continuing education & intro classes

Reflexology Academy NW (RANW) in Tacoma WA is just 18 miles from SeaTac airport; 10 minutes off the north/south I-5 highway; 1 mile off the East/West Hwy 512., and just 5 mi from the Amtrak & Sounder train stations.

It's a relatively short drive to the magnificent, glacier-laden Mt, Tahoma (otherwise known as Mt. Rainier) -- the most glaciated mountain in the continental US.. Even easy day hikes provide breath-taking views of the mountain, its waterfalls, and its wildflowers & other flora. (The Pacific Crest Trail is also nearby.) 

Kayaking is also available year-round, and skiing in Winter.

Spring through October typically brings sun and moderate temperatures.  Even in the winter our Pacific NW skies can be bright. Umbrella use is rare.

Created for LMT's by Reflexologist/LMT/Acupuncturist Christian Slot of Denmark. 

For LMT's who aren't certified reflexologists, Christian has adapted his 5-day Muscular Reflexology Technique so that LMT's can effectively work the hard-to-reach, hard-to-work muscles like the deep hip rotators via the reflex areas on clients' feet. 

This is Christian's first time teaching in the US. His classes in Europe tend to fill quickly, so best to reserve your space early.

$220 for registrations & $75 non-refundable deposits one month in advance; $250 thereafter

Maximum of 14 students.

A 4 CE credit class that actually lends itself quite well to being given online.

I presented on this subject at the RAC (Reflexology Association of Canada) Conference on May 5th and gave a 3+1/2 class post-conference workshop on the subject.

In short, I cover

the most common foot maladies and things we and our clients can do to remedy/avoid them. 

A robust resource sheet will be included for all post-conference class attendees.

For those who'd like to teach -- but not a whole Program.  Learn to teach just hands-on.

Then you can be a Hands-On Instructor to teach in your area where there's no reflexology school.  This is a brand new model of teaching called the Interstate Teaching Collaborative. Didactic coursework required for ARCB certification will be taught online along with students enrolled in a Program.  The Hands-On Instructors (YOU!) will teach just the hands-on ARCB requirements 

    As a Hands-On Instructor, you  decide your training schedule, what you’ll charge the student(s), and whether your instruction will be all ''classroom" or part or all apprenticeship where your hands-on instruction might mean students join some of your client sessions. Maybe you approach a local massage school to teach an intro class to drum up interest in Reflexology Certification! 

12 ARCB CE credits $325  

Next class TBD    9 am -2:30 pm   

$125 to register 1 mo in advance 

No anatomy & physiology required. 

This is an introduction to reflexology for the general public. 

We'll learn the basics of hand reflexology with basic techniques that anyone can apply to help bring comfort to friends & family -- and yourself. A brief intro to ear reflexology if time permits. 

What previous attendees said about a similar intro-for-non-bodyworkers class: 

"It was a lot of fun....and I learned a lot."

"Linda's teaching style was top-notch."

 "We learned enough [to] practice."

"...deep insight from a very tenured and experienced reflexologist."

"Best class I've ever taken."

Like all classes at the Academy, there's a maximum of six participants so everyone gets individual attention.
