of Reflexologists Ireland (NRRI). The

After
studying for her degree in Pharmaceutical Science, Lorna began her career in
the pharma industry working in areas such as New Product Development and
Research for large pharmaceutical companies. She has always had an interest in
Natural Medicine and Complementary healing going back to her college days and
the study of pharmacology.
The origins
of our global pharmaceutical industry stem from the most basic of plant life
that are then synthetically mass produced for their benefit to the healthcare
industry. This has of course regulated the way illness is treated clinically
but along the way holistic care has been lost in many areas of conventional
medicine. This is why after many years of working in the pharma industry Lorna
took a step back and decided to explore other avenues of healthcare.
With her
scientific roots and a need to find a complementary therapy with robust
research behind its efficacy Lorna decided to focus on Reflexology. She
completed her Diploma with Distinction through the well respected Irish school
of Reflexology under the tutorship of Tatiana Grosso and Sr. Brega Whelan.
Lorna completed
further training in the areas of Women’s health through the London Academy of
Reflexology with Hagar Basis and has gone on to complete continuous
professional development training in Maternity and Fertility Reflexology
through the Obus School of healing therapies.
Lorna continues to upgrade her qualifications
to ensure she is using the best techniques that will yield the best results.
