Reflexology Training Course in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire – 2018

Posted · Add Comment

Reflexology is a fascinating therapy There are many theories of how reflexology works.

FHT-Accredited Pregnancy Massage Training at Cheltenham School of Complementary Therapy & Beauty May 14th and 15th, 2018 It’s difficult for massage therapists to decide what training they would like to invest in as there’s just so many courses out there to choose from.  Some massage therapists decided to treat pregnant clients without additional specialist training.
