The Academy of Reflective Wellness

2023-2024 Syllabus

Where Reflexology reflects the art of science!

This is a comprehensive Reflexology education.

We will address body systems, how they interact
Why a Reflexologist needs to have this knowledge.

This education is aimed at those aspiring to offer professional services to their community. However, if you aim to address your family members for specific situations, you will also find this group most welcoming.

So much of what a client needs is never expressed in an intake form. TCM education will allow Reflexologist to address their clients more compassionately.

Dates assigned to specific topics will allow Reflexologists to review for CE's. Hopefully, you will be privileged to have some of those discussions as we build on our knowledge bases. It's always fun when that happens.

Module 2 Digestive System Secrets,
Necessities of the Nervous System
Organize and Customize the Session

Class Dates: Oct 14-15 and Oct 28-29 EB Before Oct 7

The importance of the Digestive System and the details of the accurate location will be the focus. There is more going on there than just the digestion of food. This is why the Nervous system with detail on the Cranial Nerves becomes a logically paired topic. Charting all this in a logical approach to allow the practitioner to keep track of the issues brought to the session and the progress made from one session to the next is a valuable tool for the Reflexologist.
