Irish Reflexologists' Institute

Irish Reflexologists' Institute The Irish Reflexologists' Institute is the membership institute of choice for Irish reflexologists. The office now operates with fluid opening hours.

The Irish Reflexologists' Institute (IRI) is a self regulating members representative body established in 1985 to represent and promote Reflexology in Ireland. A Voluntary Board of Directors made up from the membership of practicing Reflexologists are elected by the members each year at the AGM. All members are welcome and encouraged to give their time to assist the work of the IRI. The office is currently located in Sligo and is supported by secretarial services and business and IT consultants. Enquiries should preferably be directed by email to administrator@reflexology.ie or a message can be left on the IRI phone 085 2153475. The IRIL offers annual membership to all qualified Reflexologists at home and abroad in addition to offering student membership for those training to be a reflexologist. The application is now available online. Please see www.reflexology.ie for further details on the current membership requirements. The membership options are Full / Associate / Student memberships. The IRI are proud of the high standard maintained by its members which ensures and safeguards the quality of treatments being provided to the public. We ensure that all our members carry Professional Indemnity Insurance and are trained in First Aid. In addition we ensure our members update and refresh their skill set annually by completing 100 Continuous Professional Development points in each calendar year. The IRI have negotiated a refund system with all major Private Health Care providers including VHI, Laya, and Irish Life. Depending on their policy and level of cover, members of the public with private health care policies can claim a refund when they receive a Reflexology Treatment after submitting a receipt provided by one of our current members. Only fully paid up current members of the IRI are eligible to participate in this refund system. Please see our website www.reflexology.ie for a comprehensive list of Reflexologists who wish to be promoted through our website as providing Reflexology treatments.

Hormones don’t work in isolation. They’re part of a finely balanced system that’s deeply influenced by stress, sleep, and the nervous system.

Reflexology works holistically, supporting the endocrine system while also helping to calm the nervous system. When stress hormones such as cortisol are persistently elevated, they can disrupt other hormonal processes, including menstrual cycles, energy levels, sleep, and mood.

By encouraging deep relaxation and supporting the body’s natural self-regulation, reflexology may help create the conditions needed for hormonal balance. Whether that’s during the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, menopause, or times of prolonged stress.

Reflexology does not “force” change. Instead, it works gently with the body, supporting balance, awareness, and resilience over time.

Winter can challenge your immune system, mood and energy. Cold weather, shorter days and higher stress levels often lead to stiff joints, poor sleep, low mood and reduced circulation.

Reflexology offers a gentle, holistic way to support your body through the winter months by encouraging balance across multiple systems.

How reflexology can support winter wellbeing:

• Relaxation & stress regulation
Reflexology helps activate the body’s “rest and digest” response. Research shows this supports deep relaxation and lower stress levels - an important foundation for winter health.

• Improved sleep quality
Studies suggest reflexology can improve sleep and reduce anxiety. Better sleep supports immunity, mood and energy when your body needs it most.

• Immune system resilience
By working reflex areas linked to the lymphatic system, reflexology may support overall resilience by helping the body manage stress - a key factor in immune health.

• Respiratory & sinus comfort
Reflex areas associated with the lungs, chest and sinuses are often used to ease tension and support comfort during seasonal congestion.

• Circulation & winter aches
Cold weather can slow circulation and increase stiffness. Research shows reflexology can help improve blood flow and reduce perceived pain and muscular tension.

• Mood & energy support
Shorter days can affect mood and motivation. Studies suggest reflexology may reduce fatigue and support emotional wellbeing through the darker months.

Regular reflexology isn’t just about feeling better when you’re unwell. It’s a form of preventative self-care that helps you stay balanced and supported all winter.

Reflexology is a safe, low-risk complementary therapy and does not replace medical care. Always consult your GP if symptoms persist.

Your health is worth warming up for this winter. 👣❄️

Your feet say a lot without saying a word 👣✨
Reflexologists quietly notice the tiny shifts your body makes as it relaxes long before you do.
It’s the kind of magic you only feel once you finally switch off. 🌿

Friday Reflection đź’›

December has a way of stirring the deeper layers of the heart.

Old memories flicker beside new moments; warmth brushes against ache.

You don’t need to sort, fix, or choose between them.

Let every feeling arrive as gently as dusk...
a reminder that being human is a tapestry of both glow and shadow.
