Inge qualified as a Reflexologist in Copenhagen, Denmark in April 1981. By October that year she immigrated to South Africa and opened a private reflexology practice. She began teaching in 1983 and established what was to become the first International Academy of Reflexology incorporating Chinese Meridian Theories and Philosophies. Uniting Western and Eastern insight into the Meridians and the Five Elements has given IARAMT a high reputation worldwide for its unique approach.
