CPD Modules

Incorporating Ayurvedic Principles into Reflexology Treatments

This one-day course provides an introduction to the Ayurvedic Five Elements, the seven Main Chakras and the principles of Polarity Therapy which incorporates many Ayurvedic approaches. We will look at how this knowledge can be applied to client energetic diagnosis and how reflexology treatments can be adapted using additional techniques. A comprehensive workbook will be provided and a CDRom of these and other techniques will be available for purchase at moderate cost. This is a vast subject. The intention is to provide enough information and hands-on practice for reflexologists to successfully enhance their treatments and provide a basis, if so inspired, to go on and learn more from further reading and personal research. Attendees should bring wipes and reflexology cream. The course is preceded by discussion of recent research into the existence of universal energy. (Anyone attending the TCM one-day course can miss the first 15 minutes as this topic also precedes that course).
