Terry is a licensed massage therapist and ARCB certificant in foot reflexology and was trained in ear and hand reflexology as well. She completed her massage school training (800 hours) in 2012 from the Massage Therapy Institute of Colorado in Denver and her reflexology education (300 hours) in 2014 from Integrative Earth Medicine (formerly Just for Health School of Reflexology) in Englewood, Colorado.

While in Colorado she had a very small home based business in massage and reflexology. She moved to Florida at the end of 2015 to be closer to family, and has only practiced with family and friends since then. She works full-time for a financial services company, but plans to transition to broadening her client base in the next several months.

She is interested in helping and supporting her reflexology colleagues, building community, and doing what she can to promote reflexology as a profession.

After working in the hospital industry for over 25 years, Lena Roberts saw how powerful touch was in all stages of healing. She became a Florida licensed massage therapist in 2011. Soon after, she joined her husband, Scott, at Peaceful Warriors Wellness Center in downtown St Petersburg. The couple has focused on their clients, staff, and their education for the past 11 years.
 
In 2020, Lena finished a 350-hour Reflexology program with The Foot Whisperer Institute, and later that year, ARCB Certified. In her practice, Lena regularly combines reflexology, massage, Himalayan salt stones, medicupping, aromatherapy, and other therapeutic-oriented therapies. 
 
In her ‘spare time’, Lena serves as an Ambassador for the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce and is an active member of (according to her) the “best networking lunch in St. Pete”!
 
As the new Secretary of FAR, Lena hopes to extend the Association’s reach into smaller areas of Florida by hosting Open Houses, speaking at massage schools, and offering free/low-cost in-person classes.

Louise Richardson’s reflexology journey began some years ago when she observed how a friend of the family was improving the quality of life for some family members with reflexology.  Louise’s husband is one of those whom she helped.  Several years later, Louise wanted an additional service to offer along with her pedicures and manicures; her husband suggested reflexology.  When Louise found a school, her husband said: “Great!  Who do I make the check out to, and how much?”  And her reflexology practice blossomed from there.

​

Since then, Louise has had the privilege to help many people improve their quality of life through reflexology.  It has been a rewarding experience, and she plans to keep doing this for as long as her hands can physically do this work.

​

Having served on the board of another professional organization, Louise understands the roles and responsibilities and feels honored to serve the members of the Florida Association of Reflexology.  She truly believes in the health advantages of receiving these sessions and feels that collectively, reflexologists can help to improve people’s quality of life, one person at a time.
