1. This definition is correct.
2. This sentence is correct. The meaning is essentially: many people don't know what reflexology is. That is: they haven't read about it; they haven't heard it described by people or on television; they haven't seen it demonstrated in person or on tv. The "heard" in "heard of" does not necessarily mean actual hearing. The knowledge about reflexology
