About

Lorraine Senior B.Ed (Hons)

Hi, I am Lorraine Senior, the founder of Functional Reflex Therapy (FRT) based in England UK.

With a teaching background and experience in both mainstream and special education and a qualified reflexologist, I’ve dedicated much of my career to supporting children and adults with learning difficulties, communication challenges and diverse needs, blending my experience of education and reflexology.

Until very recently I provided weekly reflexology therapy sessions in a special school where I was a valued member of the multidisciplinary team for more than 12 years.

I still run a small private mobile reflexology practice, but I now dedicate more time to supporting reflexologists who want to expand their practice into educational and care settings and work to support wellbeing within their local community.

I lead in-house training and run interactive workshops, teaching families and professionals how to incorporate the Functional Reflex Therapy Rainbow Relaxation Programme helping to bring the many calming and relaxation benefits of nurturing touch into schools and homes.

I enjoy talking to groups raising awareness of the many benefits of reflexology and the many supportive pathways of Functional Reflex Therapy.

Additionally, I am proud to continue to develop the annual Functional Reflex Therapy Global Project, which supports special and inclusive schools in Zambia—a cause that’s close to my heart.

I am the very proud recipient of three wonderful awards:
2016 the Winner of the Association of Reflexologists Award for Excellence and Innovation in Reflexology
2017 the Winner of the Federation of Holistic Therapists Tutor of the Year
2019 A Humanitarian Award from the International Council of Reflexologists for the supportive work of the FRT Global Project Zambia.
