natural alternative plan to hopefully avoid surgery. Glad to have you as part of my program.
