Newsletter - Summer 2017
   


Happy Summer to you all!

Well summer certainly snuck up on me pretty quickly so just have to remind myself to enjoy it!

I guess its been a busy spring for me, took a Reiki I course with Stephanie at the Transense clinic which was very interesting and will help a lot in my reflexology practice.

The mom and baby workshops are going well at Toronto Yoga Mamas and just a delight to meet these moms and teach them some simple reflexology techniques.

I am now preparing to travel to St John's again in July and teach for 8 days, always a great pleasure to be there.  And this year will be promoting our Acupressure course that is happening there at the end of August.  We still have a couple of spaces left, so don't delay if you want a place, the instructor won't be back there for some time.

Also the nutrition 30 course is available ongoing and its online so no need to attend classes.  It is intended to equip you with the basics of nutrition to enable you to better help your clients where their knowledge is lacking.

Check out all the course dates below and make sure you pass them on to anyone you know who might be interested.

Kit Watkins recently attended a Pregnancy and Reflexology course in Ontario and thought it was excellent.  A great way to add knowledge to your repertoire and also add continuing educational hours.  She is also looking for case studies so if you know anyone pregnant she can help, please contact her directly at kwatkins70@yahoo.ca.

Don't forget to keep checking our FB page as we are posting lots of interesting stuff on anatomy and physiology as well as Reflexology.


Best wishes, Janet
