Welcome to the World of Reflexology!
Reflexology is a deeply healing form of bodywork. Its effects on practitioner
and client alike are very powerful and far-reaching. Facilitating a sense of
deep connection and harmony within the recipient, this ancient art helps
individuals become more internally integrated and balanced, enhancing both
inner peace and healing potential.
Therapeutic reflexology provides a means to achieve vibrant health, increase
energy, reduce pain and live a more dynamic and authentic life. The balance
achieved in each person translates vitality and health
to the entire community.
As Americans become more educated about reflexology, we are choosing
more frequently to include a reflexologist in our personal team of healthcare
specialists. Reflexology is one of the fastest growing complementary health
care modalities in America, facilitating an atmosphere in which individuals
can choose from among a set of highly skilled practitioners and reflexologists
can have a full, viable practice and a stimulating, rewarding career.
Increased public knowledge and experience of reflexology has brought
greater demand for high quality work. At SRMC, we aim to provide superior
quality reflexology to individuals seeking care as well as exceptional
reflexology training to those wishing to become reflexologists, refine their
current reflexology techniques or explore a new direction of bodywork.
The carefully designed diversity of our reflexology program trains students so
that they can provide effective and unique sessions that their clients treasure.
Offering four Diploma levels, our program accommodates students’ different
educational needs and experience.
We place great value on diverse, high-caliber educational offerings and invite
cutting-edge instructors and leaders from around the world every year. This
year we welcome the following international presenters:
Dr. Jesus Manzanares (Spain), Dorthe Krogsgaard & Peter Lund Frandsen
(Denmark), Sally Kay (UK), Nico Pauly (Belgium) and Bill Flocco (US).
If you would like to take a class, please refer to the “Class Registration” in
the Table of Contents for instructions. To experience a professional
reflexology session call 206-284-8389 to set up an appointment.
Thank you. We hope to see you soon!

General Information
About the Center
Seattle Reflexology & Massage Center (SRMC) was established in
1992, at a time when reflexology was almost unheard of in the
Northwest. SRMC founders pioneered the effort to educate
practitioners and the public about reflexology and its benefits, and
have had a far-reaching impact on the field.
As the demand for professional reflexologists has grown, SRMC has
developed a thorough and dynamic educational program. We are a
licensed school through Workforce Training Board of Washington
State. We have taught reflexology techniques to thousands of students
through the years, enabling them to help themselves and many
others. Our dedication has helped us become a leader in reflexology
education in the United States.
SRMC has a reflexology program of exceptional quality—one of the
most extensive in the Western United States. We prepare students
aspiring to meet the highest national standard and become Nationally
Certified by the American Reflexology Certification Board (ARCB)
and provide Nationally Certified practitioners with classes qualifying
for ARCB Continuing Education requirements. SRMC is approved as a
provider of continuing education by the American Reflexology
Certification Board (ARCB Provider # P00119) and PDA Provider for
National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental
Medicine (NCCAOM PDA Provider # 167998).
Lisa Hensell is Director of Education and owner of Seattle Reflexology
& Massage Center. She is highly committed to offering a solid,
intelligent foundation of education to reflexologists from the
northwest and beyond. She participates in local, national and
international reflexology communities in order to keep herself up to
date with the most current information in the field and invites
premier instructors from around the world to teach advanced,
specialized, and cutting-edge reflexology classes in Seattle.
SRMC is located in a charming 1912 historical building in the lower

Reflexology Diploma Program
Whether your intention is to practice on friends, add to your
massage repertoire or build a professional reflexology practice, your
participation in our diverse array of classes will set you apart from
the average reflexologist.
Our classes may be taken independently or as a part of our
Reflexology Diploma Program, designed to train reflexologists for
professional practice. Reflexologists currently in practice will enjoy
our continuing education courses, taught by leading experts in the
field.
Levels of Reflexology Diplomas SRMC offers four levels of Reflexology Diplomas.
Professional Level I is designed for individuals who have not had
training in human anatomy and physiology in the past 10 years or
since high school. This level often includes those pursuing a career
change. It consists of 250 hours of education (180 classroom hours,
70 practice hours) and qualifies students to pursue certification as a
reflexologist by Washington State Department of Health and
national certification by American Reflexology Certification Board.
Advanced Level I is designed for individuals who have not had
training in human anatomy and physiology in the past 10 years or
since high school. This level often includes those pursuing a career
change. It consists of 300 hours of education (210 classroom hours,
90 practice hours) and qualifies students to pursue certification as a
reflexologist by Washington State Department of Health. Advanced
Level I provides a more thorough and broad-based level of training
than Professional Level I. This level is designed to meet the highest
national standard of reflexology education (300 hours), required
for participation with Reflexology Association of America (RAA).
Professional Level II is tailored for those who have taken anatomy
and physiology classes in their professional training and have
experience with documentation. Level II students include Licensed
Massage Practitioners and Acupuncturists. This level consists of
6
215 hours of education (145 classroom hours, 70 practice hours)
and is typically chosen by students wishing to expedite their qualifi-
cation for certification by Washington State Department of Health
and national certification by American Reflexology Certification
Board.
Advanced Level II is designed for those who have taken anatomy
and physiology classes in their professional training and have experi-
ence with documentation. Level II students include Licensed Mas-
sage Practitioners and Acupuncturists. This level consists of 240
hours of education (170 classroom hours, 70 practice hours) and
qualifies students to pursue certification as a reflexologist by Wash-
ington State Department of Health and national certification by
American Reflexology Certification Board. Advanced Level II is cho-
sen by students wishing for more thorough and broad-based train-
ing in the art and science of reflexology than is offered through Pro-
fessional Level II. The Advanced level is designed to meet the high-
est national standard of reflexology education (300 hours), required
for participation with Reflexology Association of America (RAA).
After successful completion of the Reflexology Diploma Program,
students are awarded with a diploma. A copy of this diploma is re-
quired by the American Reflexology Certification Board when you
test for National Certification, and may be required by the Depart-
ment of Health if you seek Reflexology Certification in Washington
State.
If you earn the Professional Diploma (Level I or II) and wish to pur-
sue the Advanced Diploma, you may apply your original hours to
the advanced degree. Once the Advanced Diploma requirements
have been met, you may return your original Professional Diploma
to our office along with a request to upgrade your Diploma. Upon
receipt of it, we will issue you the Advanced Diploma.

our reflexology community, making it, and us individually, stronger and
more vibrant.
In order to accomplish this we draw from our local community of experts,
as well as from the whole of the U.S. and beyond. We invite instructors

The Hidden Power of Reflexology for Chemical Dependency
Chemical dependency is growing in epidemic proportions across
every state of the United States of America, as well as overseas.
There is an approach that has been successfully used for several
decades, that uses reflex locations on the outer ear, to help with
chemical dependency issues. The purpose of this course is to help
practitioners learn about various types of chemical dependency and
the reflex points that have been proven to helpful when applied for
chemical dependency issues. These points can be used as a stand
alone approach or, preferably, incorporated into a comprehensive
approach to chemical dependency. By the end of the class you will
be able to discuss what chemical dependency is, list different types of
chemical dependency, describe physical, emotional, social related
issues, and describe the 30 Year History of the NADA Points for
Chemical Dependency. Most importantly, you will perform
protocols in an Integrated Ear Hand Foot Reflexology Routine for
Chemical Dependency. This class is great for both the beginning and
veteran reflexologist, massage therapists, bodyworkers, and any
natural health care practitioner. For more details visit
americanacademyofreflexology.com. Instructed by renowned
instructor, author, veteran teacher and leader in the field of
reflexology, Bill Flocco. Mon 9 am—5 pm (7 credits with SRMC,

Reflexology for the Hands In this class, Neil McNeill will help
translate the reflexology you’ve been doing on the feet into an
application on the hands. Hands are frequently more convenient to
work on than the feet—on yourself and others. With the increase in
hand-intensive activities such as gaming, computer use and texting,
hand reflexology provides a welcome respite for hand tension and

Students of the Level I Diploma Program are seeking a strong
foundation of professional training when transitioning into a new
career. Level II students are often looking for a shift of focus in their
current career or to enhance their current body-centered practice.
Class Size and Format
SRMC classes are generally offered on evenings and weekends. Most
of our students are full-time working professionals and take our
program at a rate of 1-2 classes per month. The Reflexology Diploma
Program is designed to be flexible and accommodate the needs of
working adults.
In order to allow for individual attention we limit the size of most
classes to 12-14 students. Larger or more complex classes include an
assistant or additional instructor. About 75% of each reflexology
skills class is hands-on, using massage tables and chairs supplied by
SRMC. This enables students to practice techniques learned during
class with instructor supervision and assistance.
We request that you bring a bath towel, fingernail clippers and a pen
or pencil and paper to most classes. Please keep fingernails and
toenails trimmed and filed. Booklets are provided in class. A
textbook is required for Anatomy & Physiology, but otherwise none
are required.
Class participation and the practice of techniques outside of class are
the best means to master the material presented. You will be
required to practice and document 70-90 hours outside of class,
depending on your level in the Program. Documented sessions are
reviewed by SRMC and graded pass/fail in writing with feedback,
and may be revised by the student until a passing score is achieved.
Two hands-on tutorials on SRMC staff are verbally graded pass/fail
and must be repeated at the student’s expense if failed.
Cost and Length of the Reflexology Education Program
The total cost and length of the program will vary depending on
whether you are in Professional or Advanced Level I or II and your
choice of electives. Program length will depend on the timing of the
classes you choose.

Pain Control & Stress Reduction with Foot, Hand and Ear
Reflexology is a course designed by Bill Flocco for everyone from
the layperson to the highly experienced reflexology practitioner. Bill
offers ear, hand and foot reflexology techniques to relieve common
causes of tension and stress, and indicates which microcosm – feet,
hands or ears – is most effective for each of the more than 20
ailments addressed, as well as internal and musculoskeletal parts of
the body. This independent class serves as a foundation for the more
in-depth class offered over the weekend. For more details visit
americanacademyofreflexology. Fri 6–9 pm (3 credits with SRMC,
ARCB, NCBTMB, ABMP and many states Massage/Reflexology
license) PREREQUISITES: None. Open to the public. Nov 2 $85
In Musculoskeletal Ear, Hand and Foot Reflexology you will learn
how to reflex feet, hands and ears for musculoskeletal issues from the
head to the feet and everything in between. Learn Priority
Reflexing: which microcosm is best for relieving pain for each of
twenty nine (29) parts of the body. Also discover Progression
Reflexing: what is the best way to progress through the microcosms
as you reflex for specific, maximum results. Reflexologists and other
professionals will be able to incorporate what is learned into their
reflexology and other practices for far greater results and increased
income. Most people who take this class and apply what they learn
are thrilled at the dramatic increased results they get with their
clients. Get far better results by integrating foot, hand and ear
reflexology during the same session than reflexing just feet, just
hands, or just ears. This is very much a hands-on workshop, designed
for both beginning and veteran reflexologists, massage therapists,
bodyworkers, and any natural health care practitioner. Don’t
miss internationally renowned instructor, author, veteran teacher
and leader in the field of reflexology Bill Flocco as he teaches this
class in Seattle! Visit americanacademyofreflexology for more

arousal function includes autonomic inputs in the brain and responses
over a large part of the cortical and subcortical functions. On the other
hand: the immune system plays an important role in the stress-
response as it must fight inflammation caused by the nervous and
hormonal actions. In this workshop, we will cover the compact and
necessary knowledge around the arousal system and couple it to a
practical work-out, embedded in a Manual Neurotherapy-Nerve
Reflexology (MNT-NR) concept on stress and pain. An extensive hand-
out and a copy of the powerpoint are included in this workshop. Read

If you do not already own a massage table, we recommend that
you invest in one. Prices range from $100-$2000. Used tables are
frequently offered for sale on local massage school bulletin boards
or online. An ideal table is light, portable and equipped with re-
cessed legs (sometimes called a “reiki table”).
We strongly recommend purchasing Student Liability Insurance.
ABMP offers this for $15/year while you are a student.
Sequence of Classes
It is best to complete the Introductory Reflexology class first.
Begin practicing right away, documenting and submitting 10 prac-
tice hours as soon as possible to integrate what you have learned
in class. Anatomy and Physiology I & II are the next core classes
(Level I students only), followed by Structural Analysis, Funda-
mentals of Addressing Foot Pain, and Advanced Reflexology,
Parts I & II. Documentation Part I and Supervised Practice Clinic
should be taken early in the training. Schedule your first tutorial
after at least 20 hours of practice. Take Documentation Part II,
the second Supervised Practice Clinic, and Business & Ethics classes
and schedule your second tutorial toward the end. Electives may
be taken in any order except where additional prerequisites have
been noted (see Course Descriptions for prerequisites).

The Stress-Response: A Sympathetic Nervous System, Hormonal
and Immune Challenge with Nico Pauly (Belgium) The stress-
response in humans is for a great part embedded in the “arousal”
function in the nervous system. “Arousal” stays for the grade of
conscious and non-conscious alertness in states of challenge, danger
and pain. In more “older” terms of nervous function, arousal
belongs to the structures and pathways of the “limbic
system”. While the limbic system restricts to the unconscious part
of the brain under the cortex, in today’s neurophysiology the

Round About the Arm & Hand with Dorthe Krogsgaard and Peter
Lund Frandsen of Touchpoint (Denmark) For reflexologists, the
arms and hands are of special interest. Not only do many people
suffer from problems in the arm, elbow, wrist and hands, but
being the hands-on modality that reflexology is, knowledge about
this area and self-care techniques are crucial for good therapeutic
results and a long, healthy career! Theory will be combined with
lots of practical hands-on time. An extensive fully illustrated
workbook is included with the workshop. More information is

Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD) is a cutting-edge, multi-award
winning reflexology protocol developed by Sally Kay (UK). RLD
may be used to help reduce lymphedema after treatment for
breast cancer. Clinical experience and anecdotal evidence from a
growing body of case studies suggests RLD may also be useful for
clients with many non-cancer-related autoimmune disorders such
as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, migraines, CFS/ME
(chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalopathy) and many
other inflammatory conditions. This will be an evidence-based
course in which you will learn specific reflexology techniques for
lymphatic drainage reflexively via the feet. The aim is to stimulate
the function of the lymphatic system and drain excess lymph from
reflexively damaged areas using a problem-specific RLD sequence.

Student Conduct Policies
Students are expected to act in a respectful manner toward instructors,

and on task, benefiting the entire group.
As a courtesy to all involved, we ask that cell phones are turned to
“silent” (not “vibrate”) during class and be used only on breaks. PLEASE
DO NOT TAKE CELL PHONE CALLS DURING CLASS. If you must
communicate with the outside world during class, please take your call
outside.
Students are expected to clean up after themselves and treat the physical
classroom with respect, refraining from causing destruction or damage to
the physical property. Any damage should be reported to the instructor or
staff immediately.
No photography, video recording, or voice recordings are allowed during
class without permission from both the Director and the instructor.

the entire program. Copyright infringement will prompt legal action.
Depending on the severity of a student conduct issue, the first offense will
result in a verbal warning. The second offense will result in six months of
probation and possible expulsion from class.
Continued misconduct will result in written demand for dismissal by an
instructor or staff member to both the student and the Director, and
immediate dismissal. In a more serious student conduct issue the student
may be dismissed immediately. All previously stated cancellation policies
will apply.
Readmission of a dismissed student to future classes will require a written
explanation by the student of how the situation will be rectified. A phone
or face-to-face meeting may be required with the Director. Grounds for
approval of readmission will be determined by the Director.
Nothing in our policy prevents students from contacting the Workforce
Board at 360.709.4600 at any time with a concern or complaint.

There is a grace period of 15 minutes at the beginning of class or after a
break. Students who are more than 15 minutes late will not receive credit
for that hour of instruction. Students can miss up to 2 hours or 10% of the
total class (whichever is smaller) and still be eligible to receive a “passing”
score for class. The total number of credits to complete the program must
still be earned.
If greater than 10% of the class hours are missed due to tardiness or leaving
class early, students must retake the class the next time it is offered or make
up these hours via a tutorial with an instructor or a special project on the
related subject. Written approval by the Director is required in either of
these circumstances. Tutorial fees vary depending on the instructor and
range from $50-$100 per hour.
