Medical Reflexology offers you this outstanding overall health enhancement program, working toward re-educating, re-patterning, and re-conditioning the nerves through the neural/electrical system of the body. The essentile job description of the nerves is to instruct the body; when the nerves improve, the instruction must improve, as a result, the body must improve. Reflexologists’ goal is to aid patients to improve, enhance, and benefit their overall health status. Apply now to become a skilled, qualified Reflexologist graduating under medical services. The IAAR academy is a licensed Program, resulting as a Post-Secondary status. Therefore, please DO NOT confuse our program taught as a "MERE" Workshop, with the end results all you have earned is a "Certificate of Attendance", not a true "Certification", check all certification claims with your own state's Department of Education. A Research question for you, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR REASONS FOR WANTING TO ENROLL IN THIS MEDICAL REFLEXOLOGY ACADEMY, LICENSED, POST-SECONDARY PROGRAM? Respectfully your answer will be the "Recognized" Official Diploma with the Official Government Codes (see Student Handbook for Codes) upon graduation, you only receive in this world what you pay for and the contract enrollment agreement that you sign, we are not a nametag only school? It is strongly advised upon researching all schools that you ask if the school is a Post-Secondary School with a licensed Medical Reflexology Program, or does the school just teach as a Workshop (granting you a certificate of Attendance at the workshop) only status. It is strongly advised to search the word "WORKSHOP" on all inquiries for all schools you are researching. There is a great official difference amongst an independent, non-approved, self-standing Workshop (attendance certificate only), Course, or Seminar, in retrospect, to your selecting a government licensed, Approved Career Program, learn the difference, call with questions, do your homework well. In addition, only hours with the instructor can be ligitimate clock hours, homework hours are not considered clock hours with the Department of Education. A true certification is when you graduate from an Accredited School and pass an approved certification test, but, first the school must be a licensed Post-Secondary School. Please consider strongly attending our academy that sets its career goals for you as "Gold Standard", not a mere workshop standard.

Send mail to READ BELOW THE WORDS OUR WONDERFUL GRADUATES ARE SHARING WITH YOU, I TRUST YOU WILL FIND THEIR WISDOM INSPIRING 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 brought reflexology to a new 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. Merrill Crist, LPN, Baltimore, Maryland 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. 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.
Denise Haney, Bethlehem, PA 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 United States
Department of Education and the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Licensed Schools. From: Julia Pomeroy, RN. Clincal
experience in rehabilitation nursing and skilled
nursing. Administrative experience in long term care
MDS coordination 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.
Cathy Horton
San Jose, CA. “ 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 as well as the United States Department of Education, 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.”
Kathi in Mansfield, Pa. 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 talk to PROFF. LORRIANA J. TELEPO, RRP and immediately decided to join her school, INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY OF ADVANCED REFLEXOLOGY.
It was just a hunch. I was / am 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 petaining to Medical Reflexology from the United States Department of Labor & Industry, the United States Department of Education, and the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Licensed Schools.
RAKESH V. THAPLIYAL, Atlanta, Georgia
M.B.B.S., M.D.( INDIA) 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. 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.
