About the School

The Bayly School of Reflexology was founded in 1978, by the late Doreen Bayly, and was the first reflexology training school to be established in Great Britain.

Doreen Bayly introduced reflexology to the UK in the 1960’s, on behalf of Eunice Ingham, and was considered by many to have been the pioneer of reflexology in this country.

The Bayly School is the official teaching body of The British Reflexology Association and, over the years, has been responsible for training thousands of students.

Since 1980, Nicola Hall, who trained with Doreen Bayly, has run The Bayly School of Reflexology.

Testimonials

“Nicola has provided an extremely professional, in-depth and thorough reflexology training course for over 40 years, covering over and above the requirements of the core curriculum for reflexology. She has dedicated her working life to the advancement of the profession and written many insightful books on the subject. She is one of the pioneers of reflexology in the UK, progressing the Bayly technique developed by Doreen Bayly and set up the British Reflexology Association, one of the first professional associations for practitioners in the UK. Her knowledge on reflexology is second to none!”

Sally, Shropshire
“Having the option to learn in person was perfect and despite the long drive from Surrey to Worcester, attending The Bayly School of Reflexology was definitely worth it! The in-person format allowed me to ask questions, particularly about anatomy, which I often struggle with. The explanations given face-to-face significantly enhanced my understanding.Each module was studied thoroughly, with a small test conducted before moving on to the next module. This structured approach ensured a deep comprehension of each subject area. Although I purchased many more books, I found myself constantly returning to my study material for answers to my questions as a practitioner. The resources provided were comprehensive and practical.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed training with the Bayly School of Reflexology and can highly recommend it. As a registered nurse with many years of experience I was especially impressed by the depth of teaching in anatomy and physiology. Nicola makes herself available to offer support or advice if needed both during the course and following qualification. “

Lizzie, Worcestershire
“I would highly recommend studying reflexology with Nicola Hall at the Bayly School of Reflexology. Nicola’s wide experience and deep knowledge of reflexology really comes through both in the theoretical/anatomical part and in the practical part of the course; and it truly makes you feel like you’re in the best possible place. Nicola is firm but very encouraging, welcoming, non-judgmental and accommodating.“

Francesca, Hampshire
“The Refresher Day was a great opportunity to go back over theory and practice with support and guidance from Nicola. There was time to ask questions and we were able to discuss specific areas in which we were particularly interested. The practical session enabled us to check our technique and treatment procedure. I came home inspired and keen to get on with the task of setting up in practice. Thank you Nicola.”
