Synopsis of course
By definition, Reflexology is a holistic therapy, which is to say it is possible to treat a person in body, mind and spirit.
Reflexology is a natural, healing touch therapy based on the principle that there exist ten zones of energy which run from the top of the head to the soles of the feet and to the palms of the hands and that, within these zones, there are reflexes to all parts and organs of the body.
By using a technique of intermittent pressure with the finger and thumb, there is the possibility of reducing stress, tension and other disorders and illnesses, improving the circulation of the blood and the elimination of toxins, bringing the body into a natural state of balance and harmony in all its parts. By eliminating the causes and symptoms of disease and pain, Reflexology renews vigour and vitality in the body.

About Chris
Unusually, Chris Cozens has a background in the RAF, where he served for 22 years before deciding on a radical career change in 1996. This came about after he went through a difficult emotional period in his life, when he turned to a reflexologist for help. He then saw a crystal healer and Shaman. He began attending workshops himself and hasn’t looked back since. Chris has widened his knowledge by attending countless workshops and training, from healing to a wide range of therapies.
Chris’s teaching has recently taken him from Trinidad to Spain, to training within mental health organisations such as MIND, teaching blind and deaf individuals and a world-wide hair salon chain. Chris is a complementary teacher and therapist with a difference. His style of teaching is fun, friendly, relaxed and highly informative.
In 1998 he established Life Arts, offering complementary therapies and specialising in Indian Head Massage. Today Life Arts offers a wide variety of training including The Association of Natural Medicine (ANM) accredited courses and Chris organises his own popular mind-body-spirit exhibitions.
Since 1999, more than 1,500 students have chosen to train with Chris, studying his Professional or Introductory Complementary Therapy training courses.
