Experience and credentials of your teacher /trainer
I received my RCRT credentials after completing my Foot Reflexology training from the homologated course offered by the Reflexology Association of Canada in March 2012 and have been practicing professionally since. I officially opened the micro-clinic Réflexe Santé specializing uniquely in reflexology therapy on June 14th 2012. I later completed my Hand Reflexology certification and graduated as a Licensed Reflexology Teacher in December of 2013.
Throughout my years of learning Reflexology, I was fortunate to be mentored by my dear friend Nelie, an extraordinarily caring human being and a 40 year veteran of reflexology and acupressure learned from therapist in her homeland of the Philippines.
My background in health studies go back to 1985 when I received a bachelors degree in Health Sciences and Nursing from the University of Ottawa, Ontario and later worked in the hospital sector as a registered nurse.
