SUMMARY:Reflexology & Essential Oils for Anxiety and Depression - LONDON
DESCRIPTION:Enhance your therapeutic toolkit with a hands-on workshop bringing together the powerful practices of reflexology and aromatherapy to help manage anxiety and depression. Anxiety disorders affect over 8 million people in the UK (Mental Health UK)\, and about 280 million people worldwide struggle with depression (WHO). The need for effective\, whole-person treatment approaches has never been greater. \nWhen combining reflexology and essential oil therapy\, we amplify the benefits of each modality\, providing a deeply powerful and comprehensive approach to supporting our clients. Direct inhalation of essential oils quickly transmits these chemical messengers from the olfactory bulb to the regions of the brain that play a key role in emotional responses\, learning\, memory\, and social interaction (Arisi et al 2012). Reflexology’s targeted pressure techniques send waves of relaxation and comfort throughout the nervous system. Together\, these therapies create a synergistic effect\, offering greater relief and support than when used individually. \nIn this supportive workshop\, you’ll gain advanced skills and knowledge to support your clients’ mental health and emotional well-being. Through detailed instruction and hands-on training\, you’ll learn how to effectively combine these modalities in your professional practice\, making a real difference in the lives of those you care for. \nWho should attend?\n\nReflexologists\, and massage therapists seeking to expand their skill set and confidence in holistic mental health.\nMental health professionals looking to integrate somatic therapies into their practice.\nPhytotherapy practitioners wanting to enhance care plans with pressure point techniques and fast-acting aromatics.\n\n Learning Outcomes\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the common symptoms and causes of anxiety and depression.\nRecognize the physiological and psychological effects of mood disorders on the body and mind.\nExplain the physiological effects of reflexology and essential oil therapy.\nCreate a personalized treatment plan using reflexology and aromatherapy to address specific symptoms of anxiety and/or depression.\nFormulate a bespoke personal inhaler based on the treatment plan.\nEducate clients on the benefits of combined reflexology and essential oils for mental wellness.\nProvide self-care recommendations for clients to use at home.\nEnsure safety through identification of contraindications and safety precautions when working with concentrated plant aromatics.\n\nAbout Amy\nAmy Kreydin\, Board Certified Reflexologist and Clinical Aromatherapist\, has been in private practice since 2004. Kreydin received her certificate as a Certified Reflexologist from the Palmer Institute in Salem\, MA in 2004\, and was awarded her board certificate in Reflexology from the American Reflexology Certification Board in 2006. She trained at a Harvard teaching hospital in Boston\, MA and obtained her Certified Clinical Aromatherapy Practitioner (CCAP) in 2011. In 2016 she completed her advanced diploma in Aromatic Medicine. Since 2022 Amy has run a weekly group in a psychiatric and behavioral hospital working with a range of mood disorders and ages\, in her ‘aromatherapy group’ patients use a combination of self-care reflexology techniques and direct inhalation of essential oils. Kreydin is passionate about whole body wellness and loves helping folks reach their wellness goals to live an abundant\, vibrant\, and balanced life. \nCourse Cost:\n$100.00 deposit with balance of £260.00 due on the day.

SUMMARY:Guest Speaker - Chantel Lucier - Reflexology for Trauma & Addiction
DESCRIPTION:The Barefoot Dragonfly LLC and the Texas Reflexology Association are delighted to be hosting Chantel Lucier for a two-day workshop this Summer! \nReflexology for Trauma & Addiction (Level I)\nChantel’s 2-day reflexology workshop is comprised of three segments that utilize lecture\, demonstration\, and hands-on practice. The three segments that make up the workshop are: \n\nThe No-Mind Approach to Wellness (a philosophy and methodology to help the practitioner release the diagnosis in sessions)\nA Compassionate Intake Process (CIP) ~ holding space for client’s healing)\nReflexology Protocols (hereafter referred to as “Guides”;) for Trauma and Addiction\n\nAdopting what Chantel calls “The No-Mind Approach to Wellness” during a session helps the practitioner to release judgment and any need to control or fix the client. It also creates an opportunity for the client to release what they too may be holding onto since their diagnosis. This\, in turn\, creates a more conducive environment for the client’s healing process. In addition\, students will learn to cultivate a thorough and compassionate intake process. Because injury\, illness\, discomfort\, and disease are not always what they seem\, students will learn tools to assess and address not only the symptoms but also what may lie beneath the surface. The root cause – or what Chantel refers to as the emotional underbelly of the injury\, illness\, or disease – will be explored. This combination of releasing the dis-ease (or diagnosis)\, inhabiting a No-Mind Approach\, and providing sensitive and compassionate inquiry\, will then be coupled with Reflexology Guides to nurture the central and peripheral nervous systems\, thus addressing symptoms as well as the undercurrent of the trauma and addiction within the client. In all segments\, students will cultivate their heart space and enter what Chantel refers to as the “back body” to nurture good listening skills\, heart-centered responses\, and providing an effective session. \nAnatomy and Physiology\n\nAnatomy and physiology of the brain and the areas\, structures\, and glands that play a role in thought processes\, habitual negative thought patterns\, and dissociative and detachment disorders and tendencies.\nSpecific attention will be paid to the amygdala\, hippocampus\, hypothalamus\, thalamus\, basal ganglia\, and pituitary gland. Also\, an understanding of the role of the limbic system versus the prefrontal cortex and how to address these areas via the mini map in our own and our client’s hands and feet.\nAreas of the body that may show symptoms\, pain\, or imbalances in those who have experienced trauma and for those with active or past alcoholic or addictive behaviors.\nWhich structures\, glands\, and areas of the brain require detailed work for trauma and addiction.\nThe HPA axis and the target organs\, glands\, or systems affected by the trauma &/or addiction from a reflexology perspective.\nThe neurological system and how reflexology works via this system\, directly related to how we receive internal and external stimuli.\nReflexology Guides to address trauma and addiction and how they may vary depending on the type of trauma or addition (e.g.\, opioid\, alcohol\, nicotine\, marijuana\, or stimulants).\nSelf-care tools to use and impart to clients.\n\nStudents Will Learn\n\nReleasing our ideas of what the client needs.\nSuspending our judgment of the client or diagnosis.\nLearning how to retrieve information using a compassionate intake process.\nUnderstanding trauma\, subtle energy\, and how to create safe spaces for our clients.\nAsking the right questions to target the underbelly of the dis-ease and empowering the client to discover the answers on their own.\nAligning our energetic body to best serve our client.\nHaving a rich understanding of the nervous system and the Bodymind in order to best address a client’s concerns.\nReflexology techniques and methods.\nAnatomy and physiology of the brain.\nThe parts of the brain responsible for mood\, addictive behavior\, and emotional processing.\nReflexology guides for trauma and addiction.\nNew reflexology methods\, techniques\, and “subtle holds” for a detailed and integrative session.\n\nSCHEDULE AND HOURS DEFINED: This 16-hour\, 2-day weekend workshop will have 14 educational hours. Lunch breaks and out of classroom assignments are not included.\nREGISTRATION: This workshop is open to all levels. While some techniques are advanced\, Chantel’s approach makes the content\, methods\, and techniques easily accessible to all.\nPAYMENT: If you are a current member of ANY state reflexology association you are eligible for the “Member” rate. To qualify for this discount\, choose the member button for payment and send a copy of your current association membership to the group or association hosting the workshop.\nNCBTMB & ARCB CEs: This class is recognized by NCBTMB and ARCB.

SUMMARY:10 Minute Reflexology Mini Course
DESCRIPTION:Most of us are familiar with the long format\, 60 or even 90 minute reflexology treatment that is so nourishing to the nervous system. But 10 minutes of reflexology is a lot like 10 minutes of walking every day\, it helps you reach your goals faster than only occasionally walking or squeezing in a reflexology treatment once a month. \nOver the course of ten days we’ll cover: \n\nOrigins of Reflexology – a brief look at the history of foot therapies spanning some 5\,000 years of healing arts from India\, China\, Egypt\, Europe and today’s modern approaches in North America.\nTheories of Reflexology – how does reflexology work?

SUMMARY:Holistic Foot Care Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop we’re letting our feet tell us how to better care for them. Our feet are constantly communicating with the brain via specialized nerve receptors. When something is amiss we can suffer from pain\, discomfort\, changes in joints and tendons\, as well as funky skin and nail issues. \nAs a reflexologist of nearly two decades let me help you create a better relationship with your feet! We’ll work together to listen to the messages the feet are trying to communicate through movement\, pain\, tension\, and skin. Then we’ll practice with stretches and formulations that can help address some of these challenges. \nWe’ll cover: \n\nFoot Type – are you a slope\, a square\, a mountain\, or a plateau?\nGait and Stance – what stories can your feet tell you about how you walk and how you stand and sit?\nFootwear – are your shoes moving with you or against you?\nFoot Gym – what are the best stretches for your feet?\nFoot Spa – using nature’s own botanicals we’ll formulate bespoke remedies for soothing\, nurturing\, and thanking our hard-working feet.\n\nWalk away feeling inspired and your feet feeling nourished! \nWhat: Holistic Foot Care Workshop\nWhen: Saturday\, June 24th\, 10am-3pm (bring a sack lunch)\nWhere: The Barefoot Dragonfly studio at 7601 Pheasant Rock\, Austin\, TX 78729\nRegistration: $85.00\nWhy: Your feet are one of your most precious assets\, take care of them and they’ll take care of you!

SUMMARY:CE Workshop at TLC School
DESCRIPTION:This Fall I am delighted to be asked to return to The Lauterstein-Conway School of Massage to offer a continuing education class for allied health practitioners as well as the lay public interested in exploring the art and science of Reflexology in a six-hour workshop. Registration is through the TLC School at the link below. \n— \nReflexology 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. This introductory workshop will provide a brief overview of reflexology’s history and theories\, foot assessment\, and techniques employed in this modality. \nStimulating the pressure points on the feet has been used to help alleviate pain and promote relaxation and healing since the time of the Egyptians. The many different pressure point systems include points on the feet\, hands\, and other areas of the body that have corresponding points in other areas.  For example\, a point on the foot corresponds to a point in the spine.  When pressure is applied to these points\, the related part of the body is affected\, relaxing tension and helping the body seek its own balance and health. \nPressure point therapies can be used with any population\, do not require a massage table\, and can be applied and are effective in a short amount of time.  They can be used as a stand alone therapy with the client fully clothed\, or incorporated into a massage.  In a massage setting\, working on the pressure point first can relax the corresponding area\, making massage techniques more effective.  In certain injuries or illnesses\, pressure point therapies can address situations often difficult for massage\, such as stimulating healing of wounds\, fractures\, burns\, endocrine imbalances\, and skin conditions.  Pressure point therapies also address emotional conditions related to chronic stress. \nRegistration: https://www.tlcmassageschool.com/continuing-education/upcoming-ce-workshops/reflexology-pressure-points-for-healing-and-relaxation/.
