Welcome to the World of Reflexology!

Reflexology is a deeply healing form of bodywork. Its effects on practitioner

and client alike are very powerful and far-reaching. Facilitating a sense of

deep connection and harmony within the recipient, this ancient art helps

individuals become more internally integrated and balanced, enhancing both

inner peace and healing potential.

Therapeutic reflexology provides a means to achieve vibrant health, increase

energy, reduce pain and live a more dynamic and authentic life. The balance

achieved in each person translates vitality and health

to the entire community.

As Americans become more educated about reflexology, we are choosing

more frequently to include a reflexologist in our personal team of healthcare

specialists. Reflexology is one of the fastest growing complementary health

care modalities in America, facilitating an atmosphere in which individuals

can choose from among a set of highly skilled practitioners and reflexologists

can have a full, viable practice and a stimulating, rewarding career.

Increased public knowledge and experience of reflexology has brought

greater demand for high quality work. At SRMC, we aim to provide superior

quality reflexology to individuals seeking care as well as exceptional

reflexology training to those wishing to become reflexologists, refine their

current reflexology techniques or explore a new direction of bodywork.

The carefully designed diversity of our reflexology program trains students so

that they can provide effective and unique sessions that their clients treasure.

Offering four Diploma levels, our program accommodates students’ different

educational needs and experience.

We place great value on diverse, high-caliber educational offerings and invite

cutting-edge instructors and leaders from around the world every year. This

year we welcome the following guest presenters:

Maryejo del Meijer (CA), Sharon Stathis (Australia), Dr. Ray McClanahan

(OR), Dorthe Krogsgaard & Peter Lund Frandsen (Denmark) and Griet

Rondel (Belgium).

If you would like to take a class, please refer to the “Class Registration” in

the Table of Contents for instructions. To experience a professional

reflexology session call 206-284-8389 to set up an appointment.

Thank you. We hope to see you soon!

General Information

About the Center

Seattle Reflexology & Massage Center (SRMC) was established in

1992, at a time when reflexology was almost unheard of in the

Northwest. SRMC founders pioneered the effort to educate

practitioners and the public about reflexology and its benefits, and

have had a far-reaching impact on the field.

As the demand for professional reflexologists has grown, SRMC has

developed a thorough and dynamic educational program. We are a

licensed school through Workforce Training Board of Washington

State. We have taught reflexology techniques to thousands of students

through the years, enabling them to help themselves and many

others. Our dedication has helped us become a leader in reflexology

education in the United States.

SRMC has a reflexology program of exceptional quality—one of the

most extensive in the Western United States. We prepare students

aspiring to meet the highest national standard and become Nationally

Certified by the American Reflexology Certification Board (ARCB)

and provide Nationally Certified practitioners with classes qualifying

for ARCB Continuing Education requirements. SRMC is approved as a

provider of continuing education by the American Reflexology

Certification Board (ARCB Provider # P00119) and PDA Provider for

National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental

Medicine (NCCAOM PDA Provider # 167998).

Lisa Hensell is Director of Education and owner of Seattle Reflexology

& Massage Center. She is highly committed to offering a solid,

intelligent foundation of education to reflexologists from the

northwest and beyond. She participates in local, national and

international reflexology communities in order to keep herself up to

date with the most current information in the field and invites

premier instructors from around the world to teach advanced,

specialized, and cutting-edge reflexology classes in Seattle.

In 1992 SRMC started out in a charming 1912 historical building in the

lower Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle. As of May, 2019 we are

happily located in Fremont. Reflexologists are available for

appointments Monday—Saturday.

Reflexology Certification Program

Whether your intention is to practice on friends and family, add to

your massage repertoire or build a professional reflexology practice,

your participation in our diverse array of classes will set you apart

from the average reflexologist.

Our classes may be taken independently or as a part of our

Reflexology Certification Program, designed to train reflexologists

for professional practice and prepare them to take the written exam

for Washington state reflexology certification. Reflexologists

currently in practice will enjoy our continuing education courses,

taught by leading experts in the field.

Levels of Reflexology Diplomas SRMC offers four levels of Reflexology Diplomas.

Professional Level I is designed for individuals who have not had

training in human anatomy and physiology in the past 10 years or

since high school. This level often includes those pursuing a career

change. It consists of 250 hours of education (180 classroom hours,

70 practice hours) and qualifies students to pursue certification as a

reflexologist by Washington State Department of Health and

national certification by American Reflexology Certification Board.

reflexologist by Washington State Department of Health. Advanced

Level I provides a more thorough and broad-based level of training

national standard of reflexology education (300 hours), required

ment of Health if you seek Reflexology Certification in Washington

December Nerve Reflexology Training, Level I (of II): How Nerves, Muscles and

Organs Contribute to Lumbar and Pelvic Pain Chronic pain in the

lumbar and pelvic regions remains one of the great challenges of our

time. In this workshop Griet Rondel (Belgium) will offer a unique

approach to this issue, both in theory and in technique. Given that the

abdominal-pelvic region contains a network of nerves, muscle, and

organs, it is critical to consider the entire region and help bring balance

to these individual components when approaching pain in this area.

Abdominal and pelvic organs utilize a sequence of muscles, primarily

comprised of the psoas-quadratus-iliacus-piriformis and pelvic floor

muscles, for basic support and attachment. The region as a whole is

controlled by a chain of nerves that links all the structures. By the end of

class you will have a keen understanding of how to affect these areas

through nerve reflexology. In this four-day workshop, Griet will share

her immense knowledge and insights about the human body and its

form and function, pairing this information with practical techniques.

She will teach you how to access very fine-tuned reflexology points to

maximize effects. In order to have sufficient knowledge of the nervous

system, participants are invited to study the pre-course syllabus “The

Human Nervous System” (after enrolling in this class, participants will

receive an email from MNT-NR International with a login and a

password, giving access to the download page for this pre-

course syllabus). An extensive handout and a copy of the Powerpoint

presentation will be included in this workshop. Read more about Griet

and her professional work at MNT-NR International. Sat—Tues 9 am—

This course is suitable for:

Foot reflexologists working on a professional level

Nurses who are interested in pain control

Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and Chiropractors

Students of the Level I Program are seeking a strong foundation of

professional training when transitioning into a new career. Level II

students are often looking for a shift of focus in their current career

or to enhance their current body-centered practice.

Class Size and Format

SRMC classes are generally offered on evenings and weekends. Most

of our students are full-time working professionals and take our

program at a rate of 1-2 classes per month. The Reflexology

Certification Program is designed to be flexible and accommodate

the needs of working adults.

In order to allow for individual attention we limit the size of most

classes to 12-14 students. Larger or more complex classes include an

assistant or additional instructor. About 75% of each reflexology

skills class is hands-on, using massage tables and chairs supplied by

SRMC. This enables students to practice techniques learned during

class with instructor supervision and assistance.

We request that you bring a bath towel, fingernail clippers and a pen

or pencil and paper to most classes. Please keep fingernails and

toenails trimmed and filed. Booklets are provided in class. A

textbook is required for Anatomy & Physiology, but otherwise none

are required.

Class participation and the practice of techniques outside of class are

the best means to master the material presented. You will be

required to practice and document 70-90 hours outside of class,

depending on your level in the Program. Documented sessions are

reviewed by SRMC and graded pass/fail in writing with feedback,

and may be revised by the student until a passing score is achieved.

Two hands-on tutorials on SRMC staff are verbally graded pass/fail

and must be repeated at the student’s expense if failed.

Cost and Length of the Reflexology Education Program

The total cost and length of the program will vary depending on

whether you are in Professional or Advanced Level I or II and your

choice of electives. Program length will depend on the timing of the

classes you choose.

Energy Anatomy with Peter Lund Frandsen of Touchpoint (Denmark)

Modern science calls energy systems and their treatment “the missing

link” in health care. Energy anatomy is an indispensable basis for all

therapists, regardless of tradition and values. It is the key in naturally

connecting method, conscious intent and client experience. It is the

foundation for our understanding of biology, life, health and disease,

and it is shifting rapidly in recent years. This class will give you insight

into how consciousness, energy and modern physics is becoming a part

of modern therapies and research, and will bring you a deeper

understanding of nature’s mysteries and a fresh outlook on life’s greatest

questions. This one-day course is designed for all types of therapists

interested in the topics of energy, biology and consciousness and is

intended to offer new inspiration, opportunities and a deeper insight

into how your techniques work. Peter Lund Frandsen has followed the

development of energy medicine for almost 40 years and conveys this

knowledge with seriousness, humor and lots of practical examples and

experiments. “The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is

to venture a little way past them into the impossible.” – Arthur C.

Clarke. More information is available here or at touchpoint.dk. Sat 9

Frontier Biology: WATER with Peter Lund Frandsen of Touchpoint

(Denmark) Is water more important than cells and tissues in the body?

Peter Lund Frandsen is back with this NEW lecture. This time we are

exploring ideas and the latest knowledge about water, the human body,

biology and consciousness. If you could sort all the molecules in your

body and divide them into two piles, one with biological molecules and

another with water molecules, you would only find one single “real

biology molecule” for every time you put 99 molecules in the water pile.

All this water is not floating around like a large inner sea. It is organized

and structured in complicated ways. The water is just as organized as your

anatomy. All of this is inextricably linked to philosophy, the physics of

how matter arises and is formed, sound patterns, coherence, cosmology,

technologies, health, consciousness science and energy medicine… Despite

the enormous scope and multiple facets of the subjects, Peter will present

a rounded evening about the understanding of water’s properties and the

many possibilities they offer. Read more at touchpoint.dk. Wed 6—9 pm

Dorthe Krogsgaard and Peter Lund Frandsen of Touchpoint (Denmark)

present Round About: Fertility In Denmark reflexology is the mostly

used alternative treatment form, with one in four having consulted a

reflexologist. In Danish fertility clinics 75 percent of the patients also have

contacts with the complementary field, the majority of whom choose

reflexology. Therefore a lot of know-how on treating infertility exists

among Danish reflexologists. Every sixth couple experience problems

reproducing themselves. In only 35 percent of all infertility cases,

conventional medicine is able to identify the underlying cause. In the

remaining 65 percent the medical system can not find an explanation for

the lacking fertility. Especially within this group, reflexologists are often

able to help. Giving both the male and the female body the best possible

condition for conceiving a new human being is a great task. It is therefore

important to know about the most common causes of infertility, like: The

condition of mucous membranes, quality of semen, nutritional status, low

metabolism, stress, the iliopsoas and other pelvic muscles, hidden

infections, the spine and of course the hormonal system and reproductive

organs. Our aim is to present the newest knowledge within

complementary as well as conventional fertility treatments. In the

workshop you will learn techniques from Classical Reflexology, Nordic

If you do not already own a massage table, we recommend that

you invest in one. Prices range from $100-$2000. Used tables are

frequently offered for sale on local massage school bulletin boards

or online. An ideal table is light, portable and equipped with re-

cessed legs (sometimes called a “reiki table”).

We strongly recommend purchasing Student Liability Insurance.

ABMP offers this for $15/year while you are a student.

Sequence of Classes

It is best to complete the Introductory Reflexology class first.

Begin practicing right away, documenting and submitting 10 prac-

tice hours as soon as possible to integrate what you have learned

in class. Anatomy and Physiology I & II are the next core classes

(Level I students only), followed by Structural Analysis, Funda-

mentals of Addressing Foot Pain, and Advanced Reflexology,

Parts I & II. Documentation Part I and Supervised Practice Clinic

should be taken early in the training. Schedule your first tutorial

after at least 20 hours of practice. Take Documentation Part II,

the second Supervised Practice Clinic, and Business & Ethics classes

and schedule your second tutorial toward the end. Electives may

be taken in any order except where additional prerequisites have

been noted (see Course Descriptions for prerequisites).

Achieving Natural Foot Health + Certification through Natural Foot

Health Institute Dr. Ray McClanahan is a podiatrist from Portland

who really knows a lot about how to help his clients find the root

cause of their foot travails in order to avoid surgery and orthotics. His

class in 2018 was a hit – we had more students in that class than any

other class at SRMC! This year will be a two-part class including

certification for those attending day two. Over the course of the

weekend Dr. Ray will educate attendees on basic foot anatomy and

explain a natural foot health approach that focuses on building foot

strength, restoring alignment, and maintaining optimal foot function.

The material will include the background of footwear and how it

pertains to foot health, as well as reviewing some of the common foot

ailments, including prevention and treatments. The certification

component will be a deeper dive into the approach of treatment and

diagnosis; participants will be asked to show practical demonstration

of knowledge learned during the second day of the course. Attendees

will walk away from the weekend course as “certified in natural foot

health” (by and for Natural Foot Health Institute, Dr. Ray’s

educational program). Providers and wholesale partners who are

The Ayurvedic Reflexology techniques are described as “kinder to the

(practitioner’s) hands”. Sharon’s workshops are practical (hands-on) in

their orientation. They introduce exciting new ways to work the feet

and hands. Comprehensive course notes are provided in the form of a

course manual. Reflexology knowledge is NOT a prerequisite for at-

tendance, though some bodywork experience is preferred, along with

an understanding of the basic Reflexology Fundamentals. For body-

workers without this knowledge, a short excerpt from the SMART™ 1

manual provides the required information. Sharon Stathis (coming to us

all the way from Brisbane, Australia!) will instruct two classes while

she is in Seattle: SMART™ 1 and SMART™ 2, which will be held over

the course of three days (SMART stands for the Stathis Method of

Ayurvedic Reflexology Therapy). Visit ayurvedicreflexology for more

Metamorphosis Metamorphosis is a gentle, powerful healing modality

that overlaps perfectly with reflexology. Utilizing the spinal reflexes on

maps of the feet, hands and head, Metamorphosis helps practitioners

find and release tension patterns in the body, mind and spirit of our

clients that were introduced and embedded during their time in the

womb. The spine holds the primary patterns that were formed in our

prenatal time. By bringing prenatal imprints into focus the practitioner

can assist the client in releasing blocks that are present in their life. In

this way people can release the past and come into their full self ex-

pression. The work is powerful in that it addresses the root of our

problems and assists us in becoming free of limitations connecting us to

our true selves. Instructor Maryejo delMeijer will offer individual ses-

Ayurvedic Reflexology is the dynamic integration of traditional Ayur-

vedic hand and foot techniques with contemporary reflexology. The

philosophy of Ayurveda states that there is no separation between the

physical body and the mind. Ayurveda has a spiritual basis, and en-

courages individuals to embrace healthy spiritual practices. Massage of

the feet and hands has a special place within Ayurvedic tradition. Ayur-

vedic Reflexology is dynamic, easy to apply and can be easily integrat-

ed into existing bodywork practices. The direction of energy (prana)

flow within the body is respected and followed during the application

of Ayurvedic Reflexology. Attendees of this class learn to identify and

work vital energy centers known as Marmas. Some of the most im-

portant marmas used for healing purposes occur in the limbs. The tra-

ditional metal kasa bowl adds a new dimension to the procedure.
