Everything You Need To Know About Our Independent Reflexology Course...
OUR FOUNDER WENDY FINKE PRM SAYS:
When I first decided reflexology was the career I wanted, I had no idea where this would lead me and how enthralling the path would be. 25 years on, thank goodness the therapy has grown in recognition with not only public perception, but with medics too! Our reflexology course combines methods & techniques developed over thousands of hours in practice and by teaching those methods to small groups, the “Three Shires Experience” has earned a reputation second to none. We have always taught with love for the therapy, and passion for watching our students develop and hone their skills and knowledge. By the time they graduate, they are complete & well-rounded reflexologists, able to make a real difference to their client’s wellbeing!

The Professional Reflexology Diploma in Practitioner Reflexology
We train our students at this level because all of the core units and elements which comprise the qualification have been specifically written for reflexology by
PRINCIPAL MARTYN FINKE PRM EXPLAINS HOW OUR COURSE WORKS:
After an informal chat for us to find out about you and explain how our reflexology course works, we ask you to complete your application. On induction day you start hands-on training, (you actually begin treatments on day one!) You learn a basic treatment over a shorter time than at other schools; it’s intense, but it means we can develop your practical ability to a greater extent further along. We don’t teach unit-by-unit, we take you on a logical developing journey, discovering how all parts of the course (both practical & theory), fit together to make you a confident and competent therapist; Three Shires it is not just a question of gaining a qualification. You will have tutor & school support throughout this journey and beyond if you should need us.
