How complicated is it to learn to walk? brush your
teeth? comb your hair? pick or blow your nose? climb a tree? nurse
a baby? suck the teat? learn to walk? chew your food? Right! Those
are activities that we can learn with very little help and with
enough practice are able to perform it automatically. Such is
reflexology.

Utilizing this innate ability is the philosophy
behind MIR's Home Study ReflexoCure Program. Learning to give
a reflexology treatment to others is similar to scratching an
itch on your own body. You first get the feel of how long and
how hard to scratch the skin on yourself. Then you can scratch
someone else's back or feet or scalp. This scratching action creates
a bio electric reflex stimulus within the body. Learning to scratch
just comes naturally; instinctively; intuitively.
This ability springs out of what Barbara and
Kevin Kunz identify as a reflexology archetype (a genetic encoding
found in the universal unconscious mind: Jung). Zachary believes
the animal kingdom was designed with a reflex system that benefits
from a rub or a scratch or a pinch or a poke; which is initiated
by an innate response (an intuitive directive) to an internal
need of the body. He believes Garden of Eden ReflexoCure (reflexology)
occurs automatically when walking barefoot on the rocks and sand.
Not everyone will need Tutoring due to the availability
of videos, audio's, books, written lessons and the 100 hours of
practicum required for completion of the Home Study ReflexoCure
(reflexology) Course. If tutoring or coaching is needed, then
it can be accomplished via Email; telephone; letter; fax; on campus
in Lakewood; through Graduate Tutors; and/or aboard the Transcontinental
Classroom (when it is available
on the road). Charges for a personal tutor are $25/half-hour.
That is less than a 1/2 hour treatment in Lakewood, Colorado.

The Division of Private Occupational Schools
Board gave a favorable nod when presented with the Institute's
Reflexology Tutorial program. A tutor can be a student or graduate
that coaches under the authority of a professor. Dr.
Brinkerhoff (a state credentialed occupational Reflexology
instructor) has given Tutorship authority to Dr. Richard Long
and other qualified graduates scattered around the USA and in
some select foreign countries. In special cases he can assign
an advanced student to tutor when necessary.
Why sit through time consuming classes when the
information may not even be pertinent to reflexology. Your place
of learning are those feet, hands and ears that come to you for
help. Lets not complicate a simple, archetypal, intuitive
method of reflexological stimulation which releases photo-bioelectricity;
which the body uses to help heal and maintain itself.
That scratch, that dig, that gouge on a place
that may tingle, itch or radiate unexplained pain on a point ...
this is a call to do ReflexoCure to yourself. Yes, you do it every
day in one form or another. These natural ReflexoCure (reflexology)
techniques are not complicated to learn and neither are the INSTITUTE's
methods which are designed to facilitate helping others. That
is what MIR's Home Study ReflexoCure
Program is all about.
Both Students
& Graduates came to the old MIR Campus for Tutoring. Now they attend the new 3,600' facility at
4086 Youngfield, Wheat Ridge, CO.
The INSTITUTE has invited certain MIR Graduates
into a ReflexoCure Tutorship Status to aid new students that need
help grasping the Full Spectrum Reflexology concepts. Here is
an example of the enthusiastic response exhibited by graduates
to the new Tutorial Program:

"My MIR Tutorship appointment is indeed
a nice surprise and an honor. I would be delighted to help students
in this way; as it can be intimidating not to have much hands-on
time with instructors. I think this is a great move on the part
of the INSTITUTE. I have also been contacted by one of the local
educational institutions to possibly teach a class. The local
hospital wants me to do a series of lectures based on diseases;
and show some helpful reflex techniques that can be done at home.
"I am now in the process of getting my case
studies and professional letters assembled in an application packet;
in order to advance my certification to the Professional Level.
It will take a little while as I build up capitol, but it will
happen.
"I am also excited by the new IPEDS CIP
51.9999 transition code. This is a great step to get us away from
association with massage therapy and into our own reflexology
entity. I have educated many, many people with free 10 minute
demos at the chiropractors office about the benefits of reflexology;
and they are constantly telling me about their massage therapists
and nail technicians doing what they call reflexology. In most
cases (from my point of view) they are only rubbing the feet.
"I have about 90 clients now and that is
building all the time. Even though my rates are low because of
client demographics, I am making a living and loving it. Hope
all is well with Rachel and you. Peace to all." DAVE PATTERSON.
(NOTE: In May of 2004 the Commonwealth of
Delaware told Dave to report his qualifications for his practice
of reflexology because he had been operating with no city or state
license. After reviewing his MIR Certificates of training and
other supporting documents the inspector gave his nod of approval
to the Delaware Board of Massage Therapy and Bodywork. The DBMTBW
granted Dave a "massage therapy technician" license
which then allowed him to freely practice his reflexology occupation.)

Many folks who visit this Website hesitate to
take on the learning process; after so many years away from the
books. But we have made it easy with Open Book Questions! We have
made it fun with Tutoring. And as we have plainly shown ... ReflexoCure
(reflexology) is an instinctive
natural activity. So prayerfully consider your conscience
and then follow your inner heart as you seek to make a decision
about the role of reflexology in your life: could it be my vocation
or avocation? "Should I begin with the Starter
Kit? Or go with the Home
Study Package now?"
"Have the courage to follow
your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know
what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary."

Budding Reflexologist:
Vanessa
McKinney
Dear Dr. Brinkerhoff,
I wish to thank you for looking into this matter of my lost
order. On Thursday, November 29, 2007 I did finally receive
my Reflexologist Log Book. The zip code seemed to have been
wrong. However, I am delighted and have given it a grand searching
because I am so very anxious to begin filling its pages with
my many cases. (I have a friend who insisted I give reflexology
treatments to her child who suffers from sickle cell disease.
On the past two occassions that I have been privledged to assist
in her care, she has avoided hospitalization.)
I am but a “budding reflexologist” and have found
a reflexology course locally that I am hopeful to take in the
spring of 2008. In the meantime, I am interested in purchasing
some other reflexologic items in the coming months from your
Institute, and only wish that I lived in Colorado so that I
could get some of your specialized Tutoring. Nonetheless, I
am determined to do all that I can from afar to tap into the
golden nuggets of learning from your Institute. Each time that
I log on to your Website I feel the inspiration that I have
come into my ‘niche’ -- and found what I am supposed
to be doing.
I have been a Nurse Assistant (now classified
as ICU Technician) since 1995. I have only cared for critical
care or acute care patients. So for me, reflexology introduced
a new methodology into my spectrum of care which I was able
to offer to patients. A way to relieve and sometimes aleviate
painful prognosis (in some cases pallative care prognosis/end
of life care).
I am now to a point, as the healthcare system
I work for FINALLY takes a more proactive holistic care approach,
where I can obtain credentials and schooling and be somewhat
respected by the physicians and nurses that I work with (you
are very silly - Zach the Quack? No Indeed!) as my hospital
is finally recognizing alternative therapies as viable care
options and hiring staff personel specialized in holistic pathways.
(AT LAST!!!)
When my brother was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma many
of the medications side effects were more harmful to his system
than the disease process itself. But now, through reflexology,
herbology, and relaxation therapy methods (that I have sort
of “self taught” myself through books), I can
finally see him receiving relief. Now he boasts to other patients
and friends about these “miracles of treatment.”
I have such great respect and admiration for the healing art
of reflexology. In fact, my two year old son enjoys it so much
that when I am home from work he insists upon his "flexology".
Anyway, thank you for giving ear to all my words.
Take great care of yourself.
Sincerely,
Vanessa A. McKinney, Budding Reflexologist

Tutor Glenn Britton demonstrates the Foot Joint, Micro alignment,
Reflex Technique Procedure. This 90 degree pull helps correct
the position of the ankle bones: which opens the flow of
the photo-bioelectric energy of the animal frame. These
are reflex techniques from which spontaneous healing has
been observed to occur.

School. "When I am deported back to Columbia I am going
to start a little ReflexoCurist Clinic and help many people,"
explained Jairo. "I am so honored you came to visit
me in prison." I talked with Jairo's fellow prisoners
that day and they all testified to his 'unofficial' work
in reflexology. Nothing but positive for Jairo: he graduated
with honors. |

Tutor Dr. Josef Eugster teaches Dr. Brinkerhoff his famous
knuckle technique at a meeting in Alna, ME. It was the
two men's first opportunity to meet and it was fun. Dr.
Eugster really liked the Percus-O-Matic 'jackhammer' applied
to his K1. After a treatment and lunch in the Big Bus
Josef stated ... "I am going to send all the handicap
people (who apply to my USA classes) to your school."
Conversely, Zachary recommends that M.I.R. Graduates take
at least one of Dr. Josef's classes.

Tutor Kerry Tolbert has a dedicated room in his home for
his reflexology practice. "Dr. Brinkerhoff came all
the way to Birmingham to Tutor me when I was first learning
reflexology, so I am more than happy to help others students
of the INSTITUTE as a Tutor Graduate. I was particularly
pleased that my Tutoring on the second visit included a
special prayer for myself." |
MIR
Tutor Mary Marshall, RN, is intent on helping other students
of reflexology get the desired "hands on experience"
that is so important for that polishing needed to become
