These courses prepare you to practice Reflexology with family/friends or at a professional level.

  • Basic Foot Reflexology
  • Intermediate Foot Reflexology
  • Professional Practice
The above courses have been certified by the Reflexology Association of Canada (RAC) as foundation courses, entitling the students who complete the three courses & pass the Reflexology Association of BC (RABC) Proficiency exams to be eligible to join RAC.  These associations - RAC & RABC are the professional groups for Reflexologists in BC & Canada.

Continuing Education is important for professional development.  The following courses are taught as well.

Reflexology is a natural therapy that recognizes the interconnection of all things. It is relaxing, while improving circulation and organ function, promoting the elimination of toxins. The treatment sessions involve the manipulation of reflexes and energy points of the indicated parts of the body.

There will be a Certificate of Completion issued upon successful completion of the instruction and practicum for each course. These Certificates can be used towards meeting the standards of the Reflexology Association of BC in order to be recognized as an Approved Reflexology Practitioner.
