Becky Cobb has been interested in spirituality and the metaphysical field since high school. In high school physics class she built a replica of an Egyptian pyramid and put a razor blade inside to see if it would regenerate and become sharper. It did. She wrote her senior year term paper on Taoism. She went to college with the idea of studying parapsychology and eventually studying in Russia. However in rural America in the 70’s that dream did not get a lot of support. She did major in psychology but also had a strong interest in nutrition fueled by living with a vegetarian her senior year. While living in Macomb Illinois and raising her two children she worked on Master’s Degrees in Counseling and for 8 years counseled families who were experiencing abuse and neglect in their lives. This led her back to school and a Masters Degree in Health Sciences as way to do prevention work leading to a job as a drug and alcohol prevention specialist for another 8 years. During this time she studied nutrition and Native American Traditions, followed by an interest in herbs and then essential oils.

Finally her daughter graduated from high school in 1996 and she could leave rural Illinois for the big town of Peoria.The fall of that year, she met a group of people who were doing reiki and her life was transformed. Becky started to learn about crystals, numerology and feng shui. When a teacher was not present, as was often the case in Central Illinois, she bought every book she could find and thus accumulated a library of 100 books on feng shui not to mention every other subject related to health, healing and spirituality. Feng Shui really caught her attention and she started Balance and Harmony offering Feng Shui consultations and classes. And while Feng Shui is amazing, her real passion is working directly with people.

So the question was how to get people to her door who were interested in improving their health and being pro-active about self care. Reflexology fit the bill and finally there was an actual teacher available. Becky became a certified reflexologist through the American Reflexology Certification Board in 2006 and soon realized she had found her passion in life. After 30 years in the child welfare field she found a way to have a positive effect on every person who gets a session.

But as a life long student Becky has found ways to enhance the reflexology. She incorporates crystals, essential oils and tuning forks into the session. And in 2010 she began studying Matrix Energetics with Richard Bartlett and she became a certified toe reader.
