SUMMARY:Unit One: Introduction to Reflexology - Spring 2022
DESCRIPTION:Reflexology is a gentle bodywork modality that encourages the body towards homeostasis in all physical and energetic systems. Primary benefits include deep relaxation\, improved circulation\, and an enhanced sense of well-being. \nIntroduction to Reflexology is a combined in-person and online course\, part of The Barefoot Dragonfly’s 300-hour Professional Reflexology Certificate program. There are no prerequisites to this module and registration is open twice a year – in the Spring and in the Fall. \nSpring 2022 Schedule\nEnrollment is now open for the Spring 2022 semester. This unit consists of six online lessons and two practicum days in the studio starting on Wednesday\, January 26th\, 2022. \nAbout the Lessons\nThere are eight lessons in this module: \n  \n\nReflexology Origins & Theories – Wednesday\, January 26th\, 9-11am – In this lesson we’ll explore the history of Reflexology – from ancient civilizations through to modern practices – as well as the theories of how Reflexology works.

Students complete theory lessons online and attend practicum lessons and clinical reviews in person at our Austin\, Texas studio. \nThe 300 hour course meets the educational guidelines set forth by the Reflexology Association of America (RAA)\,and prepares students to sit for the American Reflexology Certification Board (ARCB) national board exam. \nStudying in a Pandemic\nThis will by my fifth semester teaching Reflexology in a pandemic and the key word I’ve found is flexibility. Many students travel from out of town to study with me\, and some travel from out of state. Please note that travel restrictions have remained a theme throughout the pandemic. Practicum dates are subject to rescheduling to account for changes in viral spread\, community\, and the needs of students and educator. Join me via Zoom for a Reflexology Program Open House on Wednesday\, December 15th at 9am.
