Annette DiLascio received her Certification in Reflexology in 1993 by the National Academy of Reflexology. She is a Registered Practicing Member in good standing of the National Association of Massage Therapists.

She is widely acknowledged as an outstanding and results oriented Reflexologist. Reflexology is an ancient healing technique based on the concept that energy zones running throughout the body can be affected by massaging and manipulating the many pressure points on the feet. Reflexology reduces stress, improves circulation, revitalizes the whole body and induces deep states of relaxation. Annette is totally devoted to her work and her unique approach creates a harmonious connection for the mind and body.
