Cutting-Edge Reflexology Training with Linda Frank, RF, LMT, NBCR, NCREd
No cookie cutter classes! I bring to my classes the most recent developments in healthcare and reflexology. Before having my own reflexology school, I previously created, directed and taught the Reflexology Certification at The Northwest Academy for the Healing Arts in Tacoma. Prior to that, I was the lead instructor for the Reflexology Certification Program and other reflexology classes at Bellevue Massage School (BMS). I also taught an introductory reflexology class to Acupuncture, Naturopathy and Herbal Medicine students at the acclaimed Bastyr University.
I am Certified by the National Council for Reflexology Educators (NCREd), the only one teaching in WA.
I am a Board Director for the Reflexology Association of America (RAA). For more about my background and the many reflexology courses I've taken, visit https://reflexologyforbetterhealth.com/about-linda

First-Rate Course Offerings
My reflexology school embodies a unique learning environment that will prepare you to take the Washington State exam that enables you to become a professional Certified Reflexologist. My reflexology classes incorporate traditional learning styles, some online instruction, and lots of hands-on experience both giving and receiving. I add to the traditional curriculum some learnings that I've acquired over many years of studies in e.g. yoga; Jin Shin Do Bodymind Acupressure; Traditional Chinese Medicine & Five Element Theory; Hawaiian Huna; and NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP). You can read more about my background on my Reflexology For Better Health website.
I also teach CE classes for LMT's, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.. I occasionally teach a one-day class for the general public as well. And I host guest educators for both reflexologists and LMT's.
