Reflexology Training in Northampton



My name is Kathleen Pitt MAR RN Cert Ed. I am the Principal of The Academy School of Reflexology and Holistic Therapies Northampton, and also the main tutor.

I became interested in reflexology when I attended a one day workshop. I was fascinated that by using a specialised massage on the feet one could learn a lot about that persons health.

I decided to train as a reflexologist and went to Aylesbury to gain my Association of Reflexologists qualification.

I then set up in practice as a reflexologists. Unfortunately I had a car accident which injured my back and brought an abrupt end to my practice.

I did not want to give up reflexology as it had become my passion so I decided that if I could not practice I could still teach it.

I took a teaching diploma and approached the AoR to be an accredited school so that the students would have an excellent qualification at the end. After meeting all the requirements for accreditation I then set up my school of reflexology training in Northampton Since starting I have trained 100 students with a 98% pass rate.

I am a:
  • Qualified Registered Nurse of 29 years (retired).
  • Qualified Reflexologist for 19 years.
  • Qualified teacher of 12years
  • Qualified First Aider being a member of St John Ambulance for 30 years
  • and holds a D32/33 training and assessors award.
  • Qualified in Holistic Massage 12 years ago.

    Places on any of the courses are limited to ten students so early application is recommended.
