  • Through additional training, the ability to develop particular expertise, for example: reflexology for pregnancy, maternity or womens’ health issues; illnesses such as cancer or dementia; different forms of reflexology such as classic, nerve or lymphatic drainage reflexology; or reflexology using different areas, such as feet, hands, face or ears.
