FJM workshop in Arizona

FJM strongly supports Reflexology Association of America (RAA) and State organizations, that promote healing properties of Reflexology through use of hands because of the healing contribution human touch can offer. FJM being a provider approved by ARCB for 12 Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) totally agrees with ARCB policy on testing and approving hands techniques as a basis of Reflexology. The use of tools at FJM workshop is intended for self-help, and encouraged during a client session on a limited basis, as an adjunct technique, and not in the place of basic and advanced hand techniques, that are mostly taught and tested at FJM workshops. Strong practitioner discretion is adviced, as FJM does not carry liability for such application. FJM encourages unity in the profession and invites all practicing reflexologists to join RAA at this time as the National Institutes of Health's Office of Complementary and Alternative Medicine begins to examine the effectiveness of all complementary and alternative modalities.
