Enhancing Treatment Outcomes: Tuning Forks in Reflexology

A one day AoR Approved CPD course for Level 3 and Level 5 Reflexologists

Delivered by Karen Smith for Jubilee College

Reflexology is already a powerful therapy in its own right. Tuning forks simply offer another gentle layer, bringing sound, vibration and nervous system support into the treatment space in a way that can feel deeply calming and restorative for clients.

This practical one-day course will show you how to safely and confidently integrate four weighted tuning forks into your existing reflexology treatments, creating a deeply relaxing and bespoke Tuning Forks in Reflexology experience that works beautifully alongside the skills you already have.

Whether you are completely new to tuning forks or already curious about sound and vibration, this course is designed to feel practical, grounded - and easy to integrate into your existing reflexology practice.

What you will explore during the day:

This is a hands-on, experiential course where you will both give and receive treatment. You will discover the science behind sound and vibration in a way that feels accessible and relevant to reflexology practice. We will explore how stress, tension and nervous system overload can create patterns of “dissonance” within the body, and how the vibration of weighted tuning forks may help encourage relaxation, regulation, and balance. You will also learn why the feet are such a powerful surface for sound work and how tuning forks can deepen the reflexology experience without overcomplicating your treatments.

Throughout the day you will:

• Work practically with all four weighted tuning forks on the feet
• Explore key acupressure points • Use tuning forks alongside reflexology techniques
• Learn how sound can support grounding, relaxation, lymphatic flow and energetic balance
• Explore chakra balancing through the foot reflex map
• Begin building a bespoke Tuning Fork in Reflexology treatment that reflects your own style and the needs of your clients

Your four weighted tuning forks

This course works with four specific weighted tuning forks, which you will purchase before attending, a lasting investment in your professional toolkit.

Otto 128 Hz

Your most versatile fork. Applied to reflex points across the feet and lower legs. Research suggests it may stimulate nitric oxide release in under 30 seconds, supporting deep relaxation, pain modulation, and joint mobility.

Otto 64 Hz

One octave lower, a slower, deeper vibration. Profoundly grounding and calming, particularly supportive for the autonomic nervous system, stress reduction and emotional overwhelm.

Otto 32 Hz

The gentlest of the three Otto forks. Typically moved slowly along the lymphatic and circulatory reflexes rather than held static. Deeply soothing, nurturing, and regulating.

OM 136.10 Hz

Derived from the calculated frequency of the Earth’s orbit around the sun. Warm, resonant, and deeply settling. Beautiful on the solar plexus and heart reflexes and often used as an opening or closing hold within treatment.

You will also need:

• A rubber activator puck
• A soft storage pouch for your forks (generally supplied with forks)

Full details of what to purchase, along with recommended suppliers, will be sent after booking, giving you plenty of time to source everything before the course day.
