Wintertime Is For Planning

New Year’s Resolutions aside, I’ve always felt that winter, in general, is the ideal time for planning. The colder temperatures and shorter days do not lend themselves to planting or reaping. But this makes it the perfect time for reflection and goal setting.

Especially this winter! If you’ve been laying low during the worst weeks of the pandemic, what do you see yourself doing when you are able to more fully do as you wish?

Do you want to grow a business? Expand your knowledge and increase your qualifications?

If you’ve ever been curious about exploring the opportunity of offering reflexology to the world as a certified professional, now is the time to fulfill your dream!

Why reflexology?

  • It’s very popular; there’s a high level of interest from the public. A recent episode of the Netflix series “Virgin River” even showed a nurse practitioner use foot reflexology (along with aromatherapy) to help a needle-averse patient accept a much-needed IV.
  • You will make a real difference in your clients’ lives (and your own!). You’ll have expertise in a specific approach to offer effective, individualized sessions. Whether you offer reflexology as a stand-alone session or combine it with massage, everyone wins. (Therapists who open with targeted reflexology techniques report getting better – and easier – results from their massage efforts.)
  • You’ll grow a successful business. Your clients will experience amazing results, they will tell others and return for more. Word-of-mouth will grow your clientele.
  • Certification demonstrates your seriousness and commitment to helping people achieve better health.
  • This program is designed with your health and safety in mind. Protocols are in place to minimize exposure to COVID, and you will learn how to minimize your clients’ risk as well.
  • In using technology to its fullest advantage, students have access to a private website with videos of all classroom demos, plus additional educational content.

2021 is the last year that I will be teaching the Therapeutic Hand & Foot Reflexology Professional Certification. If you register now and pay in full by February 15, you’ll receive a $200 discount.

Consider this grad’s experience:

“These past … months have added a sense of wholeness to my experience on a physical, mental as well as spiritual level. I have gained a deeper understanding of communicating through touch, and a deep appreciation for having a career that visits that space of awareness. This program has greatly broadened my ideas of starting my career, and my confidence about its success. … I have learned a great deal about being a professional.”

A New YOU!

Person jumping chasm between two rocks labeled 2020 and 2021

Person jumping chasm between two rocks labeled 2020 and 2021Whew, 2020 is in the books! What an exceptional year of change, challenge, and lessons.

Every New Years Day brings an opportunity to reflect on our desires for the year ahead. Yet this year it feels even more significant, maybe because 2020 was so remarkable.

What do you want for yourself in this new year? Did 2020 change you, or reshape your priorities? What did you learn last year that you will carry forward? What new things would you like to learn?

If you are ready for a very constructive challenge, I urge you to consider making this the year you become certified in reflexology. The Academy of Ancient Reflexology’s Professional Certification Program teaches you how to safely and comfortably help people relax. And wouldn’t you agree the world needs more of that right now?

The program can be life changing. You’ll learn how to perform reflexology, of course! And that is a wonderful, marketable skill. Reflexology is a very enjoyable and highly effective way to reduce stress and to help your clients improve their health. Reflexology is also easy and fun to learn and to give!

But in addition, you’ll learn things about yourself. What truly motivates you? How will you align a reflexology business and marketing plan with your core values? How can you most effectively communicate with clients to be the best healthcare provider you can be?

The Certification is a 315-hour program, with 200 in-class hours that provide training in foot reflexology, hand reflexology, and even a short introduction to ear reflexology. (According to the National Council for Reflexology Educators, most reflexology schools only offer 110 in-class hours, and teach only foot reflexology!)

In-class hours are educational and FUN, and best of all—you get to spend 25 days on Saint Augustine Beach!

Sign up now and pay in full by February 15 to receive a $200 discount! Follow this link to register.

Here’s what one graduate had to say about the Professional Certification Program:

“I’ve learned a lot and have added work that my clients are loving, and [I’ve] even gotten new clients. There’s a fresh buzz in my business, and my brain is full of new ideas. I’m really glad I decided to do this…. It’s really enlivened my practice, and I look forward to what happens next.”

Contact me to see if achieving reflexology certification is the right New Year Resolution for (a New) YOU!
