Reflexology Certification Program

We are committed to sharing the art and science of Reflexology with the Tampa Bay community. As a specialty modality for Licensed Massage Therapists, Reflexology leads to increased revenue, client loyalty, and a stronger bodywork career. Non-licensed individuals can also learn Reflexology to assist friends and family in a non-professional setting. We are open to sharing the world of Reflexology with you - come let us show you what the buzz is about.

Our Reflexology Certification Program consists of 300 total hours over 12 months and is held to national standards. Students are able to apply for the National Reflexology Certification Exam through the American Reflexology Certification Board (ARCB) after completing this program. Our training program operates on a rolling enrollment system.

​Licensed Massage Therapists will receive all 24 CEUs needed for license renewal during the full Certification Program (including required Florida Law, Professional Ethics, and Medical Errors courses).

In addition, these classes are open to the public to spread Reflexology theory and techniques through our community as a non-professional form of compassionate touch. We would love to welcome you into our Reflexology family!

Each weekend is worth 14 hands-on CEUs. Certificates of attendance are available upon request.

Please note that only properly licensed Massage Therapy professionals can practice Reflexology for compensation in the state of Florida.
