Lee Anthony Taylor‘sWorkshop

Thursday, April 9, 2009

Date: April 4 and 5, 2009

Location: American Academy of School of Reflexology in Los Angeles

Starting point: NYC

I was in LA 2 weeks for Bill Flocco’s class. That’s when I found out Lee Anthony’s upcoming workshop on effective reflexology. I thought to myself: “WHY NOW? IF only I’d known about this before, ......”!

So once again, at last minute, after re-organizing my life, watching fares to climb down and assessing my situation, I was conflicted as to how I will be sacrificing myself and spreading myself too thin by commuting back and forth to LA from NYC. Yet, I didn’t want to miss out for another year or two till Lee Anthony is back again to the US from New Zealand - whether to the American Academy of School of Reflexology in Los Angeles or one of his venues. I had never heard of him before, but his techniques sounded wonderful and our philosophies were similar so there was a famiilar chi in the air... and I wanted to be a apart of his class. Finally, I got it - a cheaper fares to LA and hotels, even though distance was rather long but I thought, this is for the betterment of my reflexology continuing education life, and as a self employed health practitioner, if we can do it, go for it if we can’t then till next time.

Well on Friday April 3rd - I did it again: I took a flight to LA but I didn’t expect to be delayed for hours at the airport, and having my flights switched to the point that it would take me 14 hours or so to get to my hotel in downtown LA - Once in LA, exhausted, suffering for lack of sleep, jet lag, uncomfortable with my ordeal, I had something to look forward to.

The following day on Saturday Apr 4, at Marina Del Rey - for Lee Anthony’s “Effective Reflexology” workshop and that was just a dose I needed. From the moment I walked in and surprised Bill Flocco at his school (who did a double take - since he was not sure I'd be able to make it again so soon) and to some classmates who I met 2 weeks ago there. I met Mr. Lee Anthony Taylor and was ready for an enlightening experience. Not to mention, watching Bill Flocco’s face and jaw drop again from me showing up in LA - 2 weeks after I had been there - was priceless.

Lee’s class was educational with subtle techniques of effective reflexology that were easy to do as integrative routine combined with reflexology techniques or a standalone and his breadth of knowledge was fantastic, and the fact that Lee shared his workshop in a language that I appreciated and preach about was my most favorite part of the class - in that of “PEMS” as I refer to it: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Afterwards, I asked him if he’d be doing a workshop in NYC whether on "Coronal reflexology" or other and he commented that he was there 5 years ago, and he’d love to do one again but as to what workshop is yet to be determined added that he’d be in Denver next year, so I’ll be sure to plan on that one ahead of time. Thanked him and Bill for another wonderful learning experience. I knew there was something to look forward to despite my fatigue.

Later, when I got to NYC, I looked at his effective reflexology book which I purchased in class and realized that we were in the same circles, both of us knew and learned from: Chris Stormer and Moss Arnold. And I know Chris myself. So it was no wonder that I was familiar with Lee's language he was teaching in class.

Kudos Lee for a wonderful workshop!!!
