Waltraud Nikkel MCSRI, RCRT, RN (Germany)
Waltraud Nikkel is a Certified Reflexologist trained in a wide range of reflexology treatments. With more than 20 years experience, she believes the essence of reflexology is about restoring, supporting and maintaining wellness in the body. As a result, her practice philosophy is focused on employing the most advanced therapeutic reflexology techniques while grounding her approach in her clinical training as a medical professional.
During her preparation to practice reflexology, Waltraud sought out the most respected reflexology practitioners for training and mentoring. As a result she was taught by world-leading reflexologists including Dr. Martine Faure-Alderson (England), the originator of cranio-sacral reflexology therapy; Hanne Marquardt (Germany), a leading global expert in reflexotherapy; Angela Sellens Drake (England), instructor for facial reflexology; Dr.Manzanares M.D. (Spain) and Dorthe Krogsgaard and Peter Lund Frandsen (Denmark), both world renowned authorities in reflexology.
In 2018 Waltraud earned her Diploma in Nerve Reflexology in 2018 under Nico Pauly (Belgium).
Previous to her reflexology training, Waltraud practiced as a registered nurse in her home country of Germany. This medical foundation ensures her approach to reflexology is firmly grounded in evidence-based outcomes and the best practices available within the field of reflexology today. Her practice is in constant advancement as she develops individualized treatment plans for her clients and continues to advance her skills through continuing education in North America and Europe.

About Reflexology
Reflexology treats the body as a whole: restoring balance and equilibrium while reducing stress.
Because reflexology is a non-invasive treatment, sensitive areas of the body can be activated to set the healing process into motion. Injured areas of the body can be too painful for treatment through direct contact. Reflexology accesses the injury through reflex points which increases circulation—leading the healing process from within.
Through supporting the wellness of the entire body, reflexology complements other courses of treatment including, but not limited to, chiropractic, therapeutic massage and physiotherapy. Patients may also seek reflexology to work cooperatively with naturopathic, homeopathic as well as traditional and conventional medical treatments as it bolsters the body’s ability to benefit from other healing modalities.
How does reflexology work?
Reflexology works on a correlation principle:
- The entire human body is represented by correlating reflex points on the other areas of the body, such as the face, feet or hands.
- Working these reflex points stimulates corresponding parts of the body.
- The corresponding parts of the body then experience change and healing
Reflexology used a specific methodology called “touch palpitation.” Touch palpation is a gentle examination that is used to determine the condition of the body and guide the practitioner in his or her treatment planning. A skilled practitioner will use pressure points, massage techniques, gentle touch and manipulation to restore balance to the body.
Reflexology benefits
Everyone can benefit from reflexology: from infants to children, adults to elderly. Reflexology promotes healing from within and seeks to address the core issues underlying many illnesses, such as stress and chronic conditions. As a mother or four children and former registered nurse, Waltraud enjoys working even with very young children because she has seen the changes before and after treatment with a wide range of concerns. Parents report that pediatric clients truly enjoy treatment, not only due to the comfortable, non-threatening environment, but also because the children can feel the improvement.
