Only CAREA Academies, who are all graded as ‘Centres of Excellence’ have a Licence to Teach these 3 exceptional treatment techniques.
Learning these 3 techniques makes the Duopody Reflexologist exceptional too and notably recognisable for their expertise.
These 3 treatments will be the foundation, the base for your treatments, but there is still more knowledge and treatment skills to learn as you will explore ancient healing methodologies e.g. from Chinese Medicine and the meridians and how they, like body systems, can be reflected on the feet, plus understanding the Organ Clock and how that information will help inform your evidence-based treatment planning.

NEPIP includes the study of psychology in Health and Illness and explores the power of thought and its effect on the physical body and mind processes. Its focus is on what happens to our body and mind when we are stressed. This amazing technique treats the body systems that are most involved in stress responses and how to help our clients/patients cope with life and all that it regularly throws at us. The person receiving the treatment becomes involved in activating their own healing processes, allowing them the opportunity to safely release long (or short) held beliefs that may have been restricting their physical and mental wellbeing. A remarkable treatment and graduates from the Licenced CAREA Academies, often specialise in ‘Stress Management’ as NEPIP Practitioners.
Duopody is a two feet and two handed technique that reflects anatomical systems accurately and takes the best of earlier techniques and moves reflexology forward and to a higher level than ever before.
Duopodists / Duopody Reflexologists are able to use evidence based methods to achieve optimum outcomes for the study clients when you are a student. This means you have a ready made practice when you graduate as the majority of study clients are amazed at the outcomes, especially if they have had other forms of reflexology previously. Duopody is supported by the world renowned Podycharts textbook which is a series of precise anatomical reflection of all the body systems, and this together with Duopody has propelled the acceptance of Duopody reflexology into the realms of other Health Practices, including the NHS.
Duopody is not only amazingly effective for clients! Because the Practitioner works both feet simultaneously means they do not overwork their thumbs, fingers or hands, and do not experience postural issues (as many reflexologists do who work one foot at a time) as they are ‘centred’ The outcome is that if you really love being a reflexology practitioner, you will be able to do it for as long as you want to, without having to give up because of overworked joints or similar!
Duopody is the reflexology technique for the future and is already a part of a Complementary Therapy module for Doctors studying for a Masters Degree in Pain Management, not to learn the technique, but to understand how and why it works and so they can refer to a Duopody Reflexologist as an alternative for management of pain. Integrative Medicine working between Health Professionals and in this instance between Doctors and Duopodists! Studying on a qualification that includes Integrative Medicine is also to learn and understand how to empower your study clients / clients in beneficial health and lifestyle practices.
But Duopody is just the beginning of the story when you learn at a CAREA Centre of Excellence, as there are two more exclusive reflexology treatments that are a part of the CAREA Matrix:
CALM treatments move away from the clinical and evidenced based Duopody and NEPIP treatments as the treatment is for those who are at end of life, or have life limiting illness. The focus moves from helping activate the body’s innate ability to heal and the reflexologist ‘tunes into’ and engages with the persons identified highs and lows of energy and gently, redistributes any energetic imbalances. A very beautiful treatment and one that recipients report as bringing about ‘a great sense of peace’ and ‘feeling of serenity’. Licenced CAREA Academies all encourage student reflexologists to be both scientific and intuitive practitioners. The Integrated Medicine approach that really does recognise The Body, the Mind and their Energetic properties.
