The Course |
Dual IntentThe Iyisana Reflex Therapy training course has a dual intent: - the practical development required to become a reflex therapy healer ~ and to emphasize both your personal development and healing. This will be achieved in two ways:
Reflex TherapyModern reflexology has become very focused on working points on the feet. Fortunately working the hands is now being recognized as a powerful form of natural healing. However, there are points all over the body and I believe that having the ability to work in many different ways will allow you to best meet the needs of your clients. This course will therefore guide you through a much wider variety of treatments, starting with facial and ear reflexology, and continuing on to hand and foot reflexology. Additionally you will learn techniques usually considered to be ‘advanced’ but which I consider to be essential for you to bring the very best benefits to your future clients. In your reflex therapy training you will learn how to locate and feel the reflex zones and specific acupoints, to assess and then give the required response to that reflex and to your client. A client might need relaxing or stimulating, or the reflex zone might need specific manipulation in order to create change. You will learn how to work with your client on all levels and with many different facets of the harmonics of healing in order to help them move closer to a state of balance and harmony. You will be encouraged to develop your own way of working with the reflex zones, and to develop your intuitive response. Towards the end of the course, as your intuition develops, you will be encouraged to link into sounds, colour and the use of gemstones, all forms of vibrational resonance to use on the reflex zones; and to apply essential or herbal oils to the feet, which is a very ancient way of healing. In addition to the practical reflex therapy skills, you will learn about stress management – the causes and effects of stress and which healthy living practices will help. You will look at basic nutrition, the benefits of exercise and above all the importance of living in a relaxed and balanced way. You will be taught some relaxation and breathing exercises, all of which you will be able to teach to your clients. Implicit in both the study of reflex therapy and stress management, will be your growing awareness and understanding of the very powerful link between mind, body and spirit. Underpinning the healing arts, you will be given a thorough grounding in the workings of the body through the learning of anatomy, physiology and pathology. Finally, on a very practical level, you will be given guidance in setting up and running your reflex therapy practice. Healer, Heal thyselfIn many ways this is the most important aspect of the training, as self-healing is essential for your own personal development as a healer. Throughout the training great emphasis will be placed on the importance of self-healing and you will be expected to test all the healing arts on yourself. One of my fundamental beliefs is that we should never ask anyone else to do something we have not already done ourselves. This way we can better understand the benefits, difficulties, commitment and outcomes of the natural ways. As a potential reflex therapy healer you need time to consider and experience all the issues raised in the classroom and how to integrate them into your life. This experiential learning will bring balance to the academic learning and will equip you to be better able to assist those who will seek your professional help. If you understand the difficulties and complexities of bringing change to your own life, you will be able to work with others with more compassion and understanding.
