Course Details

Reflexology is a natural healing technique based on the principle that there are points (reflexes) in the hands and feet that correspond to all parts, glands, and organs of the body; by palpating these points, we can assist the body directly in balancing itself, immediately reducing stress and increasing circulation; indirectly, as we support the body's natural ability to heal itself, all of the body systems are affected in a positive way. 

By learning about foot reflexology, you can learn to take care of y our feet and the rest of y our body at the same time.Reflexology is a very effective therapy that is becoming recognized as an important modality of Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM).

In fact, according to the World Health Organization, 24% of Canadians visited CAM practitioners in 1999; of those, 2% visited reflexologists, an increase of 100% over the previous 5 years.  

Join us -- in small classes -- to learn how to use foot reflexology as a health care practice.  Prepare yourself to treat family and friends as well as to become a certified practitioner who can work in your own practice, as part of a CAM group, or for a spa. 

You will learn the theory upon which reflexology is based, and you will become familiar with both a basic foot routine and various  supporting routines that will relieve various health imbalances. 

On-line learning activities will help you study, alone or with others, and will prepare you for the final exams.  Through guided case studies, you will get sufficient practice to become comfortable enough to work on new clients of your own.

Successful completion of this course will give you a basic working knowledge of the safe use of reflexology as a professional practice or as an add-on in a related discipline such as nursing or massage therapy.

In addition, you will become eligible to apply for membership in the Reflexology Association of Canada or a similar organization in your province as a Professional Member.

Other Activities

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS: All students are urged to join a professional Aromatherapy organization and obtain practitioner insurance - even as a student.

  Each professional aromatherapy organization in North America has different requirements for professional membership that may or may not include certain number of study hours, certain number of case studies, and/or an entrance exam.

As of 2019, the  BelArome course curriculum at least meets all of the advanced requirements of each North American professional Aromatherapy organization.

If the organization that you choose to join after you receive your certificate requires you to take its own exam, you will have to arrange it and pay that organization; it is not included in the exams for this course, but you can request that we act as a proctor if needed.

It is highly recommended that you become a student member of the Reflexology Association of Canada (RAC).  In addition, there is a local Montreal chapter that you can join; this vibrant chapter has many interesting activities that will increase your learning in an enjoyable way.  Further information will be given in class.
