BIOGRAPHY: Dorthe Krogsgaard and Peter Lund Frandsen
Touchpoint, Denmark
Dorthe Krogsgaard
With 45+ years of experience working full time in her Copenhagen based practice, Dorthe is one of the reflexology veterans in Denmark. Throughout her career, she has always been actively involved with raising the profession’s standards and documenting its effects.
Dorthe has served as chairperson for the Danish Reflexologists Association, FDZ and was instrumental in establishing FDZ’s Research Committee. Dorthe Krogsgaard has lectured at numerous international conferences and served as a board member and vice president of the International Council of Reflexologists.
Peter Lund Frandsen
Five years study of medicine at University of Copenhagen, Denmark, one year of physics and philosophy at West Georgia University, USA. 40 years of closely following the development of energy medicine. Peter is a complementary therapist specialized in bio-holographic modalities such as Reflexology and Nerve Reflexology. International presenter and educator.
Touchpoint
Dorthe Krogsgaard and Peter Lund Frandsen started their professional cooperation in 1998 as coordinators of the RiEN 2000 reflexology conference in Odense, Denmark.
A few years later they established Touchpoint offering complementary post graduate training to therapists world-wide.
Dorthe and Peter also co-founded the Institute of Integrative Therapies in Copenhagen, where they have their clinical practice, teach, and develop new reflexology techniques.
Touchpoint is well-known around the world for their “Round about…” series of advanced reflexology seminars, integrating energy medicine with a range of reflexology traditions.
In 2022 Touchpoint launched the world’s first online streaming platform for reflexologists: ReflexologyPlatform.com where they reach a large international audience.

MAKING REFLEXOLOGY MAINSTREAM – VIA FASCIA SCIENCE
A dual presentation by Dorthe Krogsgaard and Peter Lund Frandsen presenting their new
developments in reflexology based on fascias.
“We are not dealing only with a tissue, but with awareness” – Bruno Bordoni, Italian cardiologist and fascia researcher
Let us Create a Quantum Leap in Reflexology
From Denmark, the country where reflexology has been mainstream for 50 years, we are excited to introduce a new theoretical framework offering deeper insights into reflexology and practical techniques that takes our profession to a new level.
A new Paradigm – Simpler to Explain – and Closer to Well-known Science.
For the sake of keeping reflexology afoot with recent ideas in energy medicine, fascia science and
consciousness research, we find it necessary to talk about a new paradigm in reflexology theory.
The model we propose is a holistic unifying approach to understanding the body, and at the same time revolves around a very tangible thing: the fascial network.
It is simpler and logic to explain clients -and does not throw off the scientifically trained sceptics of complementary and alternative ideas.
Fascias are the future in body understanding – and body work.
They can help us make reflexology mainstream!
Follow us on a Fascia-nating Journey – in Theory and Demonstration
In this presentation Dorthe and Peter will lead us on a fascinating journey in world of fascias and the 2 main aspects of the new model:
- The way fascial tensions extend through body structures and may show up as tender areas in the superficial tissues – like feet, hands and ears. This understanding provides the first aspect of the new model for reflexology’s mechanism. It also leads to new ideas about the importance of new hands-on techniques, which we will demonstrate.
- Taking it all further by showing evidence that the subtle energy field is intimately connected to fascias. Here we find a fascinating concurrence between modern research and ancient intuitive knowledge. This connection has deep implications for the way we work with and understand reflexology. We will provide demonstrations of techniques to incorporate subtle energy fields/counsciousnes with fascial technigues. Here we find the second aspect in the new model of reflexology.
Fascia a potential bridge builder
Fascia knowledge has the potential to bridge medical science, complementary therapies and energy medicine.
Let’s invite the sceptics into this new forum, where different understandings can meet in a respectful atmosphere based on the science of fascia.
Let’s grab this possibility in the world of reflexology!
