Very excited that the next ICR conference will be held in my hometown Athens on the 26th and 27th of September 2025. The program is lined up with exciting and informative speakers some of whom will be providing workshops as well.
“What has been done and, and how?” … and, “My favorite area on the foot”
In 1992 fate had it that I work as a driver for a general physician who practiced Reflexology in his private practice. Fortunately, soon after, I became his apprentice. In the year 2000 I started working on my own and was faced with the challenges of creating a Reflexology clientele in a society where CAM and especially Reflexology where just introduced. Very soon I understood that my professional evolution and progress went hand in hand with that of Reflexology.
During my presentation I wish to share with you my experiences on the following activities many of my Greek colleagues and I pursued to make Reflexology mainstream. I was fortunate to coordinate the following examples of Reflexology integration and blessed that many of my colleagues believed and supported them.
- Reflexology for the parents, the caregivers at the Children’s Oncology Unit Marianna Vardinogianni ELPIDA
part of an anti bullying program
- Training prisoners in Reflexology. A pilot program at the Tyrinth Agricultural Prison as part of a Educational and vocational training
- Reflexology at the office as part of Corporate Wellness Programs
Finally, I will take you on a journey in foot anatomy, Greek mythology, and
Reflexology.
There is a bone in the human foot named navicular which means boat, because it resembles a boat. We will begin from this bone a journey to visit a nearby area on the foot that I have noticed many Reflexologists already work on constantly and naturally. It is also my favorite area on the foot, and I think this area is very special and stands out. This area has been called by anatomists “zone of confusion” or “The Bermuda triangle of the foot” and I want to show you why and how not to get lost.
