The Academy of Reflective Wellness presents 2022-2023 Certification Dates

 The Academy of Reflective Wellness

East Meets West 300 Certification program 2022-2023

This is a comprehensive Reflexology education. We will address body systems, how they interact, and why a Reflexologist needs to have this knowledge. This education is aimed at those aspiring to offer professional services to their community. If you are, however, aiming to address your own family members for specific situations, you may find this group most welcoming.

So much of what a client needs is never expressed in an intake form. TCM education will allow Reflexologist to address their clients more compassionately.

Dates assigned to specific topics will allow for Reflexologists to review for CE's. Hopefully, you will be privileged to some of those discussions as we build on our knowledge bases. It's always fun when that happens.

The importance of the Digestive System and the details of the accurate location will be the focus.  There is more going on there than just the digestion of food.  This is why the Nervous system with detail on the Cranial Nerves becomes a logically paired topic.  Charting all this in a logical system to allow the practitioner to keep track of the issues brought to the session as well as the progress made from one session to the next is a valuable necessary tool for the Reflexologist.
