5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST REFLEXOLOGY BOOK ON THE MARKET TODAY, May 10, 2007

This review is from: Reflexology For Every Body (Spiral-bound)

Joan Cosway-Hayes' book and DVD are THE BEST material on reflexology available in the marketplace today. I have read MANY other books, the Kunz's books included, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by this book and DVD! It is all just so logically, simply yet meticulously presented. From the desserts, thumb and finger tehniques to the quality information describing each gland, body system and body part, to the workouts for specific conditions, to the mind/body connection.

I have to say, I learned more from this book and the partner DVD than I did from my entire 124-hour reflexology certification course! I highly recommend going to the website [...] and purchasing the book and DVD set. In the DVD, Joan shows exactly HOW to apply foot reflexology to a REAL person. Whether you are a professional or someone who is interested in using this wholistic health technique at home, this is the best book on reflexology you can buy at any price, in my opinion!

This is a great book that fills in the gap on understanding reflexogy and how it heals the body along with detailed information on how to do reflexology sessions and correct methods. I'm a current student and was left with many questions after my classes and this book clearly filled in the gaps.
