reflexology certification program details

    Program classes for locals are held at my convenient Tacoma location on alternating weekends and typically runs for five months.  Saturday classes are via Zoom and Sunday classes are hands-on in the classroom.  View or download the full reflexology certification program catalog below. 

    Distance learners will take alternating Sat Zoom classes & come for 3-day in-person hands on.

If you live too far to join a distance cohort, you may be able to complete all the requirements to become Nationally  Board Certified (ARCB) by taking all of these online classes -- and doing your hands-on training with a clinical instructor in your area. See the "Out of State" tab here or above for more information.

The 240-hour Reflexology Certification Program is registered for 240 hours, which is 40 above what WA state requires.  It is the most robust in the Pacific Northwest in terms of actual hands-on hours, providing 60 hands--on, in-person classroom hours and 78 hours of in-person onlnie classes to satisfy the Anatomy & Physiology, Business & Ethics, Theory, Body Systems etc. requirements. The rest of the hours are comprised of independent study, practice sessions, and a research project that most students report to have found an exhilarating.
