I have been a Reflexologist, certified with RAC for 4 years. Previously I was employed in the medical field and my desire to take the Reflexology course was, at first, just for fun. But when I worked on my friends and family I noticed a change in them and I liked what I saw. I was drawn to my new way of healing and helping others, so much so that I resigned my stable Monday to Friday, regular paycheck job. My business, Amazing Feets, was started in 2005 and I am very happy with my new career in Reflexology.

I love marketing my business and enjoy helping others with marketing and business advice. Every opportunity is grasped when it comes to educating the public on what Reflexology can do for them. I regularly attend networking events, do public speaking, volunteer my time and I have had appearances in the media on radio, TV, internet, magazines and newspapers. All of this exposure grows my business but it also helps my fellow Reflexologists. The more the public is aware of what Reflexology is, the busier we will all be with our businesses.

It is exciting to see the professionalism that Reflexology has taken and this will certainly reflect on the growth of Reflexology with practitioners and the public. With my position on the RAC board my goal is to build an even stronger association. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to work with and have the support of a great group of directors as well as our executive director, Marcus Summersfield and the strength of the people in the office, known as “Team RAC”.

I look forward to the upcoming year with RAC and I am honoured to have this position on the board of directors. Be ready for your profession to grow both personally and publicly!

I was first introduced to Reflexology in 1992, I had regular treatments and enjoyed the benefits of improved health and wellness, the result from having therapy regularly.

Two years later I did Inga Dougan’s Reflexology course. Unfortunately I did not write the final exam due to other personal goals. Over the next 12 years I gave family and friends treatments and did much self teaching in various holistic modalities through reading books and workshops.

In January 2006 I registered as a student with Maria Krohmer and I received my certification in March 2007. I now run a part time practice out of my home, offering Reflexology and Ear Candling. I also volunteered to represent RAC at the CIBC Run for the Cure in September 2007 which was extremely rewarding, we gave free 20min treatment sessions and had to turn people away at the end of the run. There was a continuous line up of people wanting treatments which speaks for itself - people want it.

My vision is for Western Medicine and Holistic practises to work together for the common good of achieving total health in body, mind and soul and I believe that the public is ready for this. I want to see insurance companies covering Registered Canadian Reflexology Therapist treatments in the near future as this will allow many who want treatment but can’t afford it to enjoy the benefits of reflexology. Of course this is two-fold, the practitioner will be enjoying more business.

I would also like to see the development of a RAC research team with programmes linked to hospitals and clinics, where records are kept to monitor the recovery of patients receiving reflexology treatments compared to those with similar illness/disease and not receiving reflexology treatments. This will enhance public awareness of the benefits of reflexology and in turn grow the modality to new heights.

As I am the new kid on the block, I plan to do my best in serving RAC and its members and I look forward to the challenges and rewards down the road.

A Toronto School of Business graduate in Computer Programming and Systems Analysis, I am currently a Financial Analyst specializing in Contract Adherence and Revenue Retention for a national telecom company.

I completed both the Foot & Hand Reflexology courses with Ettalie Inglis (teacher and former Board member) and I hope to become a RAC-certified instructor in the near future.

I started on the Board of Directors in February 2005 and, with the support of my fellow Directors and guidance from Carol Faguy (former Chair), Phil Lander (former Executive Director) & Marcus Summersfield, I took on the roles of Vice-Chair and now Chair.

It is an honour and a pleasure to be on the Board of Directors, representing the RAC and its' membership.

This Association was originally developed with the intention to be the National voice of Reflexology. With the changes that have been made, RAC is getting the attention required and gaining ground. The increase in membership numbers proves that we are heading in the right direction!

With your continued support, your ideas and your vision, we will continue to work with you and for you!
