Women carrying too much in the body
Back pain, muscle tension, the kind of fatigue that builds on itself, anxieties locked in the shoulders — the body knows how to say what words can't always reach.
The whole body is mapped onto the soles of the feet. Through gentle, attentive touch in each zone, the systems, organs, and emotions begin to wake — and real, settled calm becomes possible.
Reflexologist and complementary medicine practitioner: healing, Hopi candles, aromatherapy massage.
I was born in Rehovot, and over the years I have lived in several places across Israel: Tzfat, Haifa, Jerusalem, Zichron Ya'akov, and Giv'on HaHadasha. In every one of them I gathered experiences, picked up tools for living, and learned to see things from different angles.
Today I live in Giv'on HaHadasha. This is home, this is the base, and from here I go where I am needed, when I am needed.
I am a graduate of the "Academy for Whole Medicine" in Jerusalem, the "Lemoria" College in Sha'arei Tikva, and a member of the Israeli Reflexology Forum. I also hold a B.A. in Psychology and Art from the University of Haifa, an Art Teaching Certificate, and a Mikveh Attendant and Bridal Guide certificate from "Dor VaDor."
I began my path in complementary medicine in 1998, after I came to understand that words are not always enough — that touch can reach in, settle, and quietly affect the places that language can't reach.
During my training, I went through powerful treatment processes myself that deepened my awareness — as a woman and as a person — reconnected me to something essential, and, I hope, made me a better practitioner.
Alongside my work with women, I have been treating clients with reflexology and healing touch consistently for the past 25 years.
I chose to focus on mothers and children — and on teaching them — out of a belief that touch needs to be returned to our world. In a fast-paced life that often runs low on breath and soul, we tend to miss the small moments and the things that matter most. Through touch, everyone benefits — both the mothers and the children. Scientific research confirms what intuition already knows: children whose feet are cared for regularly become calmer, struggle less with attention and focus difficulties, feel more secure, and are more able to give of themselves to others.
From my own experience as a mother who returned to the work of touch, I can say honestly: something softened in me first. I became more patient, more present, more motherly. Giving to my children through touch made me a more loving person.
In recent years I have been working at several branches of a major Israeli health-fund clinic, treating hundreds of women who come seeking healing touch — for treatment, for calm, for renewal.
I believe every mother in Israel can be a wonderful reflexologist for her own children. There is no substitute for a mother's touch and for the kind of bond it creates with women and children. The effect of a kind, attentive mother's touch is profound, and it reaches many layers deep.
Our feet carry the weight of the day. They also carry a complete map of the body — every system, every organ, every emotion. Reflexology is how we read that map.
Reflexology is an ancient holistic practice built on a simple premise — the soles of the feet are a miniature map of the body. Each zone on the foot connects to a specific organ, system, or gland. Through gentle, deliberate pressure, the practitioner awakens those reflex zones, eases the flow of energy, and releases physical and emotional blocks.
The session is done through gentle touch on the foot — no needles, no instruments, no side effects. You lie down and the body grows quiet. Areas of tension begin to release, circulation evens out, and the nervous system drops into deep rest. Many of my clients fall asleep on the table — and that's exactly the sign that the body is getting what it needs.
Release of chronic tension, balance of the nervous system, better quality of sleep.
Headaches, migraines, lower back, neck and shoulders — often noticeably better after a single session.
Support through menopause, irregular cycles, and fertility challenges.
Constipation, stomach pain, digestive sensitivity — and the emotional processing that often comes with them.
Support for the lymphatic system and the body's resilience, especially during seasonal transitions.
Bedwetting, ADHD, anxiety, and trouble sleeping.
If any of this resonates, this is the moment to hear how I can help.

Back pain, muscle tension, the kind of fatigue that builds on itself, anxieties locked in the shoulders — the body knows how to say what words can't always reach.
Gentle support at every stage — from early pregnancy through the days right before birth. Careful work, adapted to each trimester.
Hormonal balance, irregular cycles, fertility challenges, hot flashes and the upheavals of menopause — a place of calm and support, reached through the feet.
Bedwetting, ear issues, breathing, digestion, tensions and anxieties that a small body doesn't always know how to express — touch is able to reach the depth.
Regular reflexology for children helps with calm, good sleep, and the nervous-system regulation that attention and focus difficulties really need.

Shulamit · +972 54-5-604-694A map is hidden in the sole of the foot. Four regions that hold the four elements of body and spirit — earth, water, fire, air. Each region is a doorway into a different story.
Location: The heel. Mirrors the area from the soles of the feet up to the lower belly — the skeletal system.
In the physical layer: basic needs, standing on the ground, stability. In the inner layer: relationship to money, fertility, structure, existential safety.
Location: The arch of the foot. The region from the lower belly to the diaphragm — the digestive, urinary, and lymphatic systems.
The emotional layer: processing feelings, withdrawnness, shyness, digesting experiences and circumstances. The inner flow of life.
Location: The ball of the foot. The region from the diaphragm to the shoulders — the muscular and endocrine systems.
The layer of creation and doing: giving, responsibility, the way we move in society. At the center sits the solar plexus — self-confidence, individuality, "who I am alongside others."
Location: The toes. The region from the line of the shoulders up to the top of the head — the central nervous system.
Thinking, the hypothalamus and pituitary, the senses of sight and hearing. Expression, social reserve, the mental layer.

An introduction to reflexology, the foot map by organ, the four elements and their emotional meaning. Hands-on: a general calming technique (for restlessness and trouble falling asleep).
The earth element and the muscular-skeletal system. The water element and the digestive system. Hands-on work for bedwetting, tensions, and digestive issues.
The fire element and the respiratory system — work on phlegm, cough, and asthma. The air element and the nervous-endocrine system — ear pain, colds, headaches, and hormonal balance.
The lymphatic system and the immune system. Specific approaches for the most common issues in children.
The nervous system — calming techniques. The endocrine system — working through the chakras.
The reproductive system. Work on fertility, pregnancy, and birth. The inner meanings that often sit behind physical issues.
The first conversation is always just so we can understand what you're looking for and how I can help. No obligation.
