Study with the Auckland School of Reflexology 👩🏼‍🏫

Become a Qualified Reflexology Practitioner - learning to work on the reflex points on the Feet, Hands and Ears. ✋👣👂

Including study of the Anatomy & Physiology of the human body.

Rapidly growing in popularity, Reflexology is a natural and holistic therapy that offers the person and their body the environment in which to enter a deeply relaxed state. This state offering the potential to shift the central nervous system from ‘fight & flight’ to ‘rest & digest’. It is in this rest realm that the body has the capacity to tap in to its innate healing abilities.

Reflexology is supportive of many of the bodies functions, and symptoms.

Foot and Hand Reflexology are further, supportive of the functioning and mechanism of these hard working areas of our body.

Ear Reflexology is known to be immensely supportive in helping to support the body with some of the many troublesome symptoms that stress, and various conditions may create. Its use is particularly widely documented and reported during pain management.

If this sounds intriguing, and you’d like to know more, please contact me to request a Prospectus for study in 2026.

Look at my colourful new teaching tool for Reflexology and Indian Head Massage.💀

A model showing each section of the human cranium clearly demarcated through the bright colours. 💙💜💚💛❤️

These cranial bones are bound together by strong, fibrous connective tissue called sutures.

In Reflexology these cranial suture points are located across the toes. By working the toes, a reflexologist can access these areas. This may help release tension held in the head, and support the promotion of overall nervous system balance.

During Indian Head Massage, the gentle massage of the head offers numerous benefits for the cranium, including increased blood flow, reduced muscle tension, and improved scalp and hair health through increased blood flow to the follicles.

My husband says the model looks creepy. 😆 He might be right, but I can’t wait to use it in class. 👩🏼‍🏫

I thought you may all be interested in seeing a tiny portion of a short ear massage.

So I caught one of my students in action today. 😉

Facebook memories reminded me of this conversation with someone last year, about the possibilities and potential of reflexology to assist her with a number of issues.

I did my usual blurb, “Reflexology does not treat etc etc. It provides an environment in which the body can tap into its own healing potential.”

Her response to this was, “That does appear rather vague.” 🤨

I smiled and agreed, but pointed out that I wasn’t being vague about what reflexology can do, I was being vague about what her body will do. I was leaving room for a myriad of possibilities following her session.

It is my belief that there is a vagueness to every health and wellness modality. Even the most prescriptive and seemingly predictable of treatments cannot be 100% sure of the outcome for each individual person.

With reflexology the scales are definitely tipped towards even more vagueness, that’s for sure. 😆

I love working within one of the modalities that offers the most vagueness …. and possibilities!

𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒈𝒆 is a popular addition to many reflexologists practice, and forms a significant part of my business and teaching too. 💆🏽‍♀️💆🏻‍♂️

As its name implies, Indian Head Massage has been developed from the traditional massage practices of India, and was developed by an Indian gentleman called Narendra Mehta. It’s official name is Indian Champissage.

Indian Head Massage is performed on the upper arms, upper back, shoulders, neck, head, face and ears.

The primary aim of an Indian Head Massage treatment is relaxation. Indian Head Massage is applied fully clothed, however you may be required to remove any outer jackets to allow for a smoother massage. The treatment is performed seated in a normal chair, and no oils, balms or creams are used, and no other equipment is needed.

Indian Head Massage is non invasive and the entire process is gentle. Despite being gentle it is a powerful therapy that may be enjoyed as a stand alone session, or in conjunction with a reflexology treatment.

𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒈𝒆 - 15 & 16 November

Look what my diploma students did today … 👂✋

x Karen x

This week I have some of my Diploma in Reflexology students at the school. Those doing their training on the Block Course.

Having learnt to work on the feet, hands, and ears offers a great variety of options in their work.

Today the students used a combination of ears and hands.

Their practical work involved a one hour reflexology session made up of 15 min ears followed by 45 min hands. 👂✋

They loved giving and receiving this combination, with some great feedback on how they each felt following their session.

The 15 min ear massage was focused on inducing relaxation and releasing tension in the musculoskeletal system.

The 45 minutes spent on the hands was a gentle journey around all the reflexes of the body, and its systems.

So nurturing and blissful!
