reflexology


Natalie Hart, Operations Manager at Titanic Spa says: “We find Reflexology particularly popular with those that are standing all day for work, however, those that sit at office chairs will also find the treatment incredibly effective; feet are often neglected and when sitting at a desk our feet are still or even tilted at an angle in high heels.


“Our trained therapists take a holistic approach to the treatment and, for those clients that come back once a month for the treatment, we are able to note changes and in some cases provide advice as to help the condition of their feet or other treatments if necessary to help with any discomfort they may feel, after becoming more aware of their body through this sensory treatment.”


training


When it comes to training for Reflexology, the opportunities are endless, with many practitioners often going on to work for the


NHS, well-being clinics and hospices or offering their skills as a complementary service.


Initial training is generally a Level 3 qualification and can be done either through a college or privately. You will also need an Anatomy and Physiology qualification which can be obtained alongside your studies. However if you already have one, you shouldn’t need to repeat it.


If you’re already qualified and looking to enhance your Reflexology skills, then the opportunities are endless. For example, the Facial Reflexology Sorensensistem™ course lasts for just ten days in total and is carried out over a duration of approximately four months. Pre-requisites for training and insurance cover is Anatomy and Physiology at an ITEC Level 3 or equivalent.


Perhaps you’re looking to utilise your skills and offer them up as a complementary therapy.


“Reflexologists, as well as other complementary therapists, must maintain their knowledge and skills each year by participating in Continual Professional Development activities such as attending courses and reflecting on their therapy practice,” says Jennifer Barnes-Hill, Director at ETHOS with JBH Training.


“One example of this is the new VTCT Level 4 diploma in Reflexology for the Complementary Therapist which includes topics such as maternity, hand and facial Reflexology and endocrine balance techniques. I am excited about delivering this new course here at ETHOS with JBH Training.”


You may wish to combine a Reflexology with a pedicure treatment. “It makes a nice pampering treat for the client and will benefit their overall health and well- being,” says Marie-Louise Coster.
