Professional Training Courses and Natural Therapies

How did Cyla K Higley come to offer accredited Level 3 Diploma Holistic Reflexology Courses?

After my son was born life took a different direction when he started to show signs of eczema. My research and personal exploration to find ways to help him led me down the road of natural therapies and changes in his diet.

For the last 25 years I have brought together all my knowledge and training at the School of Holistic Reflexology and. Multi-Therapy Centre now based in Marlborough, Wiltshire.

Passing on My Knowledge

I feel that it is extremely important to pass on my knowledge, training and practice. For the past 25 years I have been seeing clients in my clinic and for 20 years running accredited reflexology courses. I would like to pass on all the information I have been picking up to you, so that you can also help and support the people you come into contact with.

Training Courses
With this in mind I run various Training Courses - full Diploma Courses in Holistic Reflexology and short certificated courses in other natural therapies.

The School of Holistic Reflexology provides professional training in its accredited Reflexology courses based in Wiltshire. The Diploma Reflexology Courses are held in small friendly groups for your best learning experience.

A past student said about the Diploma Reflexology Courses:

'I would highly recommend this course to anyone considering training in Reflexology. After 15 months of Cyla's tuition I feel so knowledgeable about the human body, physical, mind and spirit and confident to start my Reflexology practice.
Other courses may be shorter but this one will truly qualify you to be let loose on the public and make a difference!
Cyla is a wealth of knowledge, energy and warmth - you couldn't find a better tutor and guide.'
Yours ever grateful, J G, (Wiltshire)

I also offer certificated short training courses and work-shops. You could use these in order to treat your friends and family or as a natural health practitioner to acquire further training and gain CPD points. The courses on offer include Indian Head Massage Courses and Reiki Attunements as well as workshops in Basic Reflexology, Ortho-bionomy and Kinesiology.

Books
In order to help my students have a greater understanding of the energy flow through the body and its relationship to health I have written about the Human Energy Field in a book called West Meets East. This explains the 5 Elements approach to interpreting what your body is trying to tell you based on acupuncture meridians and the Eastern view of diseases. It is also important to understand the role and the effects of different foods on your personal energy.
This book has been sub-divided into two handy booklets suitable for both students and anyone interested in learning more about how their body reflects the universal life force.

Charts and DVDs
The School of Holistic Reflexology DVD set is a great resource for students wishing to learn a good standard of foot reflexology. The 2 DVDs break down the treatment sequence into manageable sections and then put them all together for the complete treatment.

Charts are a great source of handy information.
The Five Element Foot and Hand Reflexology Charts combine the two aspects of reflexology experience and the 5 elements for improved understanding. They are colour-coded according to the Chinese Five Element theory to help you quickly relate specific reflex imbalances with meridian and emotional imbalances.

There is also an Indian Head Massage Chart This is a double-sided A4 chart designed in a similar manner to the reflexology charts. It has diagrams depicting the acupuncture points and 5 element associations on the face, head and upper torso. Each are colour-coded for ease of association. It would also be a valuable addition when used in association with the 5 Elements booklet.

Natural products
As part of my natural approach to life and health I discovered Natural Crystal Deodorants. These are made from natural food-grade salts that impede bacterial growth. The natural salts have been used by indigenous people all around the world in some form to help as a deodorant. They are now made as liquid roll-ons and sprays and you can buy them from pH Natural Products.

The Personal approach

I believe in a holistic approach to health and healing. With this in mind I offer a healing programme that is individual to you, your needs and preferences. This means that together we can find the combination of Natural Therapies that will have the most effective outcome for you as a whole.
For instance you may need some temporary dietary support, food sensitivity testing, energy healing or some physical manipulation. Each one of these would be individually beneficial but together they work so much better – The Sum is Greater than the Individual Parts.

I like my approach to clients to be as personal and individual as possible.
As one client commented about her daughter's natural therapy treatment:

'I wanted to tell you what a different experience it was for her than any of her medical appointments she's had over last year about this. She's always found them rather distressing but she said that she didn't with you at all - such a different approach which showed sympathy for the whole person not just zoning in on a medical condition.'

Over the course of the 25 years I was drawn to different therapies for different reasons. I seemed to have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge about the various natural therapies on offer. To start with there were few to choose from and these could be difficult to access. With the passing of the years the range of therapies seems to have grown and accessibility has definitely improved. I was guided by my clients and family to study a variety of therapies in order to provide the best treatments.
