Board Members Job Descriptions
History of Board Members
Current Board Members:
President:
Teri Hoskins, CR
Email: president@washingtonreflexology.org
Teri has been a certified reflexologist for nearly 30 years. Her dedication to reflexology led her to a teaching position in 1997, eventually propelling her to the role of USA Director for an international reflexology
school for which she managed multiple campuses. She now operates the School of Therapeutic Reflexology in Tumwater, WA and maintains a private practice in Olympia, WA.
Vice President:
Linda Frank, NBCR, NCREd
Email: vp@washingtonreflexology.org
A former publishing sales and marketing executive and LMT (still holding a NY license), I’ve managed a reflexology business in Tacoma WA since 2015. I’m the Founding Director of Tacoma’s Reflexology Academy NW (RANW) which teaches a Certification Program as well as CE classes.
Serving on the Board of the Reflexology Association of America (RAA) since 2022, I was reluctant to get involved with another board. However, knowing how vital it is to have thriving state associations as well as a thriving national association, I volunteered to serve at least temporarily on the WRA board to help it get back on its feet. Thankfully, others volunteered to do that, too.
Treasurer:
Carolyn Beers, NBCR
Email: treasurer@washingtonreflexology.org
My first experience with reflexology was at the age of 11-12 years old. I had health issues that the medical doctor could not figure out or treat and so my mother used other resources, which worked.
When I moved to the Olympia area in 2004 I was introduced to Teri Hoskins and completed the 300 hours to become a certified reflexologist in 2006. I practiced for a number of years and had a successful clinic. Due to life circumstances I returned to my former career as an accountant vowing that I would practice again in the future.
In 2024 I took the leap, repeating the 300 hours (due to the change in WA’s reflexology law in 2013). Having completed the necessary credentials for Washington State, I am now back doing the work that I love, helping others to feel their best. I look forward to serving as the Treasurer for WRA.
Membership Secretary:
Karyle Kramer, NBCR
Email: membership@washingtonreflexology.org
After working for decades as a high school teacher and tennis coach, I made a conscientious decision to live a lower stress life. I discovered reflexology three years ago and it's been life changing on multiple levels. It's important for me to volunteer and advocate for causes in my extended community; I'm looking forward to working with this WRA board and members!
President Emerita/Government Relations:
Tianne Curtis, CR, LMT
Email: tiannecurtiss@gmail.com
Tianne, along with Teri, held WRA together and deserves our gratitude and applause. An LMT for 25+ years as well as a Washington State Certified Reflexologist, Tianne is dedicating more time to liaising with the American Massage Therapy Association as well as remaining in close ties with the WRA. We were lucky to have her at the helm of WRA for so many years, and fortunate now to have her input on so many things WRA.
