The Center, Life in Balance, in Medford, welcomes Marlene Hudson to its community of holistic practitioners. Hudson specializes in reflexology and emotional healing. She incorporates essential oils with an approach called Vita Flex, which means vitality through reflexes. Reflexology brought her the relief from sciatica pain she had been experiencing for years. This inspired her to spread awareness of the science of reflexology through education.

“Reflexology reverses the stress response and is an effective, safe alternative to drugs for stress reduction, pain and anxiety,” explains Hudson. “The feet reflect the body literally, and foot analysis most often is the most intriguing part of the session.”

Besides offering private sessions, Hudson teaches classes in reflexology and aromatherapy for massage therapists seeking continuing education credits and reflexology certification courses.

“We are pleased to have Marlene bring her healing energy and expertise to The Center. And she is excited to share her healing gifts through private sessions and classes,” says Susan Costantino Drummond, co-owner of The Center.

Hudson has an introductory offer through May: Save $10 on a 30-minute session.

Location: 45 S. Main St. For more information or to schedule an appointment with Hudson, call 609-321-4843, email [email protected] or visit LearnReflex.com.
