Years ago a Reflexologist typically launched his or her business following practice work on family and friends. Such practice inevitably lead to stories of success that were repeated to a wider circle of people. A professional career began when the budding Reflexologist found himself or herself approached by an individual who wanted work on his or her feet but who was beyond a circle of familiars. The Reflexologist did not feel that he or she could work for free and a career started.

Today, whether you have taken a class, an extensive training program or you are a self-studier, the fact remains that there is no substitute for the valuing of your services by satisfied paying or non-paying clients. Whether you have achieved a word-of-mouth reputation through working with family or friends or a paying clientele, it is the cornerstone of your practice. In other words, it takes work on feet even after you feel that you have mastered the necessary Reflexology skills to establish your work. The more feet you work with, the more opportunity you have to get results and the more people will talk about you and your work.
