Bring the Feet to Life: Integrative Reflexology

with Claire Miller, LMBT

August 7-9 | Thursday-Friday, 9:30am-5:30pm; Saturday, 9:30am-4:30pm
20 contact hours | $395 | Open to the public

Reflexology is a time-honored healing art for restoring and maintaining health through the massage of specific points on the feet, hands and ears which have far-reaching effects on the whole body.  This therapeutic method is a wonderful addition to any professional massage practice -- or it may become a complete practice on it’s own.

Bring the Feet to Life was designed by Claire to introduce both conceptually and in practice, her 4-Theory integrated approach to reflexology. This approach which teaches "the parts that make a whole," helps reflexology make sense. The workshop creatively weaves together:

• Theories of structural integration through foot alignment
• Meridians as precursors to modern foot reflexology
• Zones as a grid application to finding the reflex point and areas
• Proprioceptors, the messengers to the nervous systems and the organs
• Techniques that are easy on the thumbs

Claire's approach to reflexology is innovative and her classes incorporate both her knowledge and humor.

In this three-day workshop, you will learn:

• How to give and receive a full foot reflexology massage
  
• Anatomy, muscles & actions of the feet
  
• History and theory of reflexology
  
• Proper standing and alignment
  
• Hand and ear reflexology
  
• Do-In self-massage
  
• Cautions and contraindications
  
• Working with the Elderly

The workshop fee includes a complete training manual and extensive handouts. Participants who want to receive certification from Claire Miller are required to complete a take-home written exam and document at least ten reflexology practice sessions. There will be a $50 additional certification fee, paid directly to Claire.

NOTE: While this workshop is open to the public, it is not intended to prepare those without a state-issued occupational license for the professional practice of reflexology.
