Thinking about trying reflexology? Here are my top 3 questions to ask before you book that first appointment.
Reflexology is an amazing modality that can benefit almost everyone. But it’s important to ask your reflexologist a few key questions before you book your first session with them.
Question 1: Do you have an intake health history form?
This is huge. Your reflexology therapist should be getting your health history before doing any work with you. There are some things that might make you high risk for receiving a reflexology session, so it’s really important for your therapist to understand your past and current health history, as well as what you’re hoping to get out of your sessions.
Filling out a form before your appointment helps set everyone up for success.
Question 2: What are your qualifications?
There are tons of options when it comes to reflexology education, but you want to make sure your reflexology therapist has received proper training before working on clients. Don’t be afraid to ask them about their schooling and what certifications they hold.
This isn’t about being picky - it’s about making sure you’re in good hands.
Question 3: Are you registered and insured?
Being registered and insured isn’t always required, but it shows that your reflexology therapist is held to a higher standard. Being registered usually means they’re part of an association that requires ongoing education and professional development. It also shows they care about professionalism and public safety.
Being insured means there’s a level of protection for both you and the therapist.
The Bottom Line
These questions aren’t meant to make things complicated - they’re meant to help you feel confident about your choice. A good reflexologist will be happy to answer these questions and help you feel comfortable about your first session.
Your health and safety matter, and asking these questions shows you’re taking both seriously.
