Linda first discovered the therapeutic benefits of Reflexology when she was a stressed PA/Office Manager working in London. After a course of treatments she was jokingly told that she would need to come on a daily basis unless she altered her life- style, as all the benefits of the treatment were soon lost as she returned to the real world. But seriously, something had to change. Acting upon this good advice, Linda gave up her unfulfilling office job, with the hours of travel, and began a course of training that was to alter her life for the better.
The first step was a foundation course in Counselling at Canterbury's School of Continuing Education. This was really a basic necessity before dealing with the general public and all their problems. Listening skills are so important, as well as "reading" body language.
The next step was a Massage Course (incorporating Anatomy and Physiology) run by Martin Yates at Canterbury's School of Holistic Therapies. Finding that this therapy actually strained her own back, Linda decided it would not be a good idea to aim for aromatherapy as a career as she had planned. However, being totally enchanted by the whole idea alternative therapies, she was determined to find the right one for her, and booked onto a course in Reflexology with Gillian Soutar at the Kent School of Reflexology.
This course was accredited by the Association of Reflexologists (check out their website), and dealt with the physical associations between every part of our body and reflex points on our hands and feet. It is used to help all sorts of physical complaints with great success. Just by helping the client to relax, which is easy when working on their feet or hands, the body then heals itself whilst the client is in that state of muscle relaxation. It is meant to happen naturally but our thought processes get in the way of our happiness!
After practising this therapy for several years, Linda then trained with Salvina Macari in Margate to understand the relationship with those same reflexes and our emotions. This is known as Universal Reflexology.
