Reflexology
Reflexology is a deeply relaxing treatment achieved by applying pressure to specific points of the body. Jennifer said the hands can become a like map of the whole body when this pressure is applied.
Jennifer kindly gave us a manicure demonstration which the whole class really enjoyed and tried doing also.
What oils and creams do you use for massage? Cranberry cream, Almond oil (but make sure the client doesn’t have an allergy) and we use a Hygiene Spray as well. Can having a manicure help relieve stress and anxiety? Yes. A manicure can be part of reflexology, where pressure applied to certain points on the head, feet, and in this case, the hands, can have a positive impact on the whole body.
Phoebe Ellis along with others met Jennifer Rennie to ask about her work as a beauty therapist and the course she teaches at Sutton College. What course do you teach? Introduction to the Hair and Beauty Sector Level 1 which runs weekly from September to July. Why do people do this course? To build a career in beauty, whether that is working in a high street salon or, like me, setting up in their own backyard. What can students learn on your course? How to do makeup and manicures. We also teach different types of massage and reflexology. My students are all artists, bringing their unique sense of creativity but all with the same goal.
