Hollie’s Reflexology Journey
“After 33 years of Clinical Reflexology practice, this incredible modality never ceases to amaze me!”
Completing her Practitioner Qualification in 1992 in London, England, Hollie has since built a busy home practice as well as working in various community settings including cancer units, hospitals, aged care facilities and adult disability centres. She began teaching Reflexology in 2002 in London and pioneered a new curriculum syllabus aimed at Adults with Disabilities for her local Government Authority.
Since arriving in Perth in 2005, Hollie completed Certificate IV Training & Assessment enabling her to deliver Reflexology Units at Central Institute of Technology (formerly TAFE) as well as Introduction to Reflexology at Endeavour College.
“I particularly enjoy my work within the Disability Sector. A lot of my clients are non-verbal and although unable to give spoken feedback, it is very clear how beneficial Reflexology treatments are for them, lots of smiles, laughter and removal of shoes as soon as they see me! Families and carers confirm how their behaviour and general wellbeing improves following treatments.”
Hollie obtained Professional Membership of the Reflexology Association of Australia in 2008 and has held many positions on Committee. Hollie is currently Chairperson of RAoA WA Branch Committee.
“What started out as a ‘hobby’ has since transformed into an incredible journey. I can’t wait to see where Reflexology will take me next!”

What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a holistic, non-invasive therapy which complements other therapies and modern medicine. It is based on the principle that all parts of the body are reflected on the feet, hands and ears. A qualified Reflexologist will use a combination of pressure techniques on these reflexes in order to address imbalances in the mind and body.
- Reduces muscular tension and joint pain
- Relieves fatigue
- Improves sleep quality
- Increases energy and reduces tension
- Boosts lymphatic function
- Detoxifies the body and mind
- Improves circulation

Want to know more about our courses, or a career in Reflexology?
Here are some answers to the questions we are most frequently asked.
When I successfully complete the Certificate of Clinical Reflexology, am I qualified to practice Reflexology?
See reflexology.org.au for benefits of Professional Membership of a National organisation.
Can I give Health Fund Rebates to my clients with this qualification?
This may change in the future as it is at the discretion of the Health Funds themselves.
What is the difference between the Diploma of Reflexology and the Certificate of Clinical Reflexology?
The Certificate of Clinical Reflexology has been designed by the Reflexology Association of Australia to run parallel with the Diploma of Reflexology.
Should students wish to study further there is a possibility to do so with RTOs and complete the further 5 Units required for the Diploma in Reflexology. Please note that RTOs will make charges for Recognised Prior Learning of the already completed 16 units at their discretion.
Are there any pre-requisites required before enrolment in the Certificate of Clinical Reflexology?
We would advise that you have completed education at school up to Year 12 or equivalent.
We recommend that students undertake the Anatomy & Physiology Unit before course commencement as this assists with understanding the body’s systems as we learn their reflex points.
Students are required to successfully complete Units HLTAAP002 (Anatomy & Physiology) & HLTAID003 (Provide First Aid) at a RTO, for completion of Certificate of Clinical Reflexology.
What are the job prospects for Qualified Reflexologists?
Many practitioners also combine their private practice with clients in community organisations such as Aged Care Homes, Disability Centres, Womens’ Refuges, etc.
