BASIC HOLISTIC HAND REFLEXOLOGY COURSE in REGINA
This intensive seventy five hour course is offered as a weekend course and consists of twenty hours of group instruction followed by forty hours of practicum and fifteen hours of home assignment. Enrolment is limited to eight participants ensuring plenty of personal supervision during the learning process. A complete set of course notes are provided to each participant to support them in their learning process.
The first evening of the course (Friday 7 - 10 pm) commences with an introduction to the historical and theoretical context of reflexology - with an emphasis on hand reflexology. The evening is completed with a "hands-on" introduction to techniques used to loosen up and relax the hands and the basic techniques used to stimulate reflexes.
Saturday (9 am - 6 pm) in the morning instruction is provided in the techniques used to stimulate the reflex areas of your own hands. To complete the day, techniques used to work another person's hands are taught.
Sunday (9 am - 6 pm), applying reflexology techniques to another person's hands is reviewed. Most of the day is spent learning and practicing these techniques. At the conclusion of the course instruction, the requirements of the practicum are reviewed before participants set out to practice with their friends.
Participants submit documentation of their practice for review and coaching upon completion of their practicum. Participants who are not able to submit their documentation in person submit it by mail.
The promise of the course is that participants who complete the requirements will be able to practice hand reflexology competently on themselves and other persons. A certificate is awarded for successful completion of the course.

SOME COMMENTS THAT ACCOMPANIED THE EVALUATIONS:
“I did this course for people that you can’t work on feet. I had amazing results & started to like to give hand reflexology more than feet. I liked the exchange a lot. The student clinic is really great.”
“I found most valuable the respect for the students and the precise information.”
“I found most valuable the course content, the practicum aspect and the student clinics – especially.”
“We learned to use this method on ourselves.”
“The hands-on practice was valuable & I find it valuable to have someone to call when things arise.”
“Most valuable were the actual techniques of using our hands most effectively and correctly at each of the different organs.”
“The course has given me a better understanding of the way our bodies hold and/or release stressors. Great experience.”
“ I found that the practice time on other classmates hands is invaluable. As well the “home” practice sessions on clients enables the student to remember what he/she has learned. Also reviewing the “form’ for critical points and completion is essential especially when the reflexology leads to a business.”
“There was enough time to study and let the course sink in as a lot of the terminology was new to me. The hands-on for the 2 days was excellent.”
The most valuable thing I learned about was to learn how to work on my own hands. To take care of my own hands and my well being is important, so that I can take care of the other person.”
“I never felt that I needed to seek out any outside reading as everything was right there and very understandable. I really appreciated the course note binder & will treasure it. I feel very proud of the knowledge I’ve gained – even if I never use it, however I intend to!
“Most valuable was learning about the body & how we can help encourage the body to heal and relax.”
“The technique was very understandable, easy to learn with no stress in the class. It helped me a lot to do good work and getting each others feedback was beneficial and helped me to increase my confidence and knowledge.”
“Great Class.”
