Tuesday, September 18, 2012 12:00pm Monday, October 22, 2012 5:00pm Reflexology for the Hands with Carolyn Hales Perkins Hand Reflexology is a simple way to utilize nature’s own healing methods for maintaining the body in good health. By working with the fingers or thumbs on the hands (or feet) we are influencing thousands of nerve endings that refer to all the glands, organs and parts of the body. In this workshop you will receive a handout and you will be shown simple ways to work on your own hands to alleviate pain, stress or any health imbalance. Unlike Foot Reflexology it is much easier and more convenient to work on your own hands which make it ideal to learn in a workshop.
