| Income Potential for Reflexologists |
Income potential for a reflexology practice is increasing all the time. U.S. Census Bureau figures show that touch therapies including reflexology increased from 5 to 8.34 percent of American consumers in a five year period. This shows a more than 60 percent increase in demand for services in economic climates than have been less than ideal.
Your reflexology practice can be expanded at any time based on your changing financial needs and willingness to work to build your client base. All it takes is dedication to the marketing principles students learn as part of their professional certification training with the Thomacine Haywood Reflexology program.
Depending on the economic climate of the area where a reflexologist chooses to locate his or her practice, the average range of a typical reflexology session can earn anywhere from $25-$75 or more per session. These amounts are based on reports from graduates located in many states and national averages.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) includes reflexology in a broader category of bodywork services that include massage. According to the BLS, therapists including reflexologists can expect to make an average full-time annual salary of $39,760 as of May, 2009.
The top 10 percent of therapists made over $68,670 while the lowest-paid 10 percent made an annual salary of under $17,270. For those working part time or on an hourly pay scale, the average pay as of May 2009 was $19.31 per hour, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Most graduates of the professional reflexology training certification with Thomacine Haywood Reflexology decide to go into independent private practice. They enjoy the freedom and benefits of being self-employed and being their own boss. This gives them the freedom and flexibility of setting their own work schedule around family or other commitments and gives them ample time to enjoy their relationships and interests.
Likewise many enjoy the possible tax breaks running a small business gives them. They also enjoy the challenge of deciding how to organize and market their practice and the independence of calling the shots.
To understand the income potential of the typical reflexology practice you could use this scenario. If a reflexologist wished to work 1-2 days a week and sees seven clients a week for 50 weeks of the year (two week vacation is encouraged here) at the rate of $60 per session, the reflexologist could gross $21,000 annually. This is part-time of one to two days a week.
The income potential for even part-time work is substantial.
Some of our graduates choose to work for someone else and this is still a viable choice whether the reflexologist decides to work full or part-time.
