Reiki CPD *NEW*
GAIA AromaReiki Reiki Drum
The Gaia School of Natural Health was founded in 2008 by Carolyn Roberts.
Carolyn was originally an academic librarian and holds an MA in Information and Library Studies. She has been a practising therapist since 1999. Her qualifications include:
Principal Carolyn Roberts with Assistant Tutor Debbie Hurst
Over the years, Carolyn has studied with many great teachers and organisations:
Carolyn has also acquired Continuing Education of 16 hours in The Science-Based Manzanares Method(TM) of Reflexology course, taught by Dr. Jesus Manzanares, MD. Course training includes instruction in the Manzanares Press and Slide Technique(TM), Manzanares research principles, reflexology protocols and foot reflexology mapping.
Carolyn has many years experience using reflexology to support couples trying to conceive, and during pregnancy; and working with musculo-skeletal issues, as major areas of interest. More recently she has focused on using reflexology as an energy therapy: combining it with meridians, light touch work, acupressure points, chakra work, “linking” and reiki; and teaching and writing on “Subtle Energy Reflexology”. Her article on “Distance Reflexology” was published in “Reflexions”, the magazine of the Association of Reflexologists, in December 2020, and can also be found in the Blog on this Gaia School website.
Carolyn has devised protocols for applying crystals to the feet in her “Crystal Reflexology” training courses. Her AOR approved CPD courses: Gaia AromaReflex and Gaia Advanced AromaReflex, which runs live via zoom, are attended by students from around the world. Their enthusiastic testimonials can be read on the AromaReflex page. This knowledge, experience and passion, Carolyn brings to her training of future complementary therapists. Her students receive many extra and advanced skills and insights whilst studying with her.
Products: Carolyn has devised and produced a licensed range of reflexology balms, and her popular Grounding and Protecting Room Spray. She advised and supported her daughter in the setting up of her crystal shop, Celestial Selection.
In 2023 Carolyn was a Founder Partner of the Integrated Reflexology Consortium of reflexology training schools, which took over from Centralia in writing and administering the Level 5 Diploma in Practitioner Reflexology awarded by Agored Cymru. As a partnership they revised, updated and received approval for the latest version of the Level 5 Diploma which is now offered by 16 venues across the UK, including the Gaia School of Natural Health.
