World-known German reflexologist Hanne Marquardt will present Reflexotherapy of the Feet at three locations in the Northwest this coming September. This is an extraordinary opportunity for anyone interested in reflexology! With a solid background in nursing, massage and naturopathy, Hanne came across Eunice Ingham's writings in the late 1950s and became intrigued by reflexology. Ten years later she came to the United States to take one of Eunice's workshops, and to discuss the theories and techniques each had developed. Today Hanne is probably the best-known and most knowledgeable reflexologist in Europe, having founded 15 reflexology schools in 7 different countries and authored several books, the best known of which is Reflexotherapy of the Feet, highly recommended and easily available in bookstores and over the Internet. German speakers may learn more about her on her website at www.fussreflex.de. We feel privileged to be able to offer the opportunity to meet this remarkable person known by many as the "Founder of European Reflexology", and to be taught by someone with over 50 years of experience in the field. Hanne is known for her wise, lively and creative style of teaching which includes ample hands-on experience, bringing her audience round and about the many corners of reflexology. Hanne's profound wisdom radiates throughout her classes and inspires all who meet her. This will probably be Hanne's last trip to the Northwest and maybe even to the US. Space is limited. Do not wait to sign up!
