Metamorphosis is a gentle type of Reflexology done on feet, hands and head and focusing on the spinal reflexes. The spine holds our primary patterns that were formed in the prenatal time. Through bringing prenatal imprints into focus the practitioner can assist the client in releasing blocks that are present in their life. In this way people can release the past and come into their full self expression. The work is powerful in that it addresses the root of our problems and assists us in becoming free of limitations connecting us to our true selves. Prerequisites: Introductory Reflexology and 20 documented practice hours that have been reviewed by SRMC.

Bodywork from Thailand is taking North America by storm! The latest to reach our shores is Thai foot reflexology, a marriage of the ancient healing arts of reflexology, Chinese tuina, Japanese shiatsu and Indian ayurvedic yoga.

Working with the feet, lower leg and knees, this approach frees up blocked energy within the body’s many sen lines (Thai-based meridians) to produce a deep and unique feeling of balance, relaxation and well-being. Class will cover history and philosophy, safe use of your hands and a traditional Thai foot stick, and incorporation of hydrotherapy and efficacious lubricants during a session. You will leave with the knowledge of a full one-hour Thai foot reflexology session.
