After studying Pharmaceutical Science At The University of Greenwich in London, Lorna began her career in the pharmaceutical industry in England. She worked in research and new product development for large pharmaceutical companies. This was very interesting work and provided a wonderful platform to expand her knowledge of formulation and how the industry works however she has always had an interest in natural medicine and complementary healing. Going back to her university days a subject favourite was the history of pharmacology. This was where the curiosity began.

The origins of our global pharmaceutical industry stem from the most basic of plant life that is now synthetically mass-produced for their benefit to the healthcare sector. This has regulated the way illness is treated clinically, but along the way some of the 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 study and healthcare. She firmly believes that conventional medicine and complementary medicine work very well in unison. She has enjoyed many complementary therapies through the years for her own well-being.

With her scientific roots and a need to find a complementary therapy with some research behind its efficacy, Lorna decided to focus on Traditional Reflexology. This was the therapy that she had benefited from most over the years. It was whilst working with children in a special educational needs setting that Lorna could really see the benefit that this therapy could offer to all children as well as adults. She completed her diploma with distinction through the well-respected Irish school of Reflexology and Wellness (ISR&W) at Dublin City University, under the tutorship of Principle Tatiana Grosso and Sr. Brega Whelan in 2018. Lorna currently assists with tutoring students at the Irish School of Reflexology in their application of Traditional Foot Reflexology. She enjoys passing on her skills and helping others to learn the technique.

Since 2019 Lorna has been working with a local mental health support charity called HOPE(D), (Helping Other People Escape Depression). Here along with a team of psychotherapists, counsellors, and holistic therapists she helps clients, using reflexology, who are going through a difficult period in their lives. The treatment room provides a safe space for all clients to speak about how they are feeling or to just be in the moment. The hands on non-invasive therapy allows the body and mind to rest and heal. Often a person has not had any human touch for some time. This in itself is a very supporting and nurturing part of their recovery. Reflexology can truly benefit people as a mental health support.

Lorna provides onsite wellness reflexology services to the corporate sector. Having worked in this setting for many years she is familiar with the benefits it can provide to employees within a very busy work environment. For more information and to discuss your requirements please email. Services provided to micro, small, medium and large corporations.

Since graduating Lorna has been completing CPD training to focus on specific protocols for her clients. Professional training is a very important part of ensuring that good clinical practice is upheld. It is also required by recognised reflexology associations in order to maintain membership and accreditation. Lorna has trained over the last few years with industry leaders in the field of reflexology. She continues to upgrade her qualifications to ensure she is using the best techniques that will yield the best results. Lorna is a believer in education and learning. The more we know, the more we can help ourselves.
