The Power Of Touch

 A scientific study by the American Medical Association reported that stress was a factor in 75 percent of all diseases.   A study conducted by researchers at Duke University Medical Center linked the effects of stress to the weakening of the heart muscle. 

 The central nervous system can be affected by the stresses of daily life.  Our skin provides access to the central nervous system, when it responds to sensory stimulation.

 Therapeutic touch not only promotes relaxation, but also affects emotional, physical, and mental well-being.  This is because touch creates positive chemical and electrical reactions within the body, which encourage the release of endorphins while activating the body's self healing abilities.



The specific rhythmic techniques utilized in reflexology not only improve skin health, improve circulation, stimulate blocked nerve impulses, and relax tense muscles, but also encourage the body to heal itself, and most importantly reduce stress. 

Carolee believes that healing is an art , and that communication between the therapist and client is a key component to a relaxing, dynamic, therapeutic session.
