A big hello from Katie & Emma

Our Story

​

Katie and Emma's story begins with two inspirational reflexologist teachers who were the early creators of many reflexology techniques today.

 

Founder Jenny Lee, a Chartered Physiotherapist and Qualified Reflexologist, developed Baby Reflex.

 

In the 1990s, Jenny conducted several pilot research studies with Oxford Brooks University to track how Reflexology affected children with asthma. She did this with the approval and support of the children's GPs and schools. Following 15 years of extensive research into the effects of regular Reflexology on Childhood Asthma, the main findings recorded were reduced asthma, relaxation, improved sleep and child/parent bonding.

 

Jenny's reputation for working with children using Reflexology was built. After many parents requested to learn how to use these techniques on their children, Jenny established Baby Reflex in 2005. Katie is now the owner and director of Baby Reflex, having taken over from Jenny after her retirement in 2017. She has continued to develop Baby Reflex and Toddlers to this day.

 

Wendy Finke has been practising Reflexology for 40 years and is the director and creator of Three Shires School of Reflexology, one of the earliest schools to be established in England. To date, she has taught hundreds of people the fantastic art of Reflexology and continues to practice now.

 

Wendy developed Tiny Toes and taught qualified reflexologists these gentle techniques to ease discomfort for Babies. Emma is now the director of Tiny Toes and, since 2018, has developed it further to include baby massage, now known as Baby Reflexage.

 

Before meeting each other, Katie and Emma ran successful baby training courses for qualified reflexologists and reflexology clinics for adults and children. Both loved their work and were very passionate about Reflexology on their own, but they were beginning to feel a little less inspired. They had so many ideas but needed someone to work with to achieve them. 

 

In early spring 2022, Emma and Katie decided to build a unified brand, creating The School of Calmology. 

 

As qualified reflexologists, mindfulness and Reiki teachers, Emma and Katie can guarantee you a high level of training. 

 

We really hope you enjoy exploring our courses and that you will become part of our journey.
