The Academy of Reflective Wellness
The Academy of Reflective Wellness strives to give each student the knowledge and techniques necessary to help clients achieve balance. Imbalances whether it be physical, mental or emotional which all has a spiritual impact on each of us, can then be encouraged to level out. Reflexology encourages the body to return to a healthier ebb and flow rather than the extremes that result in illness. Rather elegant. Wouldn't you agree?

2026-2027 Syllabus
Where Reflexology reflects the art of science!
This is a comprehensive Reflexology education.
- We will address body systems, how they interact
- Why a Reflexologist needs to have this knowledge
- How to work smarter rather than harder
- What a Reflexology practice involves
- state requirements
- how to research local business requirements
- your rights and responsibilities
So much of what a client needs is never expressed in an intake form. TCM education will allow Reflexologists to address their clients more compassionately.
Dates assigned to specific topics allow previously certified Reflexologists to review for CE's. Hopefully, you will be privileged to have some of those discussions as we build on our knowledge bases. It's always fun when that happens.

- what it controls,
- what each element promotes
- what each element controls
