Happy Feet

Home Reflexologist Karina Timmel

She’s perky. With red hair. And freakishly powerful little hands.

No, not Shelly O’Drunkagain, the lass bogarting the green beer on St. Patty’s. It’s Karina Timmel, the writer/editor by day, home reflexologist by night, who’s now making evening and weekend house calls.

Timmel arrives with her setup — reclining chair; sweet soy, rose, and jasmine massage oils; and lavender aromatherapy neck pillow — to get you in the mood for healing. You just sit back, relax, and tell her where it hurts.

Your neck? Your back? Your neck and back? She’ll work your foot-based meridians, toes, and ankles (about 25 minutes for each foot), then knead and pulse those gorgeous lower gams.

The coolest part: Timmel never has to reach above your knees to calm all-over body ailments like lung congestion, headaches, and tuckered muscles. She can fix it all from your lower bits.

Prepare to thank your lucky charms.
