Course Description

How is stress hampering your life?
 
Headaches? Insomnia? Ulcers? Anxiety attacks? Depression? Broken relationships? Poor performance at work? Intimacy issues?
 
Apart from the havoc stress wrecks on our day-to-day lives, did you know that roughly 75% of ALL health problems can be directly linked to your level of stress?
 
Stress management is a growing concern, and some of the options available can be costly or confusing--sometimes both. Many people suffering from stress and situational anxiety are hesitant to turn to pharmacological solutions until they’ve first tried everything else.
 
But what if you could handle stress naturally and holistically? Instructor Barbara Wills has worked to create a course on the art of reflexology that aims to do exactly that.
 
If you've heard about reflexology (a long standing practice that employs gentle pressure and manipulation of the hands and feet at specific points that correspond to all of the parts and systems of your body) but want to learn more, then this course is precisely what the "doctor" ordered.
 
Not only will you learn "about" reflexology, you’ll also be equipped with several methods and techniques that will allow you to put reflexology to work improving your overall health and well being.
 
The class is both self-paced and self-contained. If you're comfortable reading at a high school level, then you've got all you need in order to get started and to succeed.

Editorial Review

Have you ever wondered why something as simple as a nice foot rub can revolutionize a fretful, stressful day?
 
By the time you finish this course, you'll never look at your hands and feet in quite the same light ever again.
 
No one is arguing that stress is a problem of global proportions. You don't have to live in a big, busy city to feel the effects, either. Stress has crept into just about every city and town across the planet.
 
While no one argues over the existence of stress, there's still quite a bit of debate on the best ways to deal with the problem. However, if you're committed to natural, drug-free therapies that address you as an entire person, and not just the malady you're suffering from, then reflexology is a solution you should take time to explore further.
 
Across five in-depth, self-contained lessons, you'll be armed with everything you'll need in order to meet the class's primary objectives:
 
  • You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of what reflexology is – the history, what a session entails, common methods and practice guidelines
  • You'll become familiar with the specific regions of both the hands and feet that anyone studying reflexology should be comfortable with
  • You'll get acquainted with some of the most popular tips and techniques for mastering Reflexology
  • You'll explore and practice the ten different treatment patters of full-foot reflexology
  • Plus you'll uncover the particulars of full-hand reflexology and an overview of the major body systems and common disorders that plague them, as well as how reflexology can help you manage those problems
While you will gain a deeper understanding of reflexology and how to utilize it in your life, it's important to understand that this course is for general purposes only. This is not a substitute for medical advice or training. Reflexology is an alternative therapy, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent diseases or symptoms. As such, it's always recommended that you consult with your physician if you have any questions or concerns (ask specifically about contra-indications).
 
What you WILL have is a powerful, practical tool to remove stress and improve your relaxation. In light of your need to de-stress, this course is entirely self-paced and self-contained. You can read over the materials (all are provided, there's nothing else to buy) and complete your assignments whenever your schedule will allow.
 
If you come across any questions or encounter anything confusing, you can contact the instructor directly via the Class Email Form for one-on-one assistance and explanation.
 
Every lesson will incorporate both a written and practice assignment in addition to a brief 25 point quiz. In order to successfully complete the course, you'll need an overall score of 70% or better.
 
In the end, you'll have a powerful weapon to eradicate stress and anxiety and live a more tranquil, satisfying life.
 
There are no waiting lists or set start dates. Enrollment is always open, so head over and register today. Successful stress management is completely in your hands...and feet!
