Happy Anniversary RAC!
In 2006 RAC will be celebrating 30 years of serving the interests of reflexologists!
The theme of the 2006 conference is �Fruitful in Unity�. We will be celebrating the fruits of working together to successfully build RAC into the national association that represents reflexologists. We invite you will unite with us in this celebration.
Our keynote speaker for the conference is Hanne Marquardt, renowned reflexologist and author. Here is a bit of background about Hanne, considered by many as the grandmother of Reflexology in Germany.

1951-1954 training and exam as State Reg. Nurse (SRN) England.
1955-1957 training in therapeutic massage and breathing therapy.

In the following nine years(1958-1967) increasingly more experience in Reflexotherapy of the Feet in hospitals and in her own practice.
1967, after having met Eunice Ingham personally in the USA, made the decision to start teaching.

�I have been given the pleasure of communicating with Hanne.� says RAC�s Fil Lander. �I can tell from our dialogue that RAC participants at the Conference and the Study Days that follow, are in for a rare treat. She is passionate about Reflexology (or Reflexotherapy as she calls it) and a curiosity about life as well as a genuine desire to meet RAC members and visit our country.�
