Diploma in Reflexology

This nine month course covers all aspects of reflexology's history, reflexology theory and the anatomy and physiology required for a reflexogist to give individual treatments. Students are taught how to treat their clients holistically, taking into account any illnesses or stressess they may suffer from.

If you are looking for either a new career or would just like some extra income, this course is the one for you. As one of the fastest growing complementary therapies there is increasing demand for trained professional therapists in both the Private and Public sectors. More and more Reflexologists are now working in the NHS as well as in many private complementary clinics. With Reflexologists charging their clients between £25 and £40 for a one hour private treatment, it is possible to earn a good living working as a Reflexologist.
