Reflexology

Reflexology deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands that correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes using the thumb and fingers can help many health problems in a natural way.
Reflexology improves nerve and blood supply, activates the relaxation response and helps nature to normalize. These effects, in turn, help the body enter into a state where healing can best occur.
Certification in reflexology includes over 200 hours of classroom instruction, 100 documented practice sessions, and 30 hours of instructional reading followed by written and practical examinations.
