What are the legalities of practicing reflexology in California?
California does not require state certification or licensure of reflexologists. Each city or county decides on their own business license requirements. RAC doesn’t determine whether you can practice reflexology or not, but works to support our members’ right to practice as a separate discipline and provides current information about our profession. RAC has been involved with legislation at the State level for years, working toward exemption for reflexology if a statewide massage law is passed. In general, practitioners in California are able to work in the State under the Senate Bill California Health Freedom Act – SB577. There is a copy of the bill and a Disclaimer Form on our web site under Legislation. www.reflexology-ca.org/legislation.htm This information is available so that reflexologists can share it with the city or county when applying for a business license. It is not a guarantee, but may make a difference under which category you are licensed. Being a member is not required
