Linda, Upper St. Clair, PA

When I was 45 years old I was fortunate to be accepted to Law School and begin a path that I had dreamed of since I was a young woman. I enrolled in the part-time program while I continued to work full time as a travel agent. I also have three children and a husband —so to say life was hectic is an understatement. During my first year of school my oldest daughter went to Dorit for reflexology and called me immediately to say it was a wonderful experience and something I should do. I made an appointment for the next week.

For the next three and a half years I had reflexology at least monthly as I kept up with a grueling schedule and new demands on my already stressed immune system. I did well in school and was not sick at all during that time. I know that the work Dorit did to keep my body opened and balanced is the main reason I had the stamina that I needed every single day. I am beginning my tenth year of reflexology with Dorit and although I always knew how beneficial it was, it was never more clear than when I went several months without a session. When I finally saw Dorit again my body responded in an unbelieveable manner. It's like the axiom that you "don't know what you've got til it's gone." I will always keep reflexology wiith Dorit as a very important tool for health and well-being, along with her meditation and family constellation therapy classes. I have been blessed with wonderful guidance in my life and meeting Dorit is a true example of that.

My experience with Dorit Brauer’s reflexology was life altering. I was going through a difficult time both physically and emotionally. I was 49. It was the beginning of menopause and all my traditional doctors wanted to put me on estrogen and antidepressants to blanket my concerns. But, I didn’t feel comfortable with that diagnosis. Something wasn’t right. I didn’t want to treat the symptom; I wanted to treat the cause. I wanted to examine why I was feeling the way I was and become healthier rather than dependant on medicines. A friend put me in touch with Dorit Brauer, a phenomenal reflexologist from Germany, who was working in the area. I was skeptical at first because after all, what can someone tell you about yourself just by manipulating your feet? I found out over the next year how wrong I was.

Reflexology is an ancient practice of Chinese origin involving the manipulation of pressure points on the feet. It seems simple, but in the hands of an expert like Dorit Brauer, it is simply amazing. Through a variety of foot manipulations, Dorit is able to move Chi, or energy throughout one’s body to enable a balancing of the body functions. In addition, reflexology also engages the mind through meditation. Dorit will move her clients though a guided meditation specifically selected to coincide with the physical issues she is treating. I believe Dorit is an intuitive, someone who has an extra gift beyond the skill of analyzing data, Countless times during my treatment she was right on in her diagnosis with what was happening with my mind-body connection. She is amazing; she just has the gift of knowing what to do and goes about it expertly.

I have never experienced such a liberating approach to healing my issues. Dorit opened up a world to me I would never have believed existed. That was six years ago. I emerged from her treatment a healthier, more complete and joyful woman that I ever expected. I understand the dynamics of the mind body connection and use the meditation techniques I learned from Dorit everyday. With so much going on in our lives, one can’t always be in balance. So periodically, I return to Dorit to help me rebalance my energy fields. I always feel better after having a reflexology session and the effects are lasting. To this day, I attribute my good health to my experiences with Dorit. They provided me with so much self-knowledge that has reaped benefits long after the sessions are over.

The first time I went for reflexology with Dorit Brauer, nearly 10 years ago, it was purely for fun — thinking that an hour's foot rub would be pretty nice. I was amazed to find that the experience touched me on many levels. After my first few reflexology treatments, I went straight to a closet where I had been storing some clothing and things that had belonged to my mother who died nearly 15 years earlier. I immediately proceeded to pack them all and gave them away. I didn't realize that I had been holding on to unprocessed feelings for so long. That was the first time that reflexology helped to remove an emotional block that I wasn't even aware that I was carrying.

Now, reflexology for me is about grounding and restoring balance. I find that if I follow Dorit's instruction, "to let the process work on you", I continue to remove blocks to my thinking and move confidently in directions that I hadn't contemplated before.
