The theme for the next meeting is Best Foot Forward: Confidence and Competence in Reflexology. This is a reflexology share - we'll be trading mini-reflexology sessions and giving friendly feedback to help you refine your skills. We'll discuss how to develop a personal reflexology style and what clients and practitioners should expect during a session. The meeting will be held Thursday, May 19, from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. at Nourishing Journey, 10440 Shaker Drive, Suite 105, Columbia, MD 21046. There is a $3 fee for all participants to cover the room rental. For more information, visit www.reflexstudygroup.weebly.com

On Sunday, April 17, I did a presentation along with colleagues Brenda Morris and Mark Dennis for the Baltimore and Columbia MD Energy Healers Meetup. Steve Carter, the meetup host, invited us to share information about reflexology and its benefits. Brenda and Mark provided samples and I talked about reflexology and helped participants with some self-care techniques. At least 30 folks showed up and we got some great feedback.

On Saturday, April 2, I volunteered as a reflexologist for REJUVENATE - the annual 2011Women's Health Expo sponsored by the National Ovarian Cancer Coaltion. The coalition's mission is education and awareness about ovarian cancer as well as improving the survival rate and quality of life for women with ovarian cancer.

In addition to reflexology, there were reiki and massage practitioners also in our relaxation room. In addition, participants could take fitness classes, go to mini-workshops and  I met some wonderful folks and we all had a great time!

I'm now working with Bodywork Massage Studios as their featured reflexologist, providing services to in-studio (Towson) and mobile clients. Check out the website for more info and rates: http://www.bodyworkmobilemassage.com/
