Reflexology Basics

These two workshops introduce reflexology in a way that makes it so easy to apply and use at home. They are an excellent introduction if you are thinking about training to become a therapist.

The workshops will be scheduled when there is enough interest registered with us and are easily transportable. If you organise a group of at least 10 students, we can come to you. In-house training for nurses is also available on application.

Workshop I

This weekend covers the basics and focuses on the practical nature of reflexology.

Topics covered include:

History of Reflexology
Reflexology theory
Charting the feet
Treatment procedure
Response to treatment
Benefits of Reflexology
Contraindications to treatment
A general reflexology workout

The skills introduced at these "hands-on" workshops can be used safely and effectively at home to reduce stress, relieve pain and as a first aid tool for many minor ailments. Everyone can use reflexology at home - young mothers, partners, grandmothers all have the opportunity to help those they care for achieve better health and balance.

From a former student, Susan Riggs: "How wonderful and empowering to be able to help others and yourself through this therapy - I feel privileged".
