Bev Parmar – Treasurer

Hello! I'm Bev Parmar

Treasurer

Once my children reached school age I decided to retrain and qualified as a Reflexologist in 2007 working from my practice in Uxbridge. Over the years I was working with more and more Fertility cases, so decided to take the ARR course, which I qualified in 2015. It was so useful to my practice that I took every opportunity to attend all the lecture days and slowly got more involved. After a year of generally helping the Association, I was asked to join the Board and became treasurer for the ARR in April 2018.

When I’m not working I seem to spend all my time feeding my 16 & 17 year old boys! They keep me busy. Hubby and I also like meeting up with our friends when we can. I really enjoy working in my garden which, although is only the size of a postage stamp, still keeps me busy and is my Zen place. Nothing beats sitting in the garden with a glass of something at the end of the day.

Hello! I'm Harriet Combes

Secretary

I trained with the International Institute of Reflexology in 2005. Since then I have become dedicated to reflexology and have continued to develop my skills in advanced training, completing Advanced Reflexology Courses including the original Suzanne Enzer Maternity Course and the Advanced Seren Course. I completed the Seren Training in 2013 and became Secretary to the Association of Reproductive Reflexologists in the same year, since when I have helped Barbara develop the profile of the ARR, developing advertising material, and traveling to Events and Clinics supporting Barbara’s work. I also did all the illustrations for Barbara’s Book and at one time I was Secretary, Treasurer and Events organiser for the Association, not sure how I managed that?

I trained extensively with Barbara and began teaching her course in 2015, helping to develop visual aids for the Seren Training course.

I have a Reflexology Clinic in Wiltshire and London.

Outside work …

I used to be a professional Cook, cooking for up to 250 at a time. I also made wedding cakes, especially architectural ones, I once made a cake of the Chrysler Building in New York!

I have been married for 34 years and have 3 grown up children and one granddaughter.

My hobbies are cooking for family and friends, walking my dog, swimming in the sea, anything creative, reading and lastly …. I am jigsaw puzzle mad!

My husband and I are currently building our next home in Wiltshire where we have lived all our married lives.

Kathryn Robinson – Communications Manager

Karen Taylor — Fri, 27 Mar 2020 12:12:57 +0000

Hello! I'm Kathryn Robinson

Communications Manager

As a Single Mum, I wanted to change my life so pursued training in various Holistic Therapies, qualifying in 2000 and have since undergone further extensive training including Reproflexology with Barbara in 2013/4. I have taught Holistic Therapies since 2002, with ten years in an FE college. As time progressed the courses were becoming shorter and much of the content became self taught, it was then I decided to create my own Training Academy, becoming established in 2012, offering Quality Bespoke Training Courses through the VTCT.

My daughter (also my best friend) now 27 years old lives in Letchworth where she works as a Nanny. She has two step children, as she will never be able to move back to the North East, I intend to relocate to the Coast within two hours drive from her.

I hit 60 years old this year and with that bought myself an old Motor Home, which, along with my 87 year old Mum and Rusty the Toy Cockapoo, I am going to use to tour the coast line to find my final home.

I have no plans to fullly retire, but would like to work more as a Training Adviser/EQA preferably with some travel involved, but of course my beloved Reflexology will always feature in my life.

When I do have spare time, I like to knit, sew, read and am just getting back to walking after a serious back injury. Oh and I love DIY, maybe I should just become an odd job woman!

Victoria Horne – Events Manager

Karen Taylor — Fri, 27 Mar 2020 12:06:04 +0000

Hello! I'm Victoria Horne

Events Manager

Victoria has been the Events Manager since 2016. She attends the monthly board meetings and helps to organise the various CPD events that the ARR puts on. Victoria is responsible for taking bookings for the AGM, lecture days, and webinars and attends the days to ensure they run smoothly.

Victoria trained at The West London School of Therapeutic Massage in 1995, after which she lived and worked in the North of England. In 2000, she moved to Sydney where she graduated from the Australian School of Reflexology. She returned to the UK with a passion for the benefits reflexology has in pain relief and symptom management. During her training, after an intensive weekend of students working on the reproductive system on each other, Victoria managed to conceive. The belief that Reflexology had assisted with this, led her to train with Barbara Scott and to get involved with the ARR. In her spare time, she enjoys walking in the countryside, preferably along the coast, or attending one of her son’s many musical concerts.
