Reflexology courses are offered throughout the world in a seemingly infinite array of styles, techniques and methods.
In the United States, reflexology courses are taught at reflexology and massage schools, community colleges, health and wellness centers, senior centers and other facilities that cater to bodywork and healing. There are also correspondence and online reflexology courses available, as well.
In some cases, professional reflexologists will provide specialized training, on a one-to-one basis, for those who desire learning how to do reflexology for family and friends. This, of course, does not qualify someone to provide reflexology professionally. However, it does offer an opportunity to learn a wonderful healing modality and share it with loved ones.
Reflexology Courses – What To Look For
Before making your selection form the numerous offerings, ask yourself these questions:
- What do I hope to do with what I will learn?
- Am I hoping to become a professional reflexologist? If so, will I work for someone or open my own practice? (If you decide to work for someone, they may have a course of study in mind they would like you to take.)
- After thoroughly researching my options, is the education I desire being offered locally? Or, will I need to travel to a different state or country?
- Do I want to learn at a more leisurely pace over a period of time and not be pressured with a focused curriculum that requires several modules and hundreds of hours of study and practice?
- Or, am I satisfied to learn just enough to provide reflexology for my family and friends and maybe some local volunteer work at a hospital or senior center?
Once you are clear on the direction you will take, the next step is selecting one of the many reflexology courses offered.
If you live in the United States, many states have reflexology associations. They can be a great resource for educational offerings. I live in Washington State and the Washington Reflexology Association – or WRA – is the state association. Depending on what state you live in, you may or may not have a reflexology association to reference. If you do, contact them by phone or email and “pick their brain” a little.
- Where did you get trained?
- Who do you recommend and why?
- What equipment do I need to perform reflexology?
- Can I attend one of your chapter meetings to learn more about reflexology?
Reflexologists are very friendly people. They love what they do and want to share it with others. They also have an interest in keeping the standards of their industry as high as possible.
An online search for a reflexology course will return a staggering number of results! Some offer a free trial period or a discount if you ask for one. As the saying goes, it never hurts to ask!
The last resource you can access to learn some reflexology, is your local library. Although, technically they don’t offer a course of study, the information in books, on CD’s and DVD’s can be a great starting point for someone wanting to become familiar with and learn about reflexology.
The bottom line is: make your plan, do your research and subsequent due diligence, read reviews and choose wisely.
