Letter from our President, Winter 2021

Dear Members,

This year marks an exciting milestone for MCR. Thirty years ago, a handful of reflexologists had a dream and that dream became a reality. In 1991, the Maine Council of Reflexologists was born! To help celebrate MCR’s 30th year, we have spotlighted some of our founding members in this issue. Their stories are all different, but there is one thing that they have in common and that is their love for helping others feel their best, through reflexology. Sadly, we recently learned that Linda Best, another founding member, passed away last June. I hope you will enjoy these stories and please, as you are reading, take a moment and thank Linda for her part.

At our meeting in February, Dr. Casey Lapierre, D.C. taught us how to clear our space and be energetically in tune with our clients. She taught us about muscle testing, the chakras, and the energetic layers of the body. Dr. Casey agreed to make her slides available to those who reach out to her directly. Her email is

chirotransformation@gmail.com.

We are hoping that our October meeting will be in person, but for safety, our May meeting will once again be through Zoom. Please join us on May 15th from 12:00 – 1:45 for the Business meeting, followed by an educational program from 2:00 – 4:00 which will be worth 2 CEUs. Nurse and nutritionist Anne Moreau will talk with us about healthy digestion and that will be followed by a round table discussion about reflexology and the digestive system.

I’m looking forward to “seeing” you soon,

Stay safe and be well,

Alison Gingras

President, MCR

Happy 30th Birthday MCR
