Modern Reflexology was first researched and developed by Eunice Ingham, the pioneer of this field. This organisation offers training in The Ingham Method® of Reflexology which is the result of the combined work of the late Eunice Ingham and her nephew Dwight C. Byers, leading authority on Foot Reflexology.
Following the merger of the International Institute of Reflexology (IIR) with the AoR it was agreed that full members of the IIR will be designated as such with IIR after their name.
International Federation of Reflexologists
The International Federation of Reflexologists, working closely with the Reflexology Forum, aims to achieve common high standards of Reflexology practice for all reflexologists, both in the U.K and worldwide.
