Canadian Reflexology School

When you learn Ear Reflexology all of a sudden you start noticing ears all over the place, the holidays are no exception!

I know for many this holiday season is very different than 2019... here's a little advice from the Norwegian nissen: "Everything doesn't have to be perfect... except for my porridge..." Remember when nissen is happy everyone is happy.... God Jul!

4 more sleeps, but who is counting I would love to know what's your favorite holiday movie? My Dad got us hooked on A Miracle on 34th St, a classic! A couple of years ago we discovered Christmas Story a Finnish made movie - it's magical, I highly recommend adding it to your library. See a clip here

Wellness Wednesday! With the cold, wind and rain that makes up our winter months here on the West Coast of Canada, I turn to warming foods - I just can't do salad when it's cold! Here are some great recipes that are on my list to try. How about you - what recipe will you try?

In a recent Study Hall with our CRS Foot Reflexology Diploma students the group collectively brainstormed various resources, in addition to reflexology, that we could use ourselves and suggest to family and clients to reduce stress, especially now. The group came up with some amazing ideas! Which one will you implement? Drop it in the comments below.

Wellness Wednesday. FB Stress, anxiety and overwhelm are at an all time high. As practitioners we are seeing higher than normal stress levels in our clients (and maybe ourselves too) here is a great article you can share to support those that are feeling overwhelmed.

Hand Reflexology Reflexes Here are some great hand reflexes to work on to help reduce stress levels and strengthening our immune system, both areas are important to pay attention to during these uncertain times. The lymph node reflexes are found in the webs of your fingers and can be gently squeezed to work. Your solar plexus reflex is found in the centre of your palm, great for balancing the nervous system and STRESS.... Let me know if the comments if these are sensitive for you!

On our recent "off the grid" family camping trip this was my view in the morning... the afternoon... and the evening. Just looking up at them makes me automatically started taking nice deep breaths... I love how calming nature is. . Give me a YES if you agree! #forestbathing

I have lots of work related books but I am looking for a sit by the fire page turner kind of book... hit me up in the comments with your recommendations!

This Fall I have been mixing it up with my smoothies and adding either Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cloves or All Spice to get the "warming" benefits of these spices. Which smoothie do you plan on trying out?

Celebrating World Reflexology Week September 21-27! DAY 7 We can’t think of a better way to celebrate W.R.W than to CONGRATULATE our newest Foot Reflexology graduate, SUSAN from BRITISH COLUMBIA, another bright CRS shining light who leaned in hard to the learning and is now ready to share the benefits of Reflexology with her community!

This guy and I we have seen a lot of beaches around the world in our time together, this one in the Cook Islands is pretty special to us. Happy 29th anniversary Rob Rippin

Celebrating World Reflexology Week September 21-27! DAY 6 It's the weekend... time to kick up your heels ... I met @leeanthony.taylor at the 2019 ICR Conference, he was also speaking at the conference, we had an instant bond... like I had known him for years, and he teases me like a brother.

Celebrating World Reflexology Week September 21-27! DAY 5 Twenty-one years ago, at the 1999 I.C.R. Conference, some amazing things happened: . World Reflexology Week was initiated with a full marketing package. The conference was held in Hawaii and the governor of Hawaii proclaimed the last week of September World Reflexology Week. ... Ear Reflexology was introduced as a new modality. I had been studying it for a few years prior so this was exciting! The conference theme was East meet West. It was the first time westerners had an opportunity to see and understand eastern methods of reflexology which included a large delegation from Taiwan there to share the Father Joseph method of Reflexology. I had heard about reflexology in Taiwan and was eager to learn more. They were offering sessions to demonstrate their method and I signed up; to my delight Father Joseph was the one who worked on me! This photo is of Fr. Joseph and I at the 2019 ICR Conference 20 years after our first meeting. He came to see me after my lecture and we talked, shared and laughed together, he is such a sweet man.

On our off the grid summer camping trip we came across this culturally significant area - we were literally in the middle of nowhere! These are Indigenous culturally modified trees (CMTs), they are living trees that have been visibly altered or modified by Indigenous Peoples for usage in their cultural traditions. The cedar tree is traditionally known as the Tree of Life in Coast Salish culture, and is used in a multitude of ways. Once the bark is stripped, it can be used to carve masks, make clothing, weave baskets and hats, and even be used to make fishing line!

Celebrating World Reflexology Week September 21-27! DAY 4 This photograph shows Eunice Ingham promoting Reflexology at one of her legendary book seminars. I'd love for you to SHARE in the comments - what stories the feet have told you! Let's see how many we can collect!

Celebrating World Reflexology Week September 21-27! DAY 3 The historical research study that started it all...the PMS Reflexology Research Studythanks Terry Oleson, Ph.D and Bill Flocco. The American Academy of Reflexology conducted the first reflexology research study to ever be published in scientific medical literature, when the study appeared in the prestigious journal, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vol. 82, #6, December 1993. This ground-breaking study was reported around... the world, including in Journal Watch, which is published by the same people who publish the New England Journal of Medicine. Publishing of the study, and the wide spread reporting that followed in magazines, newspapers, numerous professional journals, as well as on radio, television, for the first time, gave Reflexologists around the world the ability to say, "Yes" when asked if there was any published scientific Reflexology Research validating that Reflexology works. http://www.reflexologyresearch.net/PMSResearchAbstract.shtml

Wellness Wednesday - The Benefits of Breathwork! As reflexologists we may often be using breathwork with our clients at the beginning, during or end of a session, this is a great article and one you may want to also share with your clients. Enjoy!

Celebrating World Reflexology Week September 21-27! DAY 2 I have attended many ICR conferences over the years and I always feel like I have come home, catching up with old friends and making new ones. No matter where in the world the attendees come from we are united by our common love of reflexology. This is 2019, hanging with a few of my pals Sharon Stathis (AUS) and Lee Anthony Taylor (UK) and Red a wine glass that photo bombed us... . @lee anthony taylor... @sharonstathis @ayurvedicreflexology See more

Celebrating World Reflexology Week September 21-27! DAY 2 The oldest documentation of Reflexology was found in a physician’s tomb in Egypt dating 2330 B.C. If you are a reflexologist, share in the comments below how many years you have been practicing!

Celebrating World Reflexology Week September 21-27! DAY 1 Today we kick off celebrating World Reflexology Week ... exactly a year ago I had the honour of speaking at the International Council of Reflexologists conference on the Business of Reflexology. It was the first time ICR had someone speak about the business aspect of reflexology which made it a double honour! I feel it’s critical for the growth and recognition of the industry that practitioners become proficient i...n the foundational skills of running a business, something that's not often provided in their basic training. In my Rippin Reflexology Essentials Practitioner’s newsletter I provide universal business strategies and tools to practitioners that are applicable, even now.
