WELCOME TO REFLEXOLOGY RESOURCES

Your one stop place for finding everything related to reflexology.

My original concept was to create a resource manual for professional reflexology practitioners. To facilitate keeping the information current I have published it online.

So, welcome to the Reflexology Resources Online Manual. Look below for the wealth of resources available inside.

Some sections are reserved for professional reflexology practitioners. If you are a professional reflexology practitioner or a student training to practice reflexology professionally, use this link to enter the MEMBER AREA and access resources to support you in your reflexology professional practice. There is currently no charge for your membership, however, a donation (use our CONTACT page) to support the maintenance and development of this website will be graciously received.

  • CHRISTINE ISSEL

    Chris—

    Your new Reflexology Resource website is fantastic!! Congratulations. I recognize what a huge time consuming project it has been to put the reference library together.

    I compliment you on this wonderful addition to information on reflexology. It is amazing all the books, charts, videos, research, etc. that has occurred, bringing the recognition of reflexology forward since we first met in Toronto, in 1988.

    I encourage every instructor of reflexology to include this website in the resource list provided to students. I am positive practitioners and the public will find it valuable too.

    This compilation, plus offering access to the library free to all, certainly demonstrates your passion and dedication to the field of reflexology and the work we love. Thank you for your continued support of reflexology over all these years.

    Best wishes for your continued success,

    Christopher Shirley has developed a fantastic resource website for reflexologists and others interested in reflexology topics, research or are looking for a reflexology practitioner worldwide. His painstaking work is now available to the reflexology world and beyond and we are richer for it.

    Chris' long experience of teaching and reflexology practice made him aware that there was a demand for research papers, references to specific conditions, and so much more regarding international organisations and products. To actually put this information so painstakingly together was an enormous project. 

    I shall certainly recommend this website to my students and reflexology colleagues.  It also showcases, to the wider public, the amount of research that has been undertaken in the field of reflexology.

    Thank you so much Chris for your hard work and diligence from which we can all benefit.

  • BILL FLOCCO

    Christopher Shirley has provided you, the world of reflexology, as well as anyone searching for information about reflexology, an absolutely amazing gift.

     Having spent an unimaginably gargantuan amount of effort, energy and time, Christopher gathered, into one place, for easy access, for anyone around the globe, a staggering number of resources, from myriad sources around the world.

    Reflexology research, publications, associations, products, books, charts, videos, and, as if that were not enough, lists of reflexology practitioners in quite a few countries.

     It’s a dream come true. Every reflexologist, reflexology school and reflexology association around the world, no matter where they may be, needs to know about this amazing unique website: www.reflexologyresources.com

     Congratulations Christopher and thank you for providing the world such an invaluable new resource.

    Trust Christopher Shirley of the Pacific Institute of Reflexology to come up with this long-needed resource of ‘everything Reflexology’!

    No matter what you are looking for, anywhere in the world, this is the place to start.

    I can only imagine the hours that went into creating this compilation.

    Thank you, Chris; I look forward to watching how the site grows in the future.

  • I cannot imagine how many hours of work Chris Shirley has spent creating this wonderful resource of information for the Reflexology World. This website is truly a smorgasbord of all things Reflexology!

    With this website, everything you could wish to find is indexed and arranged in an easy to find manner – There is Reflexology history, research, associations and such an in-depth set of pages on publications.

    I will be recommending Chris’s website to all my students. My only gripe is that Chris hadn’t put this resource together earlier. 😊

  • Chris has created an invaluable resource for all of us, whether we are Reflexology practitioners and teachers, clients or medical professionals. He has compiled much of the available evidence-based research for reflexology, acupressure and auricular therapy. It’s all here! This resource will enhance how you view reflexology as a complementary therapy and add credibility to your practice.

    My favourite section is the Members Area. There you will find hundreds of health conditions listed. For each, Chris has included a definition, causes, symptoms and which reflexes to focus on while working with clients. This is such a helpful ‘go to’ when you need to research a specific condition

    Chris has referred to this website as ‘fluid’. The phenomenal amount of work he has already put into this project will, of necessity, be ongoing. As new research and an evolving understanding of health and wellness unfolds, so will this wealth of information. Chris invites us to contribute, to pass on for inclusion in his website, new research and ‘discoveries’.

    I can’t thank Chris enough for giving us this resource. I encourage you to follow his work and join as a ‘Member’. Pass this amazing resource on to others, therapists, teachers, students and clients.

    In appreciation Chris,
