Marcella Bos - Certified Reflexologist and Reiki Master

The heart of true Wellness is the balance of a healthy Mind, Body and Soul.

The life I have lived, the experiences that I have had and the choices that I made led me down a path filled with depression, pain, anxiety and constant uncertainty. All of my choices were based on social pressures and expectations of what would constitute a happy and fulfilling life: work at job and develop a career, give all that you have and more to be a ‘good and valuable employee’. So that’s what I did. I went to a job where I poured myself into, coming early, staying late, missing breaks, engaging in team cohesion, and picking up shifts for others – the perfect team player. No matter how hard I tried, how much I gave or how loyal I was, it was never enough. I had spent all of myself at work, my health started to suffer, my sleep was impacted, I was chronically tired, then I started having negative thoughts (What’s wrong with me! Why can’t I just be happy! Why can’t I turn this off! Just be myself again!) And I tried, over and over and over again, but nothing was working, nothing helped. I felt hopeless, lifeless, useless, suicidal. A good friend told me I was like the character John Coffey from the movie The Green Mile – I ingested all of the toxicity and held it like it was mine, and it was eating away at me from the inside out. I knew that if I continued to hold it in, it would completely consume me, and just like John Coffee I had to find a way to let it out or die. I knew I wanted more – I knew my passion was helping people, I knew I was a caregiver, a healer, and I knew I could feel the energy of a room, or person within seconds of arriving and I knew that helping and healing others left me feeling purposeful and fulfilled; connected.

This sense of fulfillment and connection led me to reflexology, a practice that encompasses all the aspects and qualities that felt meaningful for me. I began the course and I found that I had a natural talent for it, not only was I good at it, but that I also loved it. I love the one on one with my clients, I loved that I was providing a service that made a significant difference for people. Through reflexology I became aware of how much energy is shared between the client and the practitioner. This was something I felt I needed to learn more about. This led me to Reiki, and I was so inspired that I took levels 1, 2 and 3, Crystal healing and Animal reiki. I know that my journey is not unique, nor is it remarkable in its singularity, and that many others resonate and connect with my story, seeing their own struggles mirrored.

I have been able to use the resources and teachings to help heal my wounds, I am free from depression, anxiety (most days), and the unfulfilling job. I love my life, and most importantly I even love myself!

My goal is to help each, and every client have a session that leaves them feeling relaxed, calm and better than what they did before we started. I want everyone to know that you are not your pain, your past or your ailments, you can feel good, you have holistic options to aid in your health care regime. You can love yourself and your life!
