why take five?

There are 2 distinct ideas behind the name Take Five Reflexology.

The first known use of the phrase take five was in 1916. It says - let’s relax; let’s take some time off from what we are doing. “We've been at it long enough, let's take five.”

Then, in 1959 Dave Brubeck recorded the song Take Five. It is known for its unique 5/4 time signature, the song marked a departure from standard jazz meters. It too asked you to take five. You couldn’t continue to dance without changing your step.

Reflexology is also known for its uniqueness. It is bodywork, but it is not massage. It has a distinctive time signature, just like the song. I invite you to experience the unique rhythm of foot reflexology. Are you ready to take five?

Reflexology is a protocol of manual techniques, such as thumb and finger-walking, hook and backup, and rotating on a point, applied to specific reflex areas predominantly on the feet and hands.

These techniques stimulate the complex neural pathways linking body systems, supporting the body’s efforts to function optimally. The effectiveness of reflexology is recognized worldwide by various national health institutions and the public at large as a distinct complementary practice within the holistic heath field.

Definition of Reflexology

what my clients are saying

  • "WOW! At the end of a foot reflexology session, I feel like I've had a full body massage. My neck, shoulders and back are loose and my feet are relaxed and don't ache."

  • "I had not been able to find a foot reflexologist since moving to MDI a few years ago. I am on my feet a lot and have a bunion which is often painful. A friend discovered and referred me to Michelle. I highly recommend Michelle for her ability to immediately put you at ease and for true skill as a reflexologist. "

  • "I discovered reflexology because I was desperate to resolve tingling and pain issues I was experiencing in my feet. Both my physician and podiatrist recommended that I stick with the reflexology since it turned out that I have inflammation in my feet, which was causing the problems, exacerbated by a bunion”

  • "Michelle was so intuitive in regards to injuries I have, She instilled such safety for me"

  • "I have had chronic plantar fasciitis for the past 16 years so my feet always hurt, even when the plantar is not inflamed. I’m always on my feet and don’t take much time for self care. Nothing feels better than when someone rubs my feet. It’s good for my feet, my body, and soul."

  • "I have always been curious about acupressure and reflexology and how it relates to pressure points all over the body……having an auto-immune disease that deals with inflammation, I’m always looking for alternative methods to help my body function properly. Gut health, sinus congestion and such."

  • "I have struggled with hip osteoarthritis for many years and due to this I have had increased pain with long term standing tasks. After a few sessions of reflexology with Michelle, I noticed an increased tolerance/ability to stand at my place of work, not to mention that my feet felt amazing!"

  • "I originally came to Michelle for relief from my plantar fasciitis. Her touch brought me relief and I found myself able to walk more at the gym and tolerate a greater variety of footwear in my daily life with less pain.....

    continued next box

  • ...... What I didn't expect from reflexology was a decrease in the frequency/intensity of my migraines and a lengthening of my cycle (my luteal phase has always been short). Watching her work is like watching a skilled musician tune their instrument. She "listens" to your foot and adjusts her work as needed to address a wide variety of findings. Each session leaves me deeply relaxed and more ready to face the challenges and stresses of life."
