The aim of the course is to provide participants with the necessary theory and skills to practice as Professional Reflexologists. Emphasis is placed on the ability to identify and work on reflex points of the feet systematically and with skilled pressure to bring about a state of relaxation, a sense of well-being, improvement of nerve function, lymph and blood supply, excretion of toxins from the body, and balance and harmony to the whole being. The inter-connectedness of body, feelings, mind and soul and their acknowledgement when treating clients, is an integral aspect of training.
