In June 1998 Lynne was awarded an ART (Advanced Reflexology Techniques) Fellowship for services to reflexology and has also conducted a VRT seminar for 150 members of the Association of Reflexologists at the Commonwealth Institute in London. In 1998 she presented a paper and demonstrated VRT at the Third European Conference of Reflexology at Tampere, Finland and in 2000 at the Denmark European Conference she presented a workshop to the Danish School of Reflexologists. In 2002 she spoke at international conferences in South Africa, Australia and the UK. In January 2003 she taught eight VRT courses in four South African cities.In May 2003 Lynne was the keynote speaker at the Canadian Reflexology Association Conference in Winnipeg where she also presented three VRT courses, and also spoke at the ICR Conference in Jamaica and ran a Basic course for the Jamaican Reflexology Association. In May 2004 she presented at the Reflexology Association of Conference in Nashville and ran VRT courses in the USA and will do so again in October 2005.  As well as running her practice, sports clinic and nursing home clinic, Lynne teaches VRT workshops in the UK and internationally. She has demonstrated and discussed VRT on various radio and television programmes in the UK and abroad.  She is the best-selling author of Vertical Reflexology (now in its third reprint) and in June 2003 the companion book,  Vertical Reflexology for Hands, was published.

Lynne discovered Reflex Vertical Therapy (VRT) while working on orthopaedic problems associated with the elderly. She has subsequently developed and extended this technique to cover all age groups and conditions and has developed a short comprehensive treatment that involves her new techniques and conventional reflexology. The Daily Telegraph, Here's Health, Positive Health,Sunday Express and Sunday Times and many   other newspapers, magazines and  professional journals have featured articles on VRT and over 80 articles have been published in the UK and abroad. Her best-selling book Vertical Reflexology (Published by Piatkus £12.99) maps out original foot charts depicting new, and deeper, reflexes that are manifest when the foot is weight-bearing. It is a best-seller and has already been reprinted three times. Her new book Vertical Reflexology for Hands which features the new VRT nail-working was published in June  2003.  Synergistic Reflexology and allied techniques, where hand and foot reflexes are worked simultaneously, was developed as an extension of VRT but can be equally applied to conventional reflexology. Lynne's books have been, or are in the process of being, translated into Dutch, Czech, Japanese, Russian and Portuguese for Brazil.
