No experience or knowledge is required in order to attend the Reflexology course and it is an excellent foundation course upon which you can add many, many postgraduate qualifications – such as Indian Head Massage, Holistic Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Ear Candling, Maternity Reflexology, Fertility Reflexology, Reflexology for children – and endless more possibilities for offering treatments as a holistic therapist.
Our Reflexology course at Green Tara College is unique in our true holistic approach. It includes personal development and awareness and you will come away understanding people and how to help them in a personal way that is streamlined to each client you will have. If you do not have this aspect, people find working professionally in the field of holistic health otherwise a major challenge.
We have a video of the practical Reflexology which you will have online access to in order to assist you in your studies
Mature students are very welcome

- With our qualification you are eligible to gain insurance to practice and to join professional associations and thus your clients can claim back from VHI & Viva’s health insurance.
- We care about you as an individual and help you in your journey.
