Magic in their hands
It was Naturals Co-founder C.H. Ashok Kumar’s idea to bring the visually impaired into the mainstream through such employment options.
“During my trips to countries like Malasiya and China, I witnessed that the profession of reflexology is dominated by people who cannot see. I decided to promote the idea back in our country. The reflexology therapy that already existed here was not as profitable a service as we expected it to be. By employing and training the visually impaired at Naturals would be a win-win situation for both of us.”
Following this, Naturals reflexology began to collaborate with NIVH for this programme, where the Salon and Spa outlet not only trains the visually impaired in reflexology but also employs them.
Naturals reflexology was launched recently by Daniel Kish of Thandavam fame and the President of World Access for the Blind, who also trained these reflexology therapists in eco-location and mobility.
