"......Being a Reflexologist is the top 5 career choices
in the field of Holistic Health......."

Hear what Susan's Students are saying:

"I value my time and my money. Susan Watson's reflexology class was well worth both. Her passion for the subject and her knowledge shined through the entire weekend. I learned a lot because she taught in a way that incorporated all learning styles into the experience: auditory, visual tactile and experiential. We stopped the "classroom" learning at intervals to actually work on each other. Susan was right there the entire time guiding and instructing."
