Foot Therapy
“No one regards what is before his feet. We instead gaze at the stars.”
~ Quintus Ennius
Ancient scripture tells us in several places that foot~washing was a symbol of service to another, the act, meant to invoke a state of humility for both individuals. When we did our research we found coincidentally enough that the very root of this practice appears to be found in the hospitality practices of ancient civilizations. The host of the inn or tavern would provide a bowl of clean water for visitors to wash the dust off their sandy feet as most were wearing sandals and had travelled a long way by foot. They would often serve the guest personally by washing their feet for them. Rather entreprenueral we think…bed, breakfast and a foot bath! Nothing feels more wonderful then ending your day with a foot massage and climbing into bed with clean, soft feet!

“ I came in with badly damaged feet from a chemical exposure, barely able to walk. I was recommended the 'Save Your Sole' foot treatment by Cheryl and I am smiling as I walk out away. I've stockpiled the supplies to continue doing treatments at home and looking forward to hiking soon. Thanks to the Grail!" ~ Pat Potter, Gilmour, Ontarion October 2010
Reflexology
Reflexology is thousands of years old and its origins were first observed in hieroglyphs in Egypt. This technique uses pressure-point massage on the feet to restore the healthy flow of vital energy throughout the entire body. Working on these pressure points follows corresponding meridian lines which opens up and bring that energy flow and nutrients to the organs helping to heal prevailing symptoms. This treatment is very relaxing and can be utilized to restore and maintain the body's natural equilibrium, overall health and balance of the body system. 60 min $95
