Recently, our course accrediting partner, The Complimentary Medical Association, shared a very unique article about the role of Reflexology in healthcare today. You can contact me at the end of this blog to receive a copy of the article. When I trained as a reflexologist, it wasn’t a well known therapy and even as an holistic therapy student, I was
Here’s a common scenario I come across. I speak to an experienced therapist. She’s been performing massage for years and has a good list of regular and loyal clients. She also offers facials and a few beauty treatments. The massage is her bread and butter, but it’s hard work. She sells the massage as being good for relaxation, relieving stress

With the launch of our new training dates, I wanted to give focus to one that is very special and dear to my heart. In 1998, (yes that far back!), I started my Body Massage training and one of my colleagues was studying Reflexology. At that time, it wasn’t well known so when she asked to practise on me, I
