Discover the benefits of reflexology and learn practical techniques you can use for yourself, family and friends

This workshop is designed for complete beginners and provides an excellent introduction to reflexology, while giving you a strong foundation for anyone considering further training or a future career within the holistic and complementary therapy industry.

It is ideal if you would like to learn how to use simple, practical reflexology techniques to support the wellbeing of family and friends, develop your own self-care practice, or simply explore your interest in holistic therapies.

​

Alongside the wonderful relaxation and wellbeing benefits of reflexology, you will also be introduced to the principles and practical techniques of Five Element Acupressure Massage.

This unique combination gives you the opportunity to explore two complementary approaches to wellbeing and learn techniques that you can continue to use in everyday life.

​

My own journey with Five Element Acupuncture has deepened my appreciation of the fascinating relationship between our physical and emotional wellbeing.

I have seen how powerful it can be to create time and space for relaxation, mindful touch and self-care. My intention with these workshops is to share simple, accessible and practical techniques that you can confidently incorporate into your own wellbeing routine and share with the people you care about.

If you have attended one of my workshops before, this is also a wonderful opportunity to refresh and develop your existing reflexology skills, while discovering the additional world of Five Element Acupressure Massage.

​

What Makes This Workshop Special?

This workshop has been designed to be much more than simply learning a sequence of techniques.

It is an opportunity to slow down, learn through touch, build confidence and develop practical skills that you can take away and use in everyday life.

You will receive guidance and support throughout the workshop, with plenty of time to practise and experience the techniques for yourself.

My aim is for you to leave feeling:

Inspired • Supported • More Confident • Relaxed • Excited to Practise

You will also gain simple techniques that can become part of your own self-care routine and can be shared appropriately with family and friends.
