It was deemed by many to be the best ICR conference to date with no fewer than three medical doctors as presenters. Interesting presentations were also given by Pauline Wills (Colour Reflexology), Father Josef from Taiwan and Moss Arnold (Chi Reflexology). Doctor Anthony Vendryes from Jamaica is a world renowned medical doctor, naturopath, author and speaker. He has his own radio programme and his clinic employs numerous complementary therapists as well as medical practitioners. He was a totally fascinating and charismatic speaker who take about holistic medicine and healing of the body through nutrient and other methods. I gave a hour presentation on VRT and also ran a VRT workshop at the conference. VRT was well received by the delegates especially when the knee of one of the Jamaican reflexology committee totally freed up during a five minute demonstration. The lady ran up and down the stairs of the conference platform showing off her new mobility to cheers from all the audience! Conferences are for networking and it was fascinating to have time to talk and learn from fellow reflexologists and meet therapists whose training and background was so different from my own.AUSTRALIA CONFERENCE AND COURSES October - November 2002 Lynne was the international speaker at the Reflexology Association of Australia Conference in Melbourne on 19 and 20 October 2002.

Françoise is a French national who lives in the UK but regularly travels to France to teach and is available to run VRT courses for regional reflexology groups and schools. SOUTH AFRICA CONFERENCE AND COURSES March 14th - 24th 2002 This was a fascinating and successful trip where Lynne Booth had the privilege to meet, teach and work with highly professional reflexologists in Durban and Cape Town. Lynne also spoke at the South African Reflexology Society Conference at Gauteng, Johannesburg On each course, and at the conference, several therapists reported immediate improvements in various conditions including three cases of instant relief on a knee, neck and a hip problem. Many reflexologists were able to obtain similar results after VRT tuition. Perhaps VRT works even better in the Southern Hemisphere! The conference, attended by over 170 delegates, was extremely well organised and took place in the idyllic surroundings of the Misty Hills Conference Centre from 22 to 24 March and featured the renowned speaker Hanne Marquardt. Hanne is a truly inspirational speaker and dedicated reflexologist with 44 years experience. She is a true pioneer and mentor to reflexologists throughout the world and I would encourage all to obtain her book "Reflexology of the Feet". See her website: www.fussreflex.de or e-mail marquardt@aol.com. VRT was featured on radio interviews, a health journal and both South African Sunday newspapers have commissioned articles on vertical reflexology. A transcript of Lynne's interview with Monica Fairall on SABC 'Pursuit of Health' programmes can be found at http://www.safm.co.za/transcripts/index.cfm .
