I’m so happy I saw Sondra’s post. She did an amazing job with my treatment. I felt like a new person when I left my appointment. She also shared some information with me that will help me in the future. I’ll definitely be back to see her and recommend her services. -A.B.

Sondra was amazing with her hands. She was gentle and careful to not use to much pressure on a old foot injury. Throughout the session, she explained different points of the foot and what area of the body it affected. I really enjoyed my time with Sondra and look forward to making another appointment.

About Me

Thanks so much for visiting the site!

I'm Sondra, and I believe I came into this world to be a "helper." I began working in allopathic medicine at the age of 18 as a medical assistant, then as a respiratory therapist and nurse, but it was in my search for answers to my symptoms which steered me away from mainstream medicine to seek out alternate modalities in complementary medicine, particularly in the modalities of reflexology and reiki.

My path in complementary medicine education began when I saw the wonderful outcomes in which Britain's Sally Kay was having in lymphedema patients utilizing Reflexology Lymph Drainage. This protocol has proven beneficial for some with lymphatic diseases.

That was the spark I needed to embrace therapies beyond allopathic medicine which could benefit those with disorders of the lymphatic system and other chronic diseases. Since that time, I've studied foot, hand, ear and facial reflexology under several National Council for Reflexology Educators, including Ralph Richey, Cheryl Speen, and Chantel Lucier. I've completed continuing education classes in acupressure, digital auriculotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine, Bio-Touch, and reiki for pain management.

I've also studied additional modalities to improve lymphatics, such as manual lymphatic drainage with Klose Training, Ayurvedic head massage, Thai foot massage, and sound and vibration. My concentration has been in learning those modalities which affect and improve the lymphatic system, fight chronic inflammation, and control pain, to bring the body into its natural balance. I'm grateful for the opportunity to support others on their healing journey as they navigate their path to health and wellness.
