I began my journey with reflexology about six years ago. It began as a hobby of sorts to help my family through the cold seasons, and other health issues. I began to see the benefits of reflexology and decided to pursue it more directly. I received my certification through Jill Fox's Healing Arts, under the tutelage of the Reverend Jill Fox. I have been trained in the Eunice Ingham method, who is viewed as the grandmother of Reflexology. Reflexology itself dates back to ancient Egyptian and Chinese times. Around the 1800's, Eunice Ingham and William H Fitzgerald coined the phrases Reflexology and Zoneology, respectively. Dr. Fitzgerald is credited with theory that the Human body was divided into 10 zones, and referred to them as the "Invisible currents of energy." Eunice is credited with taking it one step further and mapping the entire body in the feet, hands, and ears. This is where modern reflexology gets is western roots. Reflexology can affect positive change in the human body through applied pressure on the reflexes located in the feet, hands, and ears.
