First reflexology, then mani/pedi (cause I love, love LOVE them) then reiki, if I was choosing for a sub to learn.

I wish you much luck!! :) Have fun!

Status: offline 		I think, for me-- the most important for a sub to learn would be mani/pedicures......... my nails need attention every couple of weeks and it sure is wonderful to have a sub that can do them.

Second in importance to me would be reflexology.  That is a fabulous service to be able to offer.

And then Reiki-- not least in importance at all.  I have been a Reiki Master/Teacher for several years and have found that it is a service that anyone can do with no prep-- and on a moments notice.

Status: offline 		Of the three mani/pedi would be most important but only because I already have reflexology covered in droves.  Bonus if you could do acrylics.  If you are serving a woman another on the list would be learning the fine art of waxing.  That is not as simple as it may sound.  Different waxes are best on different skin types and areas, you have to know how to shape and how to pull with as little pain as possible.  Hair and skin care would be high on my list for personal service also.

I would be interested imthatacheyouhav if you could tell me where you learned/ found reference material to learn mani/pedi.

Manicure/pedicure.  Keep in mind that all of these require some intensive work....

Much depends upon who you wind up serving. 
 
Reflexology is often taught in Adult Education classes within many School Districts where I've lived.  I learned much of what I know through a book titled "The Family Guide to Reflexology" (© 1998, ISBN 0-316-31484-6) written by Ann Gillanders.  It has excellent maps of the feet and hands.  It's easy to read and understand, especially for one who is familiar with the body, how it's muscles and organs work, as would be the case with those trained in massage. 
 
The author has written a number of books on the subject and this is the one that I normally refer to when I quickly need to refresh my memory.  There's much more that can be learned to help with specific problems, but IMO this is a very good start for anyone who wants to learn about reflexology.  Best of all, all you need is someone with two feet to practice on.
 
As you probably know, using reflexology, one can relax the entire body and also treat problems with internal organs by only touching the feet or the hands.  However, in my experience, I've not had a lot of success with the hands and only focus on the feet and ankles which I've learned are generally far more responsive.  Plus, I also have a foot fetish so tend to do what comes naturally to me, thus Mistress gets the best of both foot worship combined with reflexology.

I would have to go in reverse order. Mani/pedi first. I love to be pampered, I'm very much a girly girl. I haven't had time to get my nails done in 2 weeks and the ability to have it done while I'm studying at any hour would be much more enjoyable than having to go to the salon and wait for them to finish whomever they overbooked with. My last 2 appointments I had to walk out on because they had taken walk ins between appointments Grrrr. (rant over)

I would add in massage second, then reflexology and then reiki. Being able to come home and have a spa day at home would be more relaxing than any day at an away spa personally. Yummy! Congratulations of being proactive and studying something that will add to your ability to serve.

Status: offline 		Thank you Pixel. It seems the tally is being led by mani/pedi. Unless we have further input, then that is the direction I shall follow. Has anyone information on books by where I could learn? I have found some internet sources and am seeking to enhance my options.

Status: offline 		For me:
#1: mani/pedi as it is needed often, and appreciated if really well done.
#2: massage therapy and not just reflexology, as it is a limited medium and not appreciated by me nearly as much as being an expert at massage therapy in a lot of other forms. I know and am expert at 5 different methods. Reflex is not my fave by a long shiot.
#3 Reiki, I am a level 2, and did it when it first hit the states, so long ago it's just sad! lol. I really believe if your heart is in the right place, GOOD professionals can unlock the healing potential in your hands, if it is there, and you can flourish on your own from there.

I think the schools you pick, and the instructors are very important! I cannot stress that enough and bad schools are just a complete waste of your time and money.

Have fun! The healing arts provide you with an opportunity to meet some really wonderful people, as well as an opportunity to make money and be more of an asset for your your family for your entire life. These skills will be worth 100 times the cost of an excellent school over a lifetime.

It is really hard to pick just one, but I think the reflexology would be the best course.
Then of course take the manicure/pedicure course.
