The story of School of Calmology began with two inspirational reflexologists whose work has helped shape the gentle techniques used with babies and children today.
Jenny Lee, a Chartered Physiotherapist and Qualified Reflexologist, developed Baby Reflex. Following extensive research and pilot studies exploring the effects of reflexology on children with asthma, Jenny established Baby Reflex in 2005 after many parents asked to learn the techniques she used with their children. Katie became the owner and director of Baby Reflex in 2017 and has continued to develop the programme.

Wendy Finke, who has practised reflexology for over 40 years, is the founder of the Three Shires School of Reflexology. She developed Tiny Toes, teaching qualified reflexologists gentle reflexology techniques for babies. Emma became director of Tiny Toes and, since 2018, has developed the programme further to incorporate baby massage, now known as Baby Reflexage.

Katie and Emma both share a deep passion for working with babies, children and families. Before joining forces, they each ran successful training courses for reflexologists alongside their own reflexology practices. Emma is a qualified nurse, reflexologist & mindfulness teacher, bringing a strong healthcare background and many years of experience working with families and teaching practitioners. Katie is a qualified reflexologist, massage therapist, mindfulness teacher and Reiki teacher, with a professional background in learning and development, creating and delivering training courses and supporting people to develop their skills and confidence. In 2022, they brought their experience, ideas and passion together to create The School of Calmology.

Together, Katie and Emma bring a unique combination of professional training expertise, healthcare knowledge, reflexology, massage, mindfulness and Reiki. Their aim is to create high-quality, practical and inspiring training that gives practitioners the knowledge and confidence to support babies, toddlers, children and families. We believe in sharing knowledge, nurturing confidence and helping practitioners bring calm, connection and positive touch into the lives of families.
