should not be used. This hands-on class will allow you to practice with yourself or a partner from class as you

or others. You’ll also receive handouts that explain basic reflexology treatment, includes foot/hand maps,
and additional resources you can access later.

Ten million Americans have osteoporosis; one in two
women over the age of 50 will break a bone due to
