 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 Massage 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 50 students with only 2 students failing the written exam for the first time and only one student failing on the second attempt.
So The Academy has a 98% pass rate.
I am a:
Qualified Registered Nurse of 26 years (retired).
Qualified Reflexologist for 17 years.
Qualified teacher of 10 years
Qualified First Aider being a member of St John Ambulance for 28 years
and holds a D32/33 training and assessors award.
Qualified in Holistic Massage 10years ago.
The Academy is private school accredited by The Association of Reflexologists(AoR) and the International Therapy Examination Council (ITEC)
The Academy is situated in the idyllic surroundings of the Crossroads Oasis Complementary Centre near the little village of Holcot, Near Northampton which is easily accessable from London,Birmingham,Coventry,Bedfordshire,Buckinghamshire,Oxfordshire,
Cambridgeshire,and surrounding area of Northamptonshire.
Full courses in Reflexology start twice a year in February and September; they run for one full weekend a month for 10 months; ending with written and practical exams. All courses include Anatomy and Physiology and Business Awareness.
Bridging courses in reflexology start July and February and run for 5 months culminating again with written and practical exams. Bridging courses are for students who have already taken a course in Reflexology and would like to convert to AoR status.
Places on the courses are limited to 10 students so early application is recommended.
All students are expected to wear a uniform to give a professional appearance.
This consists of a white short sleeved top, navy or black trousers or skirt, black or navy closed toes shoes. If wearing a skirt tights must be worn.
At the end of the course you will have acheived an ABC level 3 diploma in Reflexology or an ITEC level 3 diploma in Holistic Massage.
