One of the Woman mags...

Just a very quick post to say that I completely agree with Candie. When I first started to read this thread I was pleased and excited that a leading womens magazine had run an article about reflexology. I was doubly pleased to learn that the article featured reflexology and infertility as this is a special interest of mine. My heart sank when I realized that the reflexologist featured in the article was claiming to be 'The Baby Maker'. I put it down to the media. I was absolutely amazed to discover that no, it wasn't the media; this therapist has a website on which she claims to be 'The Baby Maker' - This is not good, not good at all. I have worked with ladies who are trying to concieve; I know just how vulnerable and desperate they can feel. It's wrong to market yourself in this way - and I agree with Candie - saying that this is 'her destiny' is no justification at all and is proof that both the web-site designer and the therapist in question are both missing the point completey.

Reflexology helps people - it helps to rebalance body systems which may be out of balance - this may help some people to fall pregnant. We as therapists have absolutely no right to claim that we can 'make babies'.

Thank you Sulis for your support.

As the Moderator of this forum it is the first time that I have had to muscle in and say what I really thought. I rarely have to take such action and doubt that I will have to do so much again and I am usually happy to let the other moderators delete any posts that they feel are not suitable. However on this occasion I wasn't able to let it pass.

It doesn't surprise me that we are all coming from the same please (ie THE HEART!).

On a positive note, I am sure that we will all get more work from it. I already had a new client drop in to discuss the matter and no doubt there will be more.
