“Reflexology is a form of touch therapy that stimulates predefined pressure points on the feet and hands to promote optimal health” said Paula Curtiss, Founding Director for Healing Hands School of Holistic Health (HHSHH). “The 32-hour Reflexology course we offer has been taught by Denise Fultz for over 6 years. In the course, Denise combines lecture, demonstration and hands-on practice to educate students about “reflex zones” and “reflex points” used in Reflexology treatments. Now, thanks to the combined effort of Denise and co-faculty member Raina Colvin, our students have an accurate, easy to use Reflexology Chart they can purchase and use for quick-reference”, she added
Denise and Raina collaborated for two years to develop the images and lay-out in the chart and poster. Unique qualities of this Reflexology chart include the underlay of bones in the foot and the orientation of the hands, which appear as they would when giving a treatment. It is also designed to sit up-right for better viewing while practicing Reflexology, making it an excellent educational guide for beginners and advanced Reflexologist alike.
Learning how to manipulate the “reflex points” that relate to organs, glands and other systems of the body isn’t the difficult part for students” commented Denise. “It’s remembering the exact location that has been the challenge, and the reason we created the chart. Our successful sales of these Reflexology Charts at HHSHH bookstores has prompted us to make them available to massage students everywhere. Accordingly, Raina and I will be selling individual charts online at my website: www.InnerWellness.org, To purchase multiple copies please email your request to: denisehhp@cox.net or call me at 760-594-2473”, she added.
