Reproflexology™ Training

Here’s what some of our most recent trainees have said about the specialised training offered by Barbara Scott:

"For anyone wanting to understand and work with the complexities of fertility issues and their treatments, the Reproflexology course is the most comprehensive post-graduate reflexology course around. It is well-taught, hugely interesting and covers a lot of ground. It has given me the knowledge and confidence to work with clients at such a sensitive and important period of their lives. Barbara is a supportive and highly experienced tutor."

"This is an excellent course. My knowledge of fertility and infertility has increased on an exponential level. Barbara’s delivery of the modules is clear and understandable and her support during my course studies was empathetic and encouraging. Her knowledge of fertility issues is vast. Thank you for an excellent course and enjoyable learning experience."

"The course was very informative and clear, giving me clear guidance to perform the techniques correctly and confidently."

"Overall the best course I have ever been on."

Have you ever wanted to help a client undergoing fertility treatment but had to refuse because your conventional reflexology training told you this was unwise and could endanger the success or efficacy of the medical intervention?

Barbara Scott was taught just that in her own training. However, in practice she found it was very difficult to deny treatment to clients at a time when they most needed the support of a wise and experienced therapist.

Over the years she has made a detailed study of the subject and developed a range of techniques which she has applied to great effect in her own busy practice in Nottingham. Now, contrary to the advice she was given in training, she has come to believe that in the hands of an experienced practitioner, conventional fertility treatment can be greatly enhanced by the techniques she calls Reproflexology™.

Barbara writes: Reflexology for fertility has become of more and more interest to people exploring their options in trying to conceive. As reflexologists I am sure that we have all experienced an increase in clients seeking help in this area.

However it can be a minefield of when to treat, what to treat, how to treat, and what realistic sensible advice can be given to clients. We all want to provide as much support and help as possible during what we know can be a difficult and potentially distressing time for our clients.

In addition there is also the thorny issue of working during IVF and IUI cycles – Is it safe? What should I do? How can I help? What is the process? And how can I work alongside the drugs that will be taken?

My course provides a wealth of information to enable you, as a practitioner, to be able to do just that. The techniques for reproductive reflexology have been developed over many years, and have proved to be effective and beneficial in improving outcomes, alleviating symptoms, and helping couples to improve their fertility.

The Reproflexology™ course is separated into two parts, running over two weekends with some case study work to do in between.

Part 1 of the course covers understanding the basic causes of fertility difficulties in both men and women, identifying ovulation, medical tests undertaken by clients, and how to work with fertility and sub fertility. This must by completed before embarking on the second weekend. Part 2 focuses entirely on working with medicated cycles, IUI and IVF.

On the successful conclusion of the course all students will receive at Certificate in Reproflexology© which will count towards their Continuing Professional Development.

Jenni Grant – a very experienced teacher of maternity reflexology and a trained midwife writes:

Thank you Barbara for a tremendous course and cram packed with information. As a maternity reflexologist my knowledge and experience of pregnancy reflexology is fairly comprehensive but ever increasing and developing. However your fertility and reflexology techniques and programmes planned around the treatment cycles have given me much more confidence in this area which was previously regarded with fear and over caution.

I will be pleased to recommend your course to my students to spread the knowledge that with appropriate fertility training with Reproflexology™ this important and beneficial work will reach more and more potential parents. This will promote their fertility and ease their transition at a very important but stressful time in their lives as well as to improve the fertility rates and successful outcomes with such a natural and holistic approach complementary to allopathic medicine.

John Rhind, another recent course member told us:

As a male therapist dealing with fertility reflexology treatments already, I found the course both absorbing and relevant. I enjoyed Barbara's calm, unruffled presentation and learnt a lot from the four days. Doing the course in two split weekends allowed me to go away and practice the techniques learnt before the 'heavier' and more complex assisted conception programme. I would thoroughly recommend this course to any reflexologist who is serious about helping couples with fertility problems.
