SUMMARY:Intermediate Reflexology Course - Level Two
DESCRIPTION:Anatomy\, Physiology\, and Pathology for the Reflexology Practitioner\nThe Intermediate Reflexology course includes two learning units – 201 and 202 – with 24 hours of lecture and 24 hours of practicum in each unit. Coursework is aimed at exploring body systems through a whole-person lens and practicums are designed to help us apply our theoretical understandings of these systems on the reflex maps of the feet. \nWhen: Monday\, November 6th 2023 – Saturday\, March 23rd 2024\nWhere: Online and in the Austin\, Texas studio\nRegister: Registration is $792 through the Student Portal\nPrerequisite: Foundations in Reflexology or equivalent 48 hour coursework \n201 Body through Endocrine Systems – 48 hours\nThis unit has six lectures covering the following topics: \n\nThe Body – Anatomy and physiology begins with an understanding of the human body in terms that are relatable and easy to understand.\nThe Integumentary System – The skin is the largest organ of the body and can give us cues as to what is going on below the surface.\nThe Skeletal System – Bones are the framework of our body house – offering support\, protection\, shape\, and movement\, as well as mineral homeostasis.\nThe Muscular System – Muscles create movement for the bones and joints of the body as well as internal organs like the digestive tract.\nThe Nervous System – The nervous system picks up on what’s happening inside and outside the body and integrates this information to form a response.\nThe Endocrine System – The chemical messaging system of the body regulates many functions ranging from how deep tonight’s sleep will be to how tall you grew.\n\nThese lectures are delivered live via Zoom and are recorded for participants who cannot make the live lesson. \nFollowing the Zoom lectures are three days of in-person practicum offered in the Austin\, Texas studio. They include: \nDay One:\n\nObserving the Feet – partnering with a classmate\, we’ll explore skin hydration and tone and general nail health\, then review the body systems reflected on the feet;\nSOAP Notes – partnering with a classmate\, we’ll practice documenting our observations;\nReflex Techniques – we’ll add a couple of techniques to our routine for the central nervous system reflexes and practice the general ~30 minute foot routine.\n\nDay Two:\n\nGait Analysis – we’ll review gait analysis and practice observing classmate’s gaits for stress cues;\nReflex Location – we’ll put our theoretical lessons into practice by mapping out the musculoskeletal system reflexes on a classmate’s foot;\nNervous & Musculoskeletal System Practice – partnering with a classmate\, we’ll practice a protocol for the nervous and musculoskeletal system reflexes.\n\nDay Three:\n\nEndocrine System Routine – partnering with a classmate\, we’ll practice working the endocrine system simultaneously on both feet;\nForty Minute Foot Routine – we’ll pull together our new techniques and create a ~40 minute enhanced foot reflexology treatment with classmates;\nAreas of Emphasis – armed with a ~40 minute enhanced routine we’ll dip our toes into session planning skills to hone in on areas that need a bit more attention than others.\n\nBy the end of Unit 201 we’ll have a roughly forty minute foot reflexology routine that can easily be expanded to a full hour. \n202 Respiratory through Reproductive Systems – 48 hours\nThere are six lectures covering the following topics: \n\nThe Respiratory System – Respiration is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide through inhalation and exhalation.\nThe Cardiovascular System – A 6\,000+ mile network of vessels transports nutrients\, oxygen\, hormones\, and waste products like carbon dioxide and cellular waste around the body.\nThe Lymphatic and Immune System – The lymphatic and immune system is part of our body’s built in maintenance that transports fats and fat-soluble vitamins as well as providing a surveillance and defense mechanism against pathogens.\nThe Digestive System – The digestive system is designed to break down food into usable macro and micro nutrients in order to provide fuel for every cell in the body.\nThe Urinary System – Our built-in water treatment facility\, the Urinary System filters the blood and controls pH\, volume\, composition\, and pressure.\nThe Reproductive System – The reproductive system is unique in that it doesn’t come online until puberty and maintains function until midlife when menopause/manopause bring a decline or halt to proliferative processes in the gonads.\n\nThese lectures are delivered live via Zoom and are recorded for participants who cannot make the live lesson. \nFollowing the Zoom lectures are three days of in-person practicum offered in the Austin\, Texas studio. They include: \nDay One:\n\nObserving the Feet – partnering with a classmate\, we’ll explore new the new body systems we covered over lecture;\nSOAP Notes – partnering with a classmate\, we’ll practice documenting our observations;\nThoracic Routine – we’ll add to our existing chest region protocols to specifically target reflex locations for respiratory and cardiovascular systems.\nLymphatics – we’ll take some basic measurements of the feet then commence with a lymphatic routine and see if we notice changes in our classmate’s measurements;\nDigestive System Routine – this routine follows the natural flow of food from the mouth to the anus\, with accessory digestive organs;\n\nDay Two:\n\nUrinary System Routine – this routine helps the body remove liquid waste via the urinary bladder;\nReproductive System Routine – further enhancing our work from 201’s practicum routine for the endocrine system we’ll practice positioning for prenatal clients too;\n\nDay Three:\n\nSixty Minute Foot Routine – we’ll pull together our new techniques and create a ~60 minute complete foot reflexology treatment with classmates;\nAreas of Emphasis – armed with a ~60 minute complete routine we’ll practice incorporating areas of emphasis.\n\nSnack and lunch breaks are taken outdoors in the carport\, no food or drink is permitted in the studio. Participants are encouraged to bring a sack lunch and may utilize the refrigerator\, microwave\, and toaster oven in the kitchen. \nRegistration\nTo register\, visit the Intermediate Reflexology Course page on our user portal over on Practice Better.

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/.

SUMMARY:Holistic Health Consulting & Creating a Wellness Plan
DESCRIPTION:Reflexologists and aromatherapists provide holistic services that address the unique needs of their individual clients. In this two-part\, 8-hour live videoconference class Amy Kreydin presents an approach to consulting and developing wellness plans from a whole-client perspective – mind\, body\, and spirit. In part one\, participants will explore constitutional theories related to Ayurveda\, Traditional Chinese Medicine\, and Ancient Greek Medicine to gather the big picture of their client. In part two\, participants will work on drafting wellness plans that nurture that client’s individual strengths and weaknesses. \nThis course is offered as two\, 4-hour Zoom videoconference classes held live on Wednesday\, September 8th\, 9am-1pm\, and Wednesday\, September 15th\, 9am-1pm. Prerequisites are advanced reflexology and/or aromatherapy students with a minimum of 50 hours of study\, or graduates of a professional reflexology or aromatherapy course with a minimum of 200 hours of study. This is not a substitute for a health coach type of course. It is intended to supplement and enhance the skills of healing arts practitioners in these two areas of study.
