About us

Calming Influences

My name is Dr Jackie James, I am a complementary therapist and educator, and have a doctorate from The University of Portsmouth in Health Sciences, focussed on reflexology.

Calming influences was established in Southampton as a traditional holistic school in 2005, working with students in groups and also on an individual basis. Our first course was the Reflexology Diploma but we soon started offering  a range of additional courses including aromatherapy.

Today, we offer blended courses for qualified therapists, combining comprehensive online learning—complete with access to educational resources and instructional videos—with personalized assessments. These assessments are conducted either virtually via Zoom or in person at our treatment room in Bursledon, Southampton, ensuring tailored support throughout the learning process.

We are committed to delivering exceptional reflexology courses for qualified reflexologists through our online platform. Each course is designed to incorporate the latest evidence and best practices, ensuring that reflexologists not only enhance their clinical skills but also stay up to date with current research. Our goal is to provide a high-quality, engaging learning experience that supports professional growth and excellence in practice.
