What you'll be training in.
For a deeper introduction to Reflexology as a practice tradition, see the full program page.
Reflexology is a structured hands-on practice that works through specific points on the feet, hands, and ears that are mapped to correspond to organs, glands, and systems throughout the body. The reflexologist applies precise pressure with thumbs and fingers — a technique called thumb-walking and finger-walking — to those reflex points, working through a systematic protocol that covers the full body via the feet, hands, or ears.
A typical foot reflexology session lasts 60 minutes. The client lies clothed on a massage table with feet elevated and accessible. The practitioner spends a few minutes with intake conversation, then settles into a slow, deliberate working of the feet — typically forty-five minutes of actual reflexology bracketed by intake and integration. Hand and ear reflexology sessions are commonly 30 to 45 minutes and are particularly useful for clients with foot contraindications.
The Reflexology curriculum in Portland: 9 in-person days.
Nine days from your first thumb-walk to a full hour clients look forward to.
