Christina Lyne School of Reflexology

About Christina

I am a Reflexologist with 20 years’ experience in practice.   I run a private clinic in complementary therapies and am qualified in Aromatherapy (massage and product making), Reflexology,  Reiki, Indian Head Massage and Hot Stone Massage. I am DTLLS and PGCE qualified and have 10 years teaching experience including Level 3 Diplomas in Aromatherapy and Reflexology with both ABC and VTCT. I also run Aromatherapy Product Making Courses.  I have also taught Anatomy & Physiology and Nutrition.



I trained in Reflexology over 20 years ago and initially, I was interested in Aromatherapy and Essential Oils. I did not know anything about Reflexology but when I was researching the different Aromatherapy courses available, I discovered Reflexology and was excited at the thought of how both treatments could really work together to support people’s health.  So I signed up to do my Level 3 Diploma’s in Aromatherapy and Reflexology at Chichester College of Arts, Science and Technology and that is where I met my Reflexology tutor, Susie Jennings, founder of the Susie Jennings School of Reflexology who has been my friend and mentor ever since.

For me and, I hope, for you if you decide to take the course, the best thing about being a Reflexologist is that I am able to help clients physically, mentally and emotionally.  Clients can be amazed at what reflex points can show and how that might be linked to symptoms they might be experiencing.  Clients will experience different sensations and have different outcomes from the treatments which, for me, keeps every treatment fascinatingly different each time.

I chose to teach the PR Practitioner Diploma (PRD) because I wanted to teach a high standard professional qualification in Reflexology but with emphasis on practical contact training. 

You might ask yourself ‘why should I choose your course?'

I am passionate about standards which is why I teach the PRD. Class sizes are no larger than 8 to be able to provide a high level of individual attention and support throughout the course.  I also want you to enjoy your learning, so I like the keep the learning dynamic and fun.  The venue is modern and well equipped with ample free parking. 
The school as also won an award, the Prestige Awards-Reflexology Clinic of the Year-South England.

The course is held on nine weekends over nine months so give students who work full-time the opportunity to attend the course. The course is held on consecutive days to enable students who travel from further away the opportunity to stay at a B&B to keep costs down.

Hi, I'm Chris, Principal of the Christine Jackson Reflexology School.

Chris jackson reflexology

 
I gained my BSc (Hons) in Complementary Therapies at the University of Cumbria in 2012 and am a member of PR (Professional Reflexology) the AOR (Association of Reflexologist)  and registered with the CNHC (Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council) which is the only official register officially recognised by the NHS.

Studying anatomy and physiology really gave me an understanding about myself and how disconnected from my body I was. I found that the more I learned the more I understood how to take better care of myself, for example studying the effects of stress on the body systems and how to manage it allowed me to see that thoughts play such a valuable role in how our body systems react. It was fascinating to see the power of reflexology in our practice sessions and implementing our learning of theory.


I am one for needing detail and like information and of course high standards.
I wanted to know everything about the Practitioner Diploma and Martyn (Martyn Finke, of PR) happily answered every question I had with confidence and ease. However, there was also the fact that I needed to fit their criteria for teaching. Reaching these conclusions was more than an application form online, email or phone call. I had the pleasure of going to the headquarters of PR and the pleasure of meeting and spending time with Martyn and Wendy, founders of PR and the developers of the practitioner diploma. We connected over coffee and could have talked and talked about our love, passion and the amazement of reflexology for the whole weekend easily.

I was overjoyed when they were happy I’d met their stringent tutor needs and even more excited at seeing what the practitioner diploma covered. The balance between theory and practice and support available was fantastic, not to mention the years of experience Martyn and Wendy have had to find that perfect balance but proven tutors and practitioners in their own right. As standards are important to me I was so pleased to see that their practitioner diploma is fully accredited and recognised by the complementary natural healthcare council (CNHC).

susie ray precision reflexology
The School of Precision Reflexology, now based in Somerset, offers the only recognised training in Precision Reflexology worldwide.

Training centres on the "linking" technique, unique to Precision Reflexology. This connects specific reflex points of the feet and unites with the subtle energy of the client to achieve homeostasis.

Precision Reflexology is a light-touch approach which is both powerful and precise – relying on a person's energy rather than pressure – and can be used as a standalone treatment or incorporated easily into other reflexology sequences. It is particularly effective when working with fragile clients or those finding it hard to release held emotions within the body.

Principal Susie Ray is a reflexologist based in Frome, Somerset. Since qualifying in 2005 she has been actively involved in the field of reflexology running area groups, sitting on committees, assistant tutoring and teaching parents and carers how to give reflexology to their babies and toddlers.

Susie has a holistic view of health, ensuring mind, body and spirit are part of the healing journey. Her aim is always to empower people to take control and ownership of their health. She believes that using reflexology to treat the whole person instead of individual ailments or symptoms is one of the most effective forms of preventative healthcare.

Susie says, "It is an honour to be taking over the reins from Jan in becoming the custodian of the School. Precision Reflexology forms an integral part of my approach to holistic wellness. Over the years, I have seen incredible results with this form of reflexology and I'm delighted to be able to continue to share this wonderful technique."
