This is quite a definition for Medical Reflexology. It is concise, precise and expressive
enough to give the reader a visual tool. Within this definition one can
find science, research, treatment instruction, and outcome. Thousands of
years of documented history have gone into this definition.
Historically, scientific methodology has been heralded as the only way
to be sure of research. Within this definition, there is the
understanding that the scientific modality of research has been applied;
those parts being observation, hypothesis, prediction, test and result.
I just want to Thank Professor Telepo for all her hard work and determination to start and run the International Academy of Medical Reflexology. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn from her, her wealth of knowledge is incredible. I learned so much in class and hands on in clinic it was an amazing experience. It is changing my life and the lives around me in a positive way. I can help people in a way I never imagined! Professor Telepo's love and knowledge of medical reflexology is a shining light to all of us. Thank you so much for this gift.
Barbara Bannon, New Holland, PA
After being in a car accident 2009, I was referred to a Medical Reflexologist to help me with the migraines I had been dealing with for many years. The reflexologist I met with inspired me so much to want to help others that I questioned her on where I could take classes and learn this invaluable healing practice. She recommended Professor Telepo at the International Academy of Medical Reflexology. Needless to say I signed up immediately and was overwhelmed with excitement for my first class. Professor Telepo’s teaching capabilities, knowledge and overall care for each of her students and patients is beyond remarkable. Since graduating in April 2014, I have “gone to work” as a Medical Reflexologist with a profound sense of gratitude for my new profession and for those who helped me and inspired to take on this new journey. I can only hope to keep learning from Professor Telepo in Medical Reflexology and keep helping those who are in need of my services. Mary Traca, CHC MRP - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
The best learning experience ever! Professor Telepo's knowledge is invaluable, she works hands on with every student. I am so proud to be a graduate!
Lois Owens Donnelly, Shartlesville, Pa
Dear Professor Telepo,
I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the enthusiasm and love for Medical Reflexology. I have the honor and joy of raising 3 great children and my life has always and still continues to being centered around that. l have always had the "make it count" attitude when going out in the workfield when I am away from them. Never did I want my time wasted or to go to a job just to pay the bills. I searched and tried different things; becoming cpr certified as well as working with patients with ailments but I knew I wanted to do more. I have been a cosmetologist going on 9 yrs as well and I am rewarded when my clients feel good about themselves. The best compliment I can recieve, I have been told by you, is that person telling another. So this brings me to the point of telling everyone where I found you! I researched Reflexology and found you under Medical Reflexology and I was impressed. Still I wanted to see it for myself so I called you and met you right in the heart of it all; while you were doing your patients. Jaw dropping to say the least! And that is when I began my journey and am proud to say I am A Medical Reflexogist and so very devoted to helping as many people as my hands allow! I am honored to be a part of your school and your impeccable teachings. Your knowledge and passion are beyond comprehension and I look forward to being a part of this beautiful profession. Thankyou for giving your valuable time to me and giving me the knowledge I have to pass on to others!
Sincerely,
Angela Fighera, MRP- Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
Professor Telepo has been a fantastic instructor in the field of Medical Reflexology. I am a Registered Nurse who wanted to learn a different treatment modality that I could practice and see the body respond positively. I am so glad that I learned Medical Reflexology. During my case studies, a part of my Medical Reflexology classes, my clients had amazing results. All of them praised Medical Reflexology and how it had helped them sleep better, have less pain, more flexibility and less stiffness of joints, and overall better emotional stability and physical well being. It is so exciting to work on my family and see their health improve. Former classmates and I get together and treat each other. As the word spreads of Medical Reflexology and how it is helping others, our practices are growing. The International Academy of Medical Reflexology is a really great academy. Glenda Deutsch R.N, MRP – Medical Reflexologist Practitioner
I attended The International Academy of Reflexology in the year 2014. My research on the subject lead me to attend this excellent school. I was in no way disappointed with the content of the Licensed Program and results from attending this school. The classes were enjoyable and very informative all relating to the subject. All clinical data we received reaffirmed and confirmed the wonderful results from performing the exercise pressure to all 7200 nerve endings in each hand and foot.
Professor Lorraina Telepo, MRP commitment to Medical Reflexology is leaps and bounds above anyone I have ever had the pleasure of meeting during my scholastic career. The enthusiasm is infectious every moment during her classes. Extremely knowledgeable about her profession and totally professional with her students and clients. This made me proud to be a student of the Professor.
I recommend this profession to all who wish to help others and help themselves biologically self-restore and maintain their own bodies.
Sincerely
Joseph G. Ring RN,HP,MRP
I was very fortunate to study Reflexology with Professor Lorraina J. Telepo, MRP. Her passionate dedication to the field is contagious. I found myself wanting to be her shadow as even little asides she shared were invaluable. I have been a Social Worker and a Teacher yet never felt that I fit completely. It was frustrating not to often be able to really gauge that what I was doing was making a difference. Reflexology is so focused and powerful that I could really see "miracles" occurring for clients. Professor Telepo has changed aspects of my view of life and I will never be the same.
Thank you Professor.
Kathleen Kingsley, MS MRP
When I decided to take Medical Reflexology, I actually thought that it would be "just another thing" that I could add to my list. However, after taking the class and meeting Professor Telepo, the experience has been life changing. I am so inspired and excited about pursuing a career in Medical Reflexology. I own my own company and make good money, but I still felt like something was missing. After taking the Program, I've realized that helping people is something that is very important to me and its more rewarding than anything else. Thank you Professor Telepo for being such an amazing instructor and for allowing me to find something that makes me happy. I've learned from the best :)

If you are serious about learning Medical Reflexology, IAMR is for you! Professor Lorraina J. Telepo, MRP is an amazing wealth of information and she shares it all with everyone she teaches! She truly cares about her patients and each of her students. She is always just a phone call away (or email). Class room lecture prepares you for what you need to know about how the body works, but the very best learning comes during clinic hours when you learn from actual patients feet! Thank You Professor Telepo for sharing your gift, which is now my gift to give to my patients!

Like all journeys in life, you may not always stay on the well-trodden path. You may take some twists and turns and stumble upon an intriguing side road that just begs to be taken. It could be for the adventure or unknown possibilities. It could challenge your mind, change your thinking, and expand that internal view of your own limitations.
I stepped off the main road and walked down a narrow lane to the International Academy of Medical Reflexology. Under the direction and guidance of Professor Lorraina J. Telepo, a whole new understanding of the human body took shape – its wondrous ability to heal, correct and strengthen itself. A true medical reflexologist, Professor Telepo stimulates, encourages and reinforces her students throughout the entire learning process. From lecture to clinical, she is hands on. “Take care of your future patients, take care of yourselves.”
Why not place your foot onto that side road and take the first step. You may never look back.

Professor Telepo, of the International Academy of Medical
Reflexology, is the most caring professional I have ever met. She is not
only an expert in her field,but sincerely wants everyone to succeed
and/or get well. She is a wealth of information and is more than willing
to share it with you. The knowledge one will receive under her guidance
is invaluable. The clinical hours with hands on treatment were so
beneficial. I only wish I could find the time to spend more hours with
her and her patients. Anyone interested in medical reflexology needs to
contact this school immediately!

Growing up, I had always been intrigued by reflexology. It wasn't
until the last few years when I actually had reflexology performed on me
that I became more aware of its healing properties and I wanted to know
more about it. I found a book while I was in Japan and spent most of my
flight back reading all about this alternative healing practice. When I
returned home, I began searching the internet for schools and was
fortunate to find the International Academy of Medical Reflexology. Not
only is IAMR nearby but it is the only reflexology school licensed by
the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Licensed Schools. Our teacher,
Professor Lorraina Telepo, has an excellent way of presenting the
material so you can remember it. Her knowledge and experience is
incredible. She has helped so many people and you can tell that she
genuinely cares for her patients and her students. I would highly
recommend IAMR to anyone interested in learning this alternative healing
practice. The fee charged for the reflexology course is minimal when you
figure you can walk out with a diploma and enough knowledge and skills
to open your own practice. Thank you, Lorraina, for teaching me about a
whole new opportunity.

Thank you Professor Telepo for your outstanding contribution on
educational and professional level that your course afforded in the
field of Medical Reflexology. Thank you also for your relentless and
untiring pursuit to bring the Profession of Medical Reflexology to such
a high level as to be Recognized by the Pennsylvania State Board of
Private Licensed Schools. After receiving my diploma I was fortunate to
be able to further my Continuing Education and practical knowledge in
the field by being able to work along side Professor Telepo at her
school thus providing my clients with the best in the field.

My name is Renata Jodlowski, born in Poland, and, I attended The
International Academy of Medical Reflexology in 2009. It was quite an
experience and I enjoyed every minute of it. I found the lectures very
informative and I learned a lot about Medical Reflexology. After
completing this school I was ready to help patients. Thanks to my great
teacher Professor Lorraina J Telepo, MRP.

I discovered Reflexology when I found 2 books at a used book store
while on vacation. As I read about Reflexology and all the amazing
personal testamonials from regular people, I thought to myself, "How
come I didn't discover this years ago? Why isn't this common knowledge?"
Then online I found a licensed school, International Academy of Medical
Reflexology, and so I decided I wanted to persue this fascinating fiield
and so I enrolled. The school is taught by Professor Lorraina Telepo.
She is truly a leader in her field. Her teaching style is very thorough
and is easy to understand and retain. I enjoyed the class and the case
studies assignment. Seeing the dramatic improvements in people has been
an inspiration to me. Reflexology gives me a sense of purpose and also
fulfills my desire to help others. I would highly recommend this school
to anyone interested in this wonderful field of Reflexology.

Subject: My comments on the school for your web site: Having taken
one workshop in reflexology which left me thinking "There has to be more
to reflexology than this", I found the caliber of instruction and the
medical aspect of reflexology I was looking for at the International
Academy of Medical Reflexology. Coming from a 30 year career in nursing,
I appreciated Professor Telepo's extensive experience as a
reflexologist, and her ability to ignite the same kind of passion and
commitment I had experienced as a young nurse. Professor Telepo's
knowledge of anatomy and physiology was of particular importance to me,
and was instrumental in helping to make the connection between the
reflex areas in the foot and the body as a whole. Professor Telepo who
brought reflexology to the next level when she opened her school of
Medical Reflexology. Not content to have reflexology viewed as simply an
avocation or hobby, Professor Telepo sought and obtained licensure as a
post-secondary school in reflexology, becoming the only such school in
the nation thus far. She pursued the federal government as well, and
through her diligence and perseverance was granted a code for
reflexology under Medical Services. This takes reflexology out of
Complementary and Alternative Medicine and puts it where it should be,
as a bona fide medical service. Under the tutelage of Professor Telepo,
you will not spend hours upon hours learning hand placement. Instead,
you will spend those hours learning to interpret what your hands are
feeling, and why improving the nerve, blood, and lymphatic supply to the
body through medical reflexology can only improve the body overall. If
you are looking for a vocation, this licensed, post-secondary school
will meet and exceed your needs.

My name is Joe Vrable Jr. I am writing this for anybody considering
the International Academy of Advanced Reflexology. You can check on
other schools and workshops on reflexology, but, this is the only school
I've found that is licensed by any state Department of Education to
merit the claim of a Post-secondary school in Pennsylvania. Most
importantly is the right to the Official codes, especially the O'net and
SIC code's from the United States Department of Labor and Industry. The
diploma that graduates receive is for Medical Reflexology. The Program
is easy to understand, and the chart and video that Professor Telepo
developed for her class are detailed and exact. Professor Telepo has 34
years experience and has proved to me that she knows what reflexology is
and can back it up. The clinical hours at the school were invaluable in
learning about reflexology. I would recommend this school to anybody who
has a professional interest in medical reflexology, because that is what
I found at this school and with Professor Telepo.
Joe Vrable Jr
As a Graduate of the International Academy of Medical Reflexology it
became clear to me that Professor Telepo has re-classified Medical
Reflexology from an "alternative modality" to an integrative health
science. Through Professor Telepo's licensed Post-secondary academy and
curriculum, I gained tremendous experience in the clinical aspects of
hands-on technique and patient assessment. The benefits of Professor
Telepo's over thirty years experience and official government codes
should be the decisive factor when choosing a Medical Reflexology
education and career.
Robyn Snell-Charter- Marlboro, New York
In this students opinion, all students who attend this Academy
receive an unsurpassed amount of information regarding the Medical
Reflexology field as well as hands-on clinical experience comparable to
no other. We, as students, are fortunate that Professor Lorraina Telepo
has expanded traditional reflexology into the field of Medical
Reflexology and is gracious enough to share her wisdom with us. The
diploma you receive upon graduation along with the official government
codes provide you with the confidence you need to approach prospective
clients and the medical community.

Regitze von Holck Forner, Dallas, Texas. (3/07) I am a graduate of
Professor Lorraina J.Telepo, MRP's International Academy of Advanced
Medical Reflexology. In my search for instruction in Reflexology, I was
looking for a licensed program, a school with ONLY Reflexology teaching,
a reasonable price and a concentrated time period. The IAAMR was the
only academy which offered all these, for me, requirements. Attending
the Academy I had the fortune to be instructed by Professor Lorraina
Telepo, who with her 33 years experience is an excellent teacher and has
the ability to impart her knowledge with true dedication to her
students. It has been my pleasure to have attended and gained my diploma
with an official code approved by the Pennsylvania State Board of
Private Licensed Schools.

As for something to prospective students I would say the following:
Before any person makes a decision to attend a place of education,
they must ask themselves one question: "How do you define yourself?" If
you are looking to really learn, and apply yourself to learning and if
you see yourself providing a quality, beneficial service to others then
you aim high to find the right school. The IAAR will provide you with
the education and tools you require to meet your highest definition of
yourself as a Medical Reflexologist. I chose IAAR because of Professor
Telepo's high standards and committment to teaching. As a registered
nurse in two states, I would not entertain a program which is not
licensed. This is the ONLY licensed Reflexology Program school, complete
with Official Government Codes and your career will benefit because of
this standard.
Julia Pomeroy, RN, PA and VA
After attending a weekend workshop, I felt the need to search for
something that would provide me with a better education about
reflexology, rather than just a workshop. My search led me to the
International Academy of Advanced Reflexology. I travel a great distance
to attend this school. Professor Telepo is truly an inspiration to
anyone interested in this field. She is completely passionate and
knowledgable about Reflexology. She has put a great deal of time and
effort into making her school credible, by being the only school that is
a Reflexology Licensed Post Secondary School. I am very pleased with the
way the course is designed. The clinic hours provide the students with a
wonderful opportunity, to really get a "hands on" approach. I highly
recommend this School and you can feel free to contact me.

After studying reflexology for over a year, through videos and
practice on family and friends, I felt ready to advance to the next
level by taking a formal training course. While there are no present
laws regulating the practice of reflexology in my state of Pennsylvania,
I decided it would be in my best interest ---and that of my future
clients --- to achieve a level of skill and competency worthy of public
trust and confidence, as I develop my career in the field. I must admit
the task of evaluating all of the available programs was daunting. After
careful research and consideration, I decided that IAAR offers the
program that best fulfills this goal. I am impressed with the course
description and the cost is reasonable in comparison. The fact that it
is a post-secondary school licensed by the Pennsylvania Board of
Licensed Private Schools, was a deciding factor for me. I am hopeful to
graduate in June. The time spent with fellow reflexology students,
exchanging ideas, as well as the extensive clinical practice time under
the supervision of an experienced instructor who shares my Faith, has
been very valuable for me.

Back in India when I got interested in alternate therapies and
started learning ACUPRESSURE, SUZOK ACUPRESSURE, SHIATSU AND REIKI my
friends and colleagues thought that I am out of my mind. Yes, they
thought so. I am a medical doctor an MD from India. And they thought
that I am really out of my mind to get into this and leave my practice
of modern medicines. Well a few things happened which forced me to look
into the alternate therapies, and the more I got into this, the more I
was amazed to see the healing power of it. HEALING and not TREATING.
PERSUASIVE and not INVASIVE THERAPIES. I moved to USA in 2003 and wanted
to learn REFLEXOLOGY as I had read and heard a lot about this persuasive
therapy too. I started to look for a good school. Browsing through the
web I found a few and started to write and talk to them. I got to speak
to Professor Lorraina J. Telepo, MRP, and immediately decided to join
her school, the International Academy of Medical Reflexology. It was
just a hunch. I was and am so lucky that I had done so. I am lucky, that
not only Proff Telepo is experienced, but is a great Teacher as well.
She inspires you to learn and her method of teaching is very relaxed yet
very precise. This makes learning very easy. I learnt a lot from her.
The Academy has all relevant Official Codes relative to Medical
Reflexology from the United States Department of Labor & Industry,
and the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Licensed Schools.

My name is Karen Shuman-Parry,Bangor, Pa. I am a graduate of the
IAAR. I have been practicing Reflexology for the past 5 years. I would
only recommend this Acadamy because, #1 it is a licensed school, #2
Based on my clients that I have worked on , I know for a fact that the
chart patened by Lorraina Telepo is correct and #3 I feel Professor
Lorraina Telepo is the best instructor when it comes to reflexology. She
has over 30 years of experience and that's what counts. Yes, I can show
you how to do reflexology, but without a proper teacher and the
credibility of a licensed school means everything. I am very thankful
for the true dedication of Professor Lorraina Telepo toward reflexology.
She is just a phone call or email away. She is always there to help you
with any of your case studies. In my opinion, Lorraina Telepo is the
best when it comes to Reflexology.
Karen Shuman-Parry,Bangor, Pa
When I looked for a school that offered a reflexology program, I was
very discouraged to find that most were weekend seminars (which did not
offer a diploma by an program institution). I was thrilled to find IAAR
in my home state of Pennsylvania! Not only is IAAR a program
institution, but you learn from the best ---Professor Telepo, who has
more than thirty years of experience. For me, the most important part of
the program was the hands-on clinical hours; a lot of programs teach you
only the reflex areas, but to gain experience by working on individuals
with a variety of medical conditions was invaluable!
Cheryl Calautti, Moscow, PA
When I did research on Reflexology Schools the only one that stood
out for me was International Academy of Reflexology for one reason only,
You achieve the highest honor of getting a diploma with official
government codes, no other school offers this. The others offer a
certificate of attendance, my dog could get a certificate of attendance.
In my opinion, Professor Telepo's academy is far superior in knowledge
of reflexology and its understanding. This is the best thing I ever
invested in.
