The questions to ask at the second session or the next day on the phone are “Did you feel better after the last session?” and “How long did that feeling last?” The goal becomes applying a sufficient amount of Reflexology work to achieve the level of adaptation necessary to effect a change in the body’s operating process.
Keep in mind an active picture of the client’s feet. This will enable you to note changes within the session and from session to session. Value is, thus, added to your service when the client sees that change has taken place. It also makes you a more credible practitioner by showing that you can objectively gauge the changes taking place within his or her stress pattern.
Pricing can be an issue. “No wonder this Reflexologist has so many clients. She only charges $15 a session. I could increase my client level if I was willing to charge less,” as one Reflexologist reported. Consider whether or not your fees match the locally accepted levels and your skill / experience / reputation level. And don’t forget many people pretend to be Reflexologists or other therapists with little or sometimes no training and then charging a low fee. Remember the old adage “You get what you pay for.”
