​​Highgate memories 

Going through my archives, I came across this photo of me with Dwight and Nancy Byers having a coffee at bottom of Swains Lane, Highgate, London taken 1992. Dwight is the nephew of Eunice Ingham.



A Trip Down Memory Lane

Tony teaching in London, 2006

This is me with the wife of the actor Jack Warner

Mr and Mrs Jack Warner
Lived next door to my parents in Broadstairs Kent.
Molly was a lovely lady, who at this time was in her
90s. She loved the positive techniques of ART! 
Every time I visited my parents I would treat her.
And have tea and cakes and a good old natter after.
The picture was taken in about 1987

Me with Dr. Frances Wong


In 1985 I travelled to China and met Dr. Frances Wong,
who was the principle of the Chinese Acupuncture Association. She confirmed my doubts that Reflexology did not begin in China! Something I never really believed.
A lovely lady, who arranged many interesting meetings for me with the top acupuncturists in China. She taught me how
to breath through my feet, amongst other things.
I learned so much through her.

Singapore Acupuncture Conference

In 1990 we were guests at the Singapore Acupuncture and Reflexology Conference.
Left to right: Lilian Tibshraeny, Dwight Byers, Tony Porter
and the principles.

Singapore class 1990

The students were all so keen to learn from us.

We were called the Masters!

A lovely evening out

Linda Yee
My interpreter and guide in Singapore.
Here we are in one of the many restaurants
she took me to after each seminar.
Such a lovely lady. Apart from being a very good
reflexologist Linda was also a children's school  teacher, and spoke several languages, including perfect English.
I often wonder what happened to her.

George and Geraldine Tay

George is the leading reflexologist in Singapore. We spent many good times with them. It is George who uses a swan's quill in a very precise way on the toes to treat spinal injury 
patients. We witnessed some remarkable instant effects. One a paraplegic patient where, after George's quick treatment was able to get out of his wheelchair and walk a short distance. It is a very quick but painful treatment, which produces an electric shock throughout the body.
He is the only person I know to use this technique.

Me with Geraldine Tay

George and Geraldine have devoted their lives to reflexology
They have a lovely and very busy clinic in Singapore.
Wonderful, positive and often painful techniques Performed with great skill, and very effective.

So cold Mongolia!

Somehow I found myself in Ulaanbaatar Capital city of Mongolia in the Winter! - 32 degrees!
I thought I would find out what the reflexology
scene was like there, or was it something else as well!
Not saying, some things have to be kept secret!

Street view Ulaanbaatar

Amazingly traffic keeps running, no salt used on the roads,
Just a ridged layer of inches of thick ice that you drive or walk on.
I did manage to find a place which gave reflexology, quite good it was to.

And so to Holland

Somewhere in Holland about 1994 It was such a pleasure giving seminars in Holland. Dwight and I really got things going in that country with such lovely and enthusiastic people

Waiting for the Bus

Somewhere in Holland 1994 possibly Waiting for the bus to arrive to take us to the next venue. I remember it being a cold morning.

One of the early Dutch classes

I always enjoyed going to Holland to give seminars, in fact I still do. This was one of our earlier groups Dwight in front of me on the left.

The class at work

This is the class at work, not sure of the location in Holland. Can you help?

Elsemarie and Daughter

Elsemarie Rich used to organise Dwight's and my seminars in Holland. This picture was taken at Monique Schweitzer's centre near Toulouse about 2009

Still alive? What damn reflexologist has been treating you?

Dr. Wunderlich was a very well known Medical doctor in Florida, like his Father before him.
Ray was a foremost naturopathic
practitioner and ran a great treatment centre in Florida.
His book 'Sugar and your Health' is the best book on the subject of the dangers of sugar.
Ray also held a Doctorate
in English and wrote regularly
