“To give yourself a break from a headache or even just a bit more zip in your doo-da, find the most tender spot between your thumb and forefinger. Use your other thumb and forefinger to pinch this spot from the top and palm of your hand (see the right picture above), the way you might pinch a penny should there be a world-wide financial crisis. Take a few deep breaths, and release this spot when you have an indication that you have unblocked this energy point: usually your pain subsides.”

What is reflexology?
Reflexology is the healing art of stimulating specific points on the feet, hands, and ears in order to promote relaxation, relieve pain, and treat a wide range of health problems. The practice is based on the concept that different parts of your body have corresponding “reflex points” on the areas mentioned above. Reflexology’s roots are ancient, possibly dating back some 4,500 years in Chinese and Egyptian medicine. But modern, standardized reflexology was developed in the early 1900s by American physician William Fitzgerald, MD. Over several years, Dr. Fitzgerald and Dr. Joe Shelby Riley studied both the theory of zone therapy and modern anatomy, meticulously mapping out the body’s reflex points. Today, reflexologists can go straight to a particular area of the foot, hand, or ear, and begin to relieve pain and promote healing just about anywhere in the body. SOURCE:

Dorit Brauwer about reflexology: “I studied natural and noninvasive healing which originated in ancient China and Egypt. After graduating from the Mahut School of Complementary Medicine and Holism in Israel, I practiced meditation and reflexology in Israel, Germany and the U.S.. Reflexology offers a variety of benefits. It relieves muscle tension and balances emotions without the use of medications.” SOURCE:

It’s surprising how frequently our lives are directed by the people we meet. Often during a crucial time a person we hardly know helps to guide us down the right path- many times without even knowing. Two years ago I met Dorit Brauer as she welcomed folks to walk the labyrinth at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Upper St. Clair. Since I’m always in a hurry, Dorit’s calming influence drew me into her circle. From her meditating realm to her artistic talent to her focus with holistic medicine, she had much to share. Without hesitating, I became an eager listener.
Raised on a dairy farm in Germany, as a young woman Dorit moved to Israel to study fine art. She added Hebrew and yoga to her schedule and soon curiosity led her to learning the power of energy healing. “I studied natural and noninvasive healing which originated in ancient China and Egypt,” said Dorit. “After graduating from the Mahut School of Complementary Medicine and Holism in Israel, I practiced meditation and reflexology in both Israel and Germany before moving to the U.S. in 1998.”
In Pittsburgh, Dorit joined UPMC’s Center for Complementary Medicine and practiced reflexology and meditation with adults suffering from anxiety and pain disorders and those with high blood pressure. She also joined Highmark as an instructor.

Dorit’s confidence in reflexology had me realizing that I needed help to reduce my own stress level.
“Reflexology offers a variety of benefits,” continued Dorit. “It relieves muscle tension and balances emotions without the use of medications.”
With a real desire for complete relaxation, I read countless articles and visited several Web sites, all focusing on holistic medicine, particularly through therapy of the feet. I checked foot charts and read testimonials.
About that time, Dorit told me of her plans to move to California. But before she headed out West, I opt for a foot therapy session. Immediately, the day’s tension seemed to roll from my fingertips.
For the next few months I thought about finding another reflexologist, but wasn’t sure where to go. Shortly after this year began, an e-mail from Dorit announced she was moving back to Pittsburgh, a city she loved.
When asked what her plans were, a quick reply stated Dorit was relocating to Scott Township and would continue her focus on meditation and reflexology. Former clients had already scheduled reflexology appointments with her.
Without hesitation, I asked Dorit to fit me in, too. Delighted with last week’s results, I am now a believer.
