FR210PCC-03 Professional Foot Reflexologist Certification Course - New Course Begins Today
Approved by the
Reflexology Association of Canada

Facilitator: Dr. Sheryl Beller-Kenner, Naturotherapist, Certified Reflexologist & Instructor
Description:

Reflexology is a natural healing technique based on the principle that there are points (reflexes) in the hands and feet that correspond to all parts, glands, and organs of the body; by palpating these points, we can assist the body directly in balancing itself, immediately reducing stress and increasing circulation; indirectly, as we support the body's natural ability to heal itself, all of the body systems are affected in a positive way. By learning about foot reflexology, you can learn to take care of your feet and the rest of your body at the same time.

Reflexology is a very effective therapy that is becoming recognized as an important modality of Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM). In fact, according to the World Health Organization, 24% of Canadians visited CAM practitioners in 1999; of those, 2% visited reflexologists, an increase of 100% over the previous 5 years.

Join us -- in small classes -- to learn how to use foot reflexology as a health care practice.  Prepare yourself to treat family and friends as well as to become a certified practitioner who can work in your own practice, as part of a CAM group, or for a spa.  You will learn the theory upon which reflexology is based, and you will become familiar with both a basic foot routine and various  supporting routines that will relieve various health imbalances.  On-line learning activities will help you study, alone or with others, and will prepare you for the final exams.  Through guided case studies, you will get sufficient practice to become comfortable enough to work on new clients of your own.

Successful completion of this course will give you a basic working knowledge of the safe use of reflexology as a professional practice or as an add-on in a related discipline such as nursing or massage therapy. In addition, you will become eligible to apply for membership in the Reflexology Association of Canada or a similar organization in your province as a Professional Member.

AR210PCC-04 Professional Aromatherapist Certification Course - New Course Begins Today

Approved by the
Canadian Federation of Aromatherapists

Facilitator: Dr. Sheryl Beller-Kenner, Naturotherapist, Certified Aromatherapist & Instructor
Description:

Aromatherapy is a natural technique designed to assist the body's natural ability to balance and maintain itself through the skilled use of essential oils. It is both an art and a science based on the interaction between the aromatherapist, the client and the essential oils, which all work together to elicit the client's innate, self-healing energy. Aromatherapy may be used as a preventative approach or as a support during various stages of illness or 'dis'-ease. As a holistic modality, aromatherapy is able to work on several levels -- physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual -- to effect over-all health, well-being, beauty and vitality.

Essential oils are the volatile (quickly-evaporating) essences produced by aromatic plants through the process of photosynthesis. The constituents of a plant's oil (its essence) may be extracted from its flowers, leaves, grasses, bark, peels, roots, seeds, and/or resins, and some plants can produce more than one essential oil, depending on the part used.  Essential oils contain a tremendous amount of a plant's energy, and only a small quantity is needed for significant effects. Individual oils or specially-prepared blends can be used for health-giving, meditative, restorative or relaxing purposes. By assisting the body directly in balancing itself and immediately reducing the stress that causes more than 75% of all illnesses; all of the body systems are affected in a positive way. By learning about aromatherapy, you can learn to take care of yourself, your friends and family, and paying clients in a practice of your own, as part of a CAM group, or for a spa.

Join us – on-line and in small classes to explore the “scent-sational” world of aromatherapy as a health care practice!  Get answers to the following questions – and more: What is aromatherapy? How does it work? What are its benefits? What exactly are essential oils, hydrosols, and carrier oils, how are they made, and how do we use them? You will learn the theory and its practical applications, holistic anatomy & physiology & pathology, and you will learn how to give a wonderfully relaxing, aromatic aromassage.  On-line learning activities,  will help you study, alone or with others, and will prepare you for the final exams. Class meetings will be hands-on and sharing of projects, such as: identifying oils by smell; making individualized blends: preparing & sharing health care products such as creams, lotions, etc.; preparing items that will help you expand your business; and learning and exchanging Aromassage techniques.

PS107-01 Deep River Within 1
New Course Begins Today

Facilitator: Libby Parker, Psychosynthesis Wellness Therapist
Description:

The Deep River Within is a six week course based on the book by Abby Seixas, Finding the Deep River Within: A Woman’s Guide to Recovering Balance and Meaning in Everyday Life. Abby has created a beautiful and deeply enriching guide to help us find and reclaim our deep river within. Finding time to slow down and get in touch with ourselves often becomes yet another burden and item on our to-do list - probably the one item which, left undone, most makes us feel that we continue to fail ourselves because we just don’t have time to really be ourselves and create the life we yearn for.

In the course, we explore these very issues and learn how to address them.

As Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author of Kitchen Table Wisdom writes:“In this beautifully written and profound book, Abby Seixas shows us step-by-step how to save our own lives. Her wise and simple suggestions and exercises will rekindle the power within you and free you to live your best life.”

“When you do something from your soul,
You feel a river moving in you,
A joy…”- Rumi
