Healing through touch, compassion, and science-based reflexology

Supporting stress relief, emotional wellness, cancer recovery, and whole-body balance through personalized reflexology care.

Hi, I’m Deepa Dharamrup

A Nationally Board Certified Reflexologist, yoga teacher, and AML/Bone Marrow Transplant survivor who understands firsthand the healing power of compassionate touch.

My Inspiration & Journey

My path to reflexology was born out of love and a desire to connect. My father, a surgeon with the Indian Army, was the original inspiration for my journey. In July 2017, while sitting at his feet in an ICU in India, I used downloaded reflexology charts to try and comfort him. Even though he could no longer speak, his final look of recognition assured me that he felt my touch. This profound moment drove me to dedicate 2018 and 2019 to studying and becoming a certified Reflexologist.

Shortly after, I used my training to support a close friend during her advanced breast cancer battle. Walking that path with her inspired me to pursue advanced, specialized training. I studied Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD) under Sally Kay, a world-renowned expert, focusing heavily on oncology support, lymphedema management, and autoimmune disorders.

Advanced Scientific Credentials

To deepen my practice with data-driven science, I traveled to Barcelona twice between 2022 and 2024 for extensive personal training with Dr. Jesus Manzanares. A leading global authority, Dr. Manzanares has spent over 35 years conducting scientifically measured studies on how reflexology impacts the nerve centers of the feet.

A Personal Triumph & Mission to Give Back

In April 2024, my life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). My battle led me to a bone marrow transplant, made possible by an incredible, life-saving gift from my donor—my daughter. Today, by the grace of God and the dedication of my incredible caregivers, I am profoundly grateful to be in full remission.

During my own hospitalization and recovery, my fellow practitioners gifted me with reflexology sessions. Experiencing this care from the patient bed gave me a profound, firsthand realization of just how vital human touch is for individuals facing cancer and other debilitating diseases.

Fueled by an intense desire to give back to the cancer community, I channeled my recovery into specialized education. I completed the rigorous "Butterfly Therapy Reflexology for Cancer Care" course and am now an approved, specialized practitioner. This unique methodology allows me to bring specialized, ultra-gentle, and deeply restorative care directly to oncology patients.

A Holistic Approach to Healing

True wellness requires a balance of physical, energetic, and mental health. To complement my physiological practice, I expanded into energy work and movement:

• Pranic Healing: Trained under the guidance of Kavita Chhibber, specializing in Crystal Healing and Pranic Energetic Defense.

• Yoga Education: What began as a simple quest to learn breathing exercises for relaxation evolved into a deep passion. I am now a fully certified 500-hour Yoga teacher.

•  

  Today, I combine rigorous science-based reflexology with subtle energy work, therapeutic yoga, and lived patient perspective to offer a truly integrated, compassionate, and holistic healing experience
