"After all, health is only two feet away!"
Reflexology is one of the fastest growing holistic therapies now gaining worldwide acceptance. It is based on the scientific principle that every organ in the body is reflected in certain reflexes in the feet.
The feet are a microcosm of the human body. By manipulating the reflex areas on the feet, energy congestion in the body is released. Correct stimulation of the feet reflexes, while the client is relaxed, improves the energy flow and the blood supply.
This results in an overall feeling of well-being and this enables the body to function efficiently. Reflexology is a completely safe, natural aid to restoring the body's healthy balance.

Getting the job you want is not about following rules or giving the 'right' interview answer. It is about presenting yourself in the most authentic way that takes care of you and the interviewers at the same time. So many people throw their chances away: they do not take enough care and interview preparation time so that the whole process is enjoyable, stimulating and informative for both parties. This section aims to show you how.
This section will consider the importance of study skills and how we can identify and enhance our current skill set. We will then take a closer look at different learning styles and how knowledge of our own preferences in this area can make our learning more effective. Finally we will look at some basic time management techniques to enable you to plan and organise your studies and stay motivated.
Our friendly tutors are ready to help with any queries you may have. You need never feel stranded or cut off from help!
A collection of games to sharpen your concentration or just take time out from studying.
A collection of reference materials, links to e-journals, and reading lists compiled by our tutors

Student Reviews for Reflexology Course
My review is for the reflexology course. I found it extremely interesting and thoroughly enjoyable. I used the postal method, and received good feedback from my tutor (always the same tutor even after 27 assignments). Feedback was received within a couple of days and I would definitely recommend to friends, and also use again myself. You can work at your own pace and the information Stonebridge provide is excellent. Highly recommended!

I have done three online courses with Stonebridge College. Reflexology, Anti Ageing and Massage.I received my Diploma in all three with distinctions. This has given me the confidence to start a new career at age 54. I have now opened my own reflexology and massage center which already show promising financial results. With the help and guidance of the tutors and administrative staff my studies were made to be very encouraging which had me studying with a passion I never did at high school.I am now encouraging my daughter to do the same course so I can pass on my business to her which will possibly remain in my family for generations.

Last year I decided to take a reflexology course and went through an extensive search to find something online that would suit me. I found the best one to go with and that was Stonebridge College. I learnt so much from the course - the history of reflexology, anatomy, the reflex points, and much more. The feedback from my tutor was terrific. The course has empowered me to go further and has opened up a whole new world of career opportunities that I never would have considered before. I am now enrolled in Chinese Medical Theory at Stonebridge, and even though the course can be intense, I am enjoying this incredible learning experience. My tutor is terrific and has given me lots of insights. I recommend the school and the two courses that I have had the pleasure to experience in the world of learning.
