Want to offer reflexology to your clients?

Learn how AND earn continuing education (CE) credits with the accredited Comprehensive Reflexology for the Foot and Comprehensive Reflexology for the Hand online courses at www.jumozy.com.

Reflexes on the feet and hands correspond to each gland, organ, and part of the body. The healing art of reflexology relaxes those reflexes that are in turn connected to various parts of the body, improving lymphatic drainage and circulation as well as relaxing muscles and stimulating nerve connections.

In these 7.5-hour courses on reflexology, Meade Steadman, LMT and professional educator, will guide you from theory to practical application for providing this therapy.

Discussions include the various hypotheses of why reflexology works to the current research substantiating some of the claims. Video excerpts are included for visual, step-by-step demonstrations of techniques and how to work the whole body for balance. In addition to the body map, hand and foot anatomy, body physiology, and systems are discussed, explaining the interconnections and providing guidance for working reflexes to address specific health problems.

Also included are: history, benefits and contraindications, tips for getting started, working on infants and geriatric and pregnant clients, after-treatment, marketing, and other professional concerns. Resources are included for licensing, certification, and further information.

“I have taken this course, and greatly enjoyed it. It was informative and easy to follow. I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent taking this course.” Jennifer B.

“All the information is presented in a wonderful way – the sections are short enough as to not be intimidating, and easy to read and understand as to retain the information. The video clips are great – I particularly liked the one about precautions, where Meade brings up the point that a practitioner is an authority figure, and people will take you at your word. I thought that was an excellent way of getting the point across for a practitioner to be honest and responsible in their work.” Nicole W.
