The Meridian Professional Training in Massage is a young, dedicated organisation with the goal of bringing educational excellence to those seeking knowledge in complementary health, operating in both Birmingham and North / South Devon.

Meridian is managed and directed by Lorraine Horton. She qualified in Massage Therapy at the London School of Holistic Massage in 1992; in Reflexology in 1998; in Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Combined Decongestive Therapy in 2003 and obtained her Adult Learners Teaching Certificate in 2001.

Lorraine is an active and experienced practitioner who has developed a passion for sharing her knowledge. She has taught in adult education, is a Reiki teacher and runs her own, well-established complementary health practice in Birmingham and North / South Devon. She is also employed for part of her time by the Health Service.

Prior to becoming a full-time therapist and teacher, Lorraine managed a Civil Rights Project for learning disabled people; issues of equality continue to be important and underpin her teaching. Lorraine is a member of the Training Committee of the Massage Training Institute, London, a professional organisation of holistic massage schools.

“l am fascinated with the human body and its many possibilities. Training professionally was a natural progression of this fascination. It is clear that there is so much about us that cannot be explained on the physical, mental or emotional levels alone - my interest in subtle energies grew - and this is an integral part of my therapies. I continue to explore and study these areas with excitement and passion.

“It is this passion and love of bodywork that I bring to my teaching. I am very excited about the possibility of supporting others to further explore this for themselves and am privileged to witness their own personal growth and development. “ - Lorraine
