Unlike most other Awarding organisation & training companies, we don’t squish them all together and expect you to master all the aspects in one go. In order to ensure you enjoy your learning journey, we deliver them in sections with flexible learning plans. Its. alittle more complicated to understand, however, I guarentee that we have your back and will be holding your hand throughout the process.
ABOUT REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is the practice of applying pressure to the feet and hands utilizing specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of oil, cream or lotion.
BASIS OF TREATMENT
The treatment is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands with a premise that such work effects a physical change in the body.
BENEFITS OF TRAINING
Reflexology is a rewarding career, especially for those who would like flexible working hours on a self-employed basis. Most therapists work from home, rent a treatment room or provide mobile services.
