Diploma in Reflexology
Breaking News
As a result of a review by the Government and Skills for Health the reflexology diploma is changing. From January 2011 the course will contain additional content and two extra modules. This will make the course longer and unfortunately more expensive. So if you are thinking of taking the diploma, book onto the Autumn diploma, starting in October, now.
Why should you train with Calming Influences? Lots of reasons but we have a pass rate in excess of 98%, individual tutorials and a guarantee of personal attention. Talk to Jackie the course principle on 02380 463438 today.
Diploma in Reflexology
This course covers all aspects of reflexology's history, reflexology theory and the anatomy and physiology required for a reflexologist to give individual treatments. Students are taught how to treat their clients holistically, taking into account any illness or stress they are suffering 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.
Why Train with Calming Influences?
The aim of the school is to train Reflexologists to the highest possible standards, giving them a thorough understanding of the therapy and practice of reflexology and its place within the whole culture of complementary medicine. Our students are taught the practical skills required to provide safe and effective treatments as well as the underpinning knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
We aim to produce Reflexologists who exhibit a consistently high level of professionalism within their practice and are ambassadors for this beneficial therapy.
