Foot health and well-being is a passion I have nurtured over 40 years of experience. I trained at the Chelsea School of Chiropody in London, England and am a board certified by the National Association of Reflexologists. I have been serving the Mid-coast community for 16 years here in Boothbay Harbor. I also provide monthly services to the island of Vinalhaven.
I enjoy hiking, sailing, kayaking, as well as accordion playing and ballroom dancing. I have walked 400 miles of the El Camino trail in Northern Spain.

Benefits of Reflexology
Reflexology is a science based on the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands that correspond to all the organs, glands and other parts of the body. Reflexology is a unique method of applying pressure with thumb and fingers on these reflex areas with demonstrated health benefits.
How does Reflexology work?
1) by relieving stress and tension through relaxation;
2) by improving blood circulation and promoting the unblocking of nerve impulses;
3) by helping to reconnect and restore balance between mind, body and emotions.
What can it do For You?
Reflexology reduces stress in the body, an important benefit because stress has been found to cause or complicate a large percentage of all health problems.
Since Reflexology treats the whole person, not just the symptoms of disease, most people benefit from treatment. Reflexology is suitable for:
Acute and chronic conditions
Muscular and skeletal pain in jaw, shoulders, neck, back, and hips.
Sleep disorders
Sports injuries
Preventative therapy
An increasing number of people are using this safe, natural therapy as a way of relaxing, balancing and harmonizing the body.
Reflexology is an effective technique to promote health, but it is not intended to replace the care of your physician or podiatrist.
Foot Reflexology, a safe and relaxing way to reduce stress.

Hand and foot reflexology combined has double the benefits of reducing stress, especially if the hands are used in computer or body work.
Pedicures are important to keep callouses down and prevent cracks in heels due to dryness. Nails provide protection but if they get thickened or uncomfortable, professional care can restore them to health.

Wear a cloth face covering when in public
The Governor’s order requires Maine people to wear cloth face coverings in all public places regardless of the ability to maintain physical distance, as recommended by the U.S. CDC. The order identifies public settings as:
- Indoor spaces that are accessible to the public such as grocery stores, retail stores, pharmacies and healthcare facilities
- Outdoor spaces such as playgrounds, busy parking lots, and other areas such as lines for takeout service where the public typically gathers in a smaller area
- Public transportation such as a taxi, Uber, Lyft, ride-sharing or similar service
- Ferry, bus, or train
- Any semi-enclosed transit stop or waiting area
Under the order, cloth face coverings are not required for children under age 2, a child in a child care setting, or for anyone who has trouble breathing or related medical conditions, or who is otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
What to do if you are sick
Call ahead to a health care professional if you develop a fever and symptoms of respiratory illness, such as cough or difficulty breathing. Tell your health care professional about any recent contact with people infected with COVID‑19. Your healthcare professional will work with Maine CDC to determine if you need to be tested for COVID‑19.
