Take your reflexology practice to the next level!
As a professional reflexologist, you've honed your reflexology and business skills.
But have you developed the third essential skill set for the success of your practice — the skill of “therapeutic communication” that supports your clients’ healing journey by supporting them to identify and resolve the source of their stress and health challenges?
Without this skill set, even the best intentions can inadvertently hinder progress for your clients - and hence, your practice.
For example, if you propose what you believe is an excellent solution to a clients problem - that does not resonate with the client. The client may not feel comfortable to express their disagreement, but, will feel not heard and understood and consequently, close down or simply choose to not return.
This course focuses on training you with the tools to create a safe and healing environment for your clients in which they feel appreciated, respected and understood -thereby become loyal clients who refer others to you. In addition, for those clients who are receptive, your therapeutic communication skill can support them to discover the source of their stress or health challenges . . . and move to resolve them.
Through a combination of energy management, active listening, and holistic principles, you’ll enhance your ability to support clients effectively and elevate your practice.
