Reflexology in Europe Network (RIEN) Conference
I was both privileged and honoured to be asked to speak at the recent Reflexology in Europe Network Conference in Eindhoven, Holland during May. Privileged because I got to hear some amazing speakers and honoured because I got to speak about my work which was greatly appreciated by all the delegates. An impressive turnout of 200 delegates in person and 100 online made for a real community occasion as reflexologists from all over Europe swapped stories and shared techniques.
I want to thank the organisers from BEVO and VNRT for their fantastic efforts, in particular Tamara, Didier, Ingrid and Diana for seamlessly hosting an awesome event.
I gave a talk on Men’s Health – a passion of mine as you may be aware – and how we should be looking to bring in more men to the clinic rooms as well as into the profession. This invited comments and suggestions from the audience and the feedback was tremendous.
The following day, I was fortunate enough to host a workshop on two occasions for delegates on Coronal Zone Reflex Therapy, introducing them to the basic concepts and techniques and leaving them with an appetite for wanting to know more.
Face-to-face conferences are so worth attending, online events can never replace the camaraderie you experience when you meet in person. Here’s to the next conference in 2027, which I believe is in Finland.

ICR Conference – Making Reflexology Mainstream
With the countdown definitely underway, and only a matter of weeks remaining, all our thoughts are turning towards the major event of the year – the ICR Conference in Athens this September. It is guaranteed to be an amazing occasion, not just because of the quality of speakers and presentations, but also because it will be the first opportunity in six years for professionals from all over the world to come together and be in each other’s company. I know I have missed many of my friends and look forward to just BEING there.
If you haven’t signed up already, do so now, check out the website and take advantage of the generous offers that the ICR is promoting in June, July and August. Recommend your colleagues and make it into a holiday experience as well!
I believe that we are at a crossroads in health care and health provision, regardless of where we live in the world. I envision that the ICR will be leaders in defining the role that reflexology can play in our health systems, by having our membership, go out and promote in their communities. The theme of our conference is Making Reflexology Mainstream – demonstrating ways in which reflexology can be placed on a higher platform. We are all pioneers spreading the message of the benefits of reflexology.
Come and join us in Greece to find out how you can take the message back home and make a difference where you live.
I look forward to seeing you all there!

Plans to Revisit Holland Feb 2026
Following on from the success of the RiEN Conference in Holland in May, I have been invited back to Holland next year by popular demand but this time to teach Coronal Zone Reflex Therapy for two days. Plans are underway and once the details have been finalised, I will post more. The proposed dates are in February 2026, so all of my Dutch (and Belgian/French) colleagues can start to plan in their diaries!
Off to The US of A in 2026
I’ve received my call-up papers and been invited to take part in the Reflexology Association of America Conference in Milwaukee next April.
Highly-honoured and looking forward to speaking alongside fellow reflexologists from around the world. I’ll be speaking on Coronal Zone Reflex Therapy and there are plans for a post-conference workshop.
