Reflexology Certification

Reflexology is a practice to relieve body tension, stress, and pain, and treat illness by manipulating reflex points on feet, hands, ears, and head that link to every part of the body.

Imagining a body image projected onto a hand, foot or ear, roughly describes the location of reflex points in relation to the body and its functions. For example, fingertips and toes would cater to parts of the head, quite useful in case of headaches or sinus infections and the likes.

Thanks to the body's reflex connections this modality is also very helpful in reaching internal organs so to speak. It is further stimulating the function of whole-body systems, some of which are not as easily reached with other bodywork techniques, like glands and their hormone function.

Everyone can benefit from Reflexology, including infants, children, pregnant women, elderly, even the terminally ill or dying. Simple logistics allow for easy practice in any setting.

Reflexology is often combined with other wellness therapies, which gives the practitioner a greater variety of tools, provides clients with various wellness options, and enhances treatment outcomes.

All Reflexology education at Body Wisdom, includes techniques that can be practiced in most locations in the US without professional licensure. Whether you consider Reflexology for personal use, friends & family or to become a part- or full-time professional, the only requirement to attend, is mental/emotional maturity for ethical practice.
