Reflexology and Acupressure are 5000 year-old techniques which were introduced to the United States in the early 1900’s.  They are based in the connection of the reflex zones and acupressure points in the hands and feet which are linked to every organ, tissue, gland, and part of the body through energy or qi, which travels through zones and channels.  This course will also employ aromatherapy essential oils to enhance the effects of the work.

 Objective:     

1. Learn the location and function of reflex zones and acupressure points in the hand and feet
2. Relate each zone and meridian to the physiological systems of the body and how energy medicine enhances their function
3. You will learn the function and value of essential oils
4. You will learn how to recognize important pathologies in the feet through special palpation
5. Perform a comprehensive treatment using essential oils, reflexology and acupressure

Reflexology and Aromatherapy can be used in all chronic or difficult myofascial and viral conditions.  Both zone and acupressure points are manipulated with the oils in techniques which come from Tibetan medicine.  The combination of Eastern and Western techniques is deeper and more revitalizing than conventional Western reflexology.  

What to Bring: Wear shorts/loose comfortable clothes. Bring materials to take notes, 1 set of sheets per day/face cradle cover/blanket, 2 hand towels, 2 standard size pillows and your favorite lubrication.  If you use essential oils and wish to bring them with you, please feel free.  Massage tables will be provided.  

A lunch break will be taken midday. You may bring your lunch, or eat at one of the many restaurants located nearby.
