How I Became a Reflexologist
My name is Angela Daws and in March 2010 I became a fully qualified Reflexologist after training on a course accredited by ABC Awards.
On leaving school at sixteen I had no idea of what I wanted to do with my life and so went to college in Northampton to learn Business Studies. I passed the two year course and got my first job working in the offices of a small leather tannery locally but after a couple of year's the site closed down and from here on in I started my foray into the world of accounts.
Over the next twenty years I worked within the Accounts Department for several companies, some small and some large, although I can honestly say that I felt very little enjoyment or personal fulfilment from what I did, and so I left permanent employment, very disillusioned with industry, and decided to do a home study course to gain a professional bookkeeping qualification. I passed with flying colours due to the knowledge and experience gained while working in an Accounts environment and began to look for my own customers as a self employed bookkeeper. Eventually after many ups and downs I decided that I no longer wanted to work within an office environment and particularly not in the field of Accounts.
After a few months of considering what path to take I started thinking about how I had looked into studying holistic therapies when I was about eighteen and had been talked out of it at the time as it was not viewed as a true career path. I researched a number of therapies and decided that Reflexology was the area that appealed and interested me most.
On the internet I found a school that appealed to me and which seemed very professional and I enrolled on the next available course. The next year of studying flew by and before I knew it the exam had arrived. Having not sat an exam for twenty years I was terrified but after a few weeks of analysing my answers and thinking about what I had written I found out that I had passed and passed well.
I am now setting out on the next part of the journey and am establishing a Reflexology business working from home. Having had to take medication for half of my life, due to a lifelong condition I developed, I fully understand and encompass the benefits that Complementary Therapies can have on an individual.
I have not for one moment regretted my decision to train as a reflexologist, from clients that I have treated it is immensely fulfilling to know that someone has been helped from receiving a Reflexology treatment.
