Any type of business that offers a relationship between a practitioner and an individual that is seeking the service should be concerned with ethics. Ethics are a type of code for businesses to follow in order to ensure that their relationships with those that they are providing for are honest and helpful to all parties. In this article, we’ll go over some of the basics of the American Reflexology Certification Board’s code of ethics so that you can get a better feel for some of the things that a reflexologist needs to do in order to ensure that their practice is running as well as it should be.
One important thing to consider when you are participating in a practitioner/client relationship is the confidentiality aspect. As a reflexologist, you should avoid ever giving someone information about your clients as well as avoiding discussing anything that has been said between you and your patients. In this way, you can enjoy a more complete trust relationship which is important for any type of business similar to reflexology.
Another thing that is stressed in the code of ethics is the belief that you need to continue to work towards advancing your skills in the field of reflexology as often as you can. Stay up to date with new terminologies and techniques in order to ensure that you can give your clients the utmost of advanced care in terms of reflexology. Do your best to attend conferences and classes regarding reflexology and you will find that you are more suited when it comes to answering questions about the practice that your clients may have. Also, the more qualifications and certifications that you have, the more likely a client will be to initially trust you. Clients are able to tell when you are telling the truth and when you are making things up in order to appease them – you should know that and work towards learning the answers to any types of questions that your clients may have before they even ask them. To that end, you may want to ask some of your friends about some of the questions that they may have about reflexology so that you can get a basic idea of what types of things to study in order to prove your professionalism to a client.
Adhering to a code of ethics is important for any business. Also, one thing that you need to understand is that ethics is universal when it comes to the employees of a practice – if you run a reflexology clinic with other people, you need to ensure that they all adhere to the same ethics in order to provide the best possible service for your clients that will keep them coming back. The twelfth rule in the code of ethics is that you need to ensure that all of the individuals that work in the same clinic as you follow the code of ethics as well. One person can ruin the ethics of a company on their own, so be sure to pay specific attention to all of the individuals that you employ in order to keep your clinic as ethical as it can be.
