The International Academy of Medical Reflexology in 1987 was founded by the owner, Professor Lorraina J. Telepo, MRP. The core purpose for developing a career academy was to upgrade the practice from Reflexology to Medical Reflexology and to the highest professional level. Through her diligence, hard work and skills, Professor Telepo was able to accomplish the licensing of her academy, the IAMR, with the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Licensed Schools. This accomplishment was the milestone that finally gave Medical Reflexology its own sanction and legal fulfillment levels that would enable the public to distinguish between the Medical Reflexology professional versus the hobby/amateur reflexologist. This government qualification is confirmed through strict competency testing, and is the only way that a Medical Reflexologist can gain an entry-level position as a professional practitioner. For further information please access the website for the Pennsylvania Association of Private School Administrators, of which Professor Telepo is an active member.
Our main purpose of a website of this type is to inform the masses of the numerous benefits of Medical Reflexology.

Health professionals worldwide recognize Professor Telepo as the pioneer who championed the victory resulting in the unique achievement, which now gives the practice of Medical Reflexology the official government codes that it deserves.

No other reflexology school has reached this higher level, which culminates in the graduate receiving an official diploma, with the Pennsylvania Commonwealth of Pennsylvania seal. The diploma is awarded upon completion of their schooling, and mastery of their profession. This is emblematic of the skills and ability level of competency worthy of public trust and confidence.
Professor Lorraina J. Telepo is a world leader, and the foremost pioneer of "Official" Medical Reflexology in the United States. Since founding IAMR, her tireless work on recognition and licensure by State and Federal Educational agencies were substantial and significant.
Medical Reflexology has accorded the stepping stones to mold this world leader in her field, worthy of her students stepping into the shoes of all that she has perfected for this great professional field of Medical Reflexology. A pioneer, with a thirty-seven year established clinical practice in Medical Reflexology. All legitimacy gained should be a welcome gift to a person who is interested in furthering this great field, and profession, of Medical Reflexology. the entire Medical Reflexology profession should come together and work as an organized group in the value of furthering the best interests of the Profession.
Professor Telepo devoted her time over the years, well into the wee hours of the morning, which are hours unpaid, and not on record, to achieve these codes. But it was totally necessary to upgrade the profession of Medical Reflexology to this "Medical Services" status, and she wants all to know that the government was absolutely terrific in aiding her to attain these milestone accomplishments, the offical government "recognized" codes separate the amateur/hobby from the Medical Reflexologist professional forever.
