The Diploma in Reflexology
qualification is a study of the
reflexes of the feet that relates to
the various parts of the body. Hand
Reflexology and Auricular Therapy
(reflexes of the ears) are also
taught during the year. Students
also study Zone Therapy and the
Meridians relating back to the feet
and hands. Working on these
reflexes, people experience
relaxation, balance and ease from
pain, swelling and discomfort.
The Diploma in
Reflexology course is a mixture of
in class training and correspondence
learning of workbooks and client
consultations. The student will
need to come to Nelson to attend
three weeks of training that is
structured within the year. The
block courses must be done in order,
and must be attended by the student
in order to learn the practical
applications of the feet, hands and
ears that is so important to
understand fully. The class begins
on a Monday, through to Friday, 9am
to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 4pm.
