How can they afford this?

Two things: one, until I started taking M classes, I was not a fan of the great and wonderful foot/feet. However, I hardly touch a body without at least saying an extended 'hi' to each foot.#2: looking at foot massage from the perspective of reflexology, I'd be worried about setting some kind of physiological response w/in the body as a result of spending a half hour per foot.Can any reflexologist(s) shed any light on my concern?

I would love to get my feet rubbed for an hour! 30 min on each foot.  My mother and I use to sit on oppsite ends of the couch and rub each others feet while watching a movie.  It was great!  

I used to do this with my ex! It was OUTSTANDING! My current won't massage my feet, neck, back, arms, hands, anything. He thinks he'll do it wrong or something and make me think less of him? I dunno. He's a hair stylist, and I'd cut his hair if he asked, let's just hope he doesn't ask. If he does, I swear he's getting a mow-hawk.

I know this is a late response but I had to write.  I went to the site and it is not a monthly membership like a gym.  It is 6 month or 1 year fee which if you take it down to months it would be either $8.17 or $9.66 a month.  At a gym they usually do a sign up fee that is really high in price and then charge you $24 a month, which is $288 a year.  But if you want to get a trainer you pay a lot of money for the trained professional.  Plus if you want a massage that is extra.  Some even charge you to use a towel.Anyway, That place has a  deal where if you pay $380 you get 11 full body massage and no membership fee.  Or $198 and get 5 massage and free 6 month membership.  Of course they dont' say if it is an hour or 7 minutes worth of massage.  I am sure it is an hour and really hope it isn't  120 like one package I saw.  So based on 1 hour that is $34.54 a massage for 1 year membership and $39.60 a massage for 6 month membership.  So I guess if you are a therapist there you and you are making 35% off each massage you pray to God the member only signed up for the 6 month so that you can make a whole  $1.42 more for working with 6 month'er.  I keep seeing things like this and it blows me away.    That is $12.44 or $13.86 and only one person at a time.  The amazing thing is I am in TX now , and minimum wage for waitstaff is $2.13 an hour because they can make tips (whoooohoo).  In CA where I was born and raised waitstaff in decent  places make $6-$7 an hour plus tips.  So I can see some newbie from TX jumping at it but a Cali? Go be a wait person.  My gosh you make your hourly (which you are an employee) and you can wait on 5, 10, or even 15 tables depending on the service arena.  And even if you only make $3 tip off each table you will make more then those clowns are paying at that spa.

A typical reflexology session is 45 to 60 minutes. It takes that long to actually get into the dozens of reflexes. A 30 minute version (15 min. each foot), has to be either an Asian (read: intense), session or a foot massage. I prefer the 60 minute - giving and receiving.

Hope that helps.
