While working as a "Reflexologist" for the past 5 years, I've "massaged" the feet of over 260 different women, some as many as 10 times. Some I worked with once and never heard from again. I've had days (or nights) when I've worked wit 10 to 15 women in a 5 to 7 hour time period. (non stop, my choice) My prefered mode is to have my client laying face down on the table while I'm sitting on a chair at their feet doing my thing. Some clients even fall asleep, it's very relaxing. Often I get paid, but, as you might imagine, I do my share of volununteer work. I don't always "get" the most quality feet, but when it's good-it's very good !
I noticed you "reflexology" in quotes. Is this a true job? Have you received any training in it? Or are you an amateur/professional doing it largely for enjoyment? What percentage of your "clients" pay you?

I always believed in the old saying that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
I can only imagine some of the feet you do looking perfectly pedicured since it's kind of like brushing your teeth before going to the dentist.

This is an interesting thread b/c there was that recent thread about jobs with feet and as I recall nobody had a "foot-related job" that had posted.

Re: feetluvr: The reason I use "quotes" is as you may know Reflexology is not necessarily foot massage. Yes I did receive some training and a lot of self learning. I never attained a certification. (in my state Reflexology is not regulated like body work is) I've always worked as a student. I don't need the income, but I have made @ $2000.ºº in gratuities. As you might guess, money is not the reason, but access to female feet.

Re: hiarch: If you'll notice, I've already given a few tips on how to get started. You'd be suprised how many women are willing to help a student get their hours. One interesting aspect of my shoe selling days was when a woman would come in and complain that her hi-heels were hurting the balls of her feet or there was a gap between her heel and the back of the shoe. [We] would take the shoes (fresh from her feet) and go in the back and put a pad in the insole. Let's just say I always enjoyed doing that.
