Welcome Foot Care Nurses
A number of foot care nurses have attended our courses in the past. This is not at all surprising as foot reflexology is a natural extension of your foot care services.
The ability of foot reflexology to naturally support the body to move toward healthier functioning by alleviating stress and tension makes it a naturally attractive addition to your medical services.
Most people enjoy relaxing attention to their feet, so foot reflexology can provide this pleasure to them.
REFLEXOLOGY TRAINING
FOR FOOT CARE NURSES
Expand your foot-care practice with professional reflexology training.
As a Foot Care Nurse, you already have extensive knowledge and practical experience working with the feet. Reflexology offers you an opportunity to build on that foundation by adding a complementary approach to your existing skills and services.
Our accredited reflexology training courses have been designed to allow experienced health-care practitioners to develop professional reflexology skills one course at a time, according to their own interests, priorities, and schedule.
You do not have to commit to an entire program at the outset. You simply pay for each course as you attend it.
Begin with Foot Reflexology
For Foot Care Nurses, the natural starting point is our Basic Holistic Foot Reflexology Course.
This focused, hands-on course introduces the principles and teaches you the techniques of foot reflexology. It provides the foundation for incorporating reflexology into your professional skill set.
The course consists of:
One weekend of in-person training
A documented practicum
An anatomy and physiology home-study assignment
Successful completion provides you with a certificate validating your reflexology training.
CONTINUE YOUR PROFESSIONAL TRAINING
Once you have completed the Basic Foot Reflexology Course, you can choose how far you wish to take your reflexology training.
Our online Advanced Reflexology: Clinical Skills Course provides further techniques and strategies for working with the feet or hands.
You may also be interested in Fostering Connection: Creating a Safe Healing Space, an online experiential course exploring the practitioner-client relationship, communication, active listening, empathy, self-awareness, and creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment.
Although developed specifically for reflexology practitioners, this course is equally relevant to health-care practitioners working in other modalities.

A natural extension of your existing skills
Your training and experience as a Foot Care Nurse already provide you with a strong foundation for working professionally with clients' feet. Reflexology can add another dimension to that practice, giving you a different way of working with the whole person through the feet.
You could integrate reflexology into your foot care service and/or offer foot reflexology as a stand-alone service. Your choice.
