Academy of Ancient Reflexology

Reflexology Certification Programs and Workshops

Only Three Days Left

There are only three days left to receive a $100 discount off this year’s Therapeutic Hand & Foot Reflexology Professional Certification training.

If you register and pay your entire tuition by January 10th, you can automatically subtract $100 from your investment. Your personalized tuition is determined by applying any of the three discounts for which you qualify to the base price. Although credit hours have increased from 250 to 315, the cost remains the same as it has for the last five programs.

Classes begin February 10th in St. Augustine, Florida, with specific days of classroom study every second month until the beginning of October. With six different payment options, the Therapeutic Hand & Foot Reflexology Professional Certification is accessible for everyone. Visit here for details and/or registration.

An Invitation

This is an invitation to those of you who want to be able to help the desperate folks who call for relief from foot pain associated with plantar fasciitis.

According to recent studies, plantar fasciitis affects at least 10% of the population and is the most common cause of foot pain for which professional care is sought. An intense burning pain experienced with the first morning steps (or middle-of-the-night trips to the bathroom) is what ultimately motivates an individual to seek help.

You can learn how I eliminated this painful condition from my own life (and that of many clients) without all the research, trial and error and expensive training that I invested. The protocol I created can significantly reduce the recovery time for people suffering from this stubborn condition. After developing this session, word-of-mouth successes magnetized people to my door begging for relief from plantar fasciitis!

The session takes two broad approaches: foot reflexology and relieving nerve impingement along the S1 nerve root. Attention is first placed on specific reflexology techniques (either Thai or conventional) and then shifts to a focus on the root cause of the condition.

I will offer this as a two-day training only twice this year (in Florida) and in four locations in Canada. (Anyone who attended the one-day class last year is invited to repeat the training at a reduced price. Please call me for details.)

Heads up: 2011 is a license renewal year for Florida massage therapists, so as the year moves ahead classes fill up quickly. The January Plantar Fasciitis and Thai Foot Reflexology workshops in St. Augustine will be the most spacious.

Choosing the Right Program

I’m thinking of registering for a reflexology training soon, and was thinking about the thought process I go through in choosing classes for myself.

I’m very selective when it comes to spending my precious time and money  – and I suspect you are, too. In the area of education, I expect my money’s worth; I want to leave the class feeling personally enriched and armed with information and skills I can incorporate immediately into my life. I want to be in the presence of instructors who, not only know their “stuff”, but also know how to “teach”; how to get the information across clearly, and inspire and empower those of us looking to them for guidance.

That led me to think about conversations that typically occur when people call to inquire about the Academy’s certification training. I realize that in calling you want to get a sense of me as much as you want to know what you can expect from the program. Naturally, you want to know if we’re “on the same page”, if you’ll feel welcomed and accepted. You want to know if the material will meet your goals, and if the program format matches your learning style, and if you’ll know how to introduce your new skills and knowledge to your community once the training is over.

I want you to make the right decision for yourself, so call with your questions and concerns. Before you pick up the phone, you may want to read a short questionnaire I created to help people determine whether or not the Academy’s program is right for them. Your answers to the questions will go a long way towards informing you whether you are in the right place or not. (My phone number is 904/553.4067 EST.)

The 2011 Therapeutic Hand & Foot Professional Reflexology Certification begins February10th.

Reflexology Certification – More for Less in 2011!

I am very excited to unveil the re-vamped Therapeutic Hand & Foot Reflexology Professional Certification. Beginning with the 2011 program, credit hours will increase from 250 to 315; and although I had planned the tuition to reflect the additional hours of training, I have decided, in consideration of the economic situation in this country, not to increase fees for 2011.

Another change that will help everyone financially, especially those people who fly in from other states, is a new scheduling format, which creates more time between modules. This new schedule also makes it possible to complete most of the required outside documented sessions within the scheduled timeframe of the classroom dates.

Beginning in 2011, the reflexology certification will commence every February in historic St. Augustine, Florida. The new scheduling allows participants to enjoy winter, spring, summer and fall in the country’s oldest  city. (I know – some people don’t think we have seasons in Florida, but we do!)

All the details, including dates, tuition and payment options, are now available on the Academy website. Take a peek!
