"THE REFLEXOLOGY ATLAS provides a fine oversized, beautifully illustrated atlas of reflexology forms covering every part of the body from toes to head, including shiatsu massage. A symptom section applies reflexology treatments to common disorders, while step-by-step instructions for the massage techniques provides clear discussions of bones, massage zones, and much more."
Diane Donovan, Bookwatch, April 2006
"Although this oversized book is intended for the general public, its large color photos and clear technique descriptions will appeal to any bodyworker interested in reflex points and meridians, and how to manipulate them to help clients."
Massage Magazine, June 2006
"In fact this book is so full of great images that it is tempting to skip the text, and just use each picture as the guide. However, lots of great information is imparted in the text as well, making the reading as interesting as the skimming."
Monica Poling, OnceWritten.com, July 15, 2006
"The Reflexology Atlas may not easily fit in your bookshelf, but you will never notice because it will always be open on your desk."
Spirit of Change, Fall 2006

Virginia Herring, LMT, Massage Today, Nov 2006
“. . . highly informative, clearly written, easy to understand, and well designed. . . .This is an excellent book. If you are interested in Reflexology, this is a book to add to your library.”
Mike Gleason, Witchgrove, March 2007
"Especially impressive and valuable to the reader or practitioner are the illustrations. Drawings of the bones of the feet as well as the reflex points are superimposed over photographs of the feet and/or hands. The photographs in the book are extraordinarily helpful. These are probably the most helpful reflexology maps that I have ever seen or used."
Jessica Teel, reviewer, Nov 2008
