Inspiration
Sometimes when we hear about something new we wonder “Is this for me?” What If I am wasting my time or money trying this new thing, or yet another thing? Many clients come to me purely out of curiosity. Some do and some don’t come back.
Last month at a high school musical event, I was introduced by a client to a friend. “You’re the foot person I have been hearing about!” was their opening comment.
I love to talk about reflexology and the benefits I have received over the years, but I’d like you to hear from some of my clients, what makes them keep coming back.

“I decided to try reflexology purely out of curiosity, as I wasn’t dealing with any specific issues or concerns. From my very first session, I was amazed at how deeply relaxing and rejuvenating the experience was. It’s a completely different kind of relaxation compared to a massage or floatation, yet just as effective, if not more so.
What I loved most was the sense of balance and calm I felt afterward—it’s as if my whole body reset. After several sessions, I’ve noticed that this relaxation carries over into my daily life, making me feel more grounded and centered. Reflexology has quickly become an essential part of my wellness routine, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to explore a unique way to relax and recharge.” EWM - NE Harbor

“To be honest, I didn't know what Reflexology was or what it would do for me when I booked my appointment with Michelle.
She took her time to explain everything to me and I found that very interesting!
Then it was time to lay back, relax and let her magic hands do the rest. Every once in a while I would feel something almost electric in a part of my body far away from my feet and the entire procedure felt so good!
It was the next day though when the real surprise happened: I had torn multiple ligaments in my ankle three years ago and although it had healed okay, there is a constant little annoying discomfort in my ankle at all times. As I work on my feet all day, this never truly goes away, but is manageable.
I woke up, walked my dog, and couldn't shake the feeling that something was different. It wasn't until I was at work that I realized what was different: There was no discomfort or pain in my ankle. None! At all! For the first time in three years, I had no pain at all! This was an amazing feeling and made me a true believer in Michelle's art. The discomfort came back slowly, but I now schedule regular appointments with Michelle and I can highly recommend this. Every time I leave her chair I feel light and happy. She truly listens to what I have to say, zones in on aches and pains in my body, and was even able to relieve my shoulders through my feet. Don't walk, run to schedule an appointment! You'll be sorry if you don't!” ES - Ellsworth

“I am an extremely active senior. I hike at least 3 days per week, stand on my feet for 8 hours three days per week for work and also play pickleball. Mid-summer, I noticed some pain and discomfort on my right large toe which seemed to be developing over a few days. I began icing morning and night which brought some relief but it was still there. I wanted to avoid an orthopedist consult, radiology, and cortisone injection which would have been the standard.
At the first appointment, we discussed the pain in-depth, when and where it occurred. After an hour of applying pressure to specific points on my feet and her explanation with the palpation of the feet, I fell into a very relaxed state as the pain eased. Later that day, Michelle sent me her thoughts about the issue, together with suggestions, including some follow-up sessions. At this point, generally, the pain has resolved with little recurrence."

"Reflexology with Michelle gave me a pathway to healing after a prolonged period of chronic stress. My session was transformative in ways that surprised me. During the session, I was completely and utterly relaxed. I have always relied on traditional massage as a tool for relaxation, but Reflexology with Michelle was more effective.” MG - Seal Cove

“I used to love pedicures but, since having chemotherapy ten years ago, I have some peripheral neuropathy and am no longer able to relax if someone is using anything abrasive or sharp on my feet.
Reflexology however is deeply healing, not only to my feet but to my whole body and mind!
Michelle's skill, gentleness, and compassion are a winning combination~ I leave each session feeling a glow from the inside. I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with Michelle on MDI! “ CC - Bar Harbor
