Reflexology Certification Programs and Workshops

It’s All in How You Look at It

If you were to ask me what is the most often asked question I get regarding certification in reflexology, it is, “Do I need a massage license to practice reflexology?” My response to that question is never simple and sometimes viewed as an obstacle to working as a reflexologist. It needn’t be. The issue has to do with the legalities surrounding the professional practice of reflexology in the United States. In this context, the word “professional” refers to anyone who accepts compensation … [Read more...]

Do I Have To?

Based on how many people I see wandering around my community ‘sans-mask’, I wonder how many of you have heard that question from clients whom you’ve told to wear a face-covering when coming in for a session.

I want to allow for more than six feet between tables. I’ve been constantly running through the days in my mind and determining what precautions I will need to take to ensure that all of us are safe. One thing I realized … [Read more...]

Back in the Saddle!

I am excited to announce that I will be back in the classroom soon! I can hardly wait! I will be teaching a 2-day workshop in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on September 26 and 27 on How to Relieve Chronic Foot Pain. This is my only workshop between now and the beginning of 2021. Since I plan to retire from teaching at the end of next year, this will likely be the only opportunity to learn this highly useful information in this part of the US. You will learn a hands-on protocol that addresses … [Read more...]
