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 [email protected] 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.

September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month 💜

A month dedicated to raising awareness, encouraging conversations and helping more people recognise the possible signs of gynecologic cancers.

For cervical cancer, Ireland’s CervicalCheck programme provides free cervical screening to eligible women and people with a cervix aged 25–65. Screening is for those without symptoms. Any concerns or symptoms should be discussed directly with a GP.

This September, help raise awareness.

💜 Know the possible signs.
💜 Listen to your body.
💜 Attend screening when eligible.
💜 Encourage conversations about women’s health.

Sometimes sharing a post can start an important conversation.

Where is stress felt? 💭

The answer isn’t the same for everyone.

For one person, a stressful week might mean tense shoulders or a clenched jaw. For another, it might bring butterflies in the stomach, restless nights or a feeling of being completely drained.

Stress isn’t only something experienced in the mind. The body’s stress response can affect breathing, heart rate, muscle tension, digestion and more.

That’s why becoming familiar with personal signs of stress can be so valuable 💜

Sometimes those tight shoulders, shallow breaths or restless evenings are a reminder that it’s time to make a little more space for rest and relaxation.

Reflexology provides dedicated time to slow down, switch off and reconnect with a sense of wellbeing 👣✨

Because we may all carry stress differently but everyone deserves time to unwind.

🍂 Autumn is a season of change and a lovely reminder to look after wellbeing as routines and rhythms begin to shift.

Shorter days can make it tempting to slow everything down, but a few simple habits can make a real difference.

Think warm, nourishing meals, staying hydrated, continuing to move even when life gets busy, prioritising quality sleep and creating a calm evening routine that allows time to properly switch off 💚

Self-care treatments such as reflexology can also provide dedicated time to pause, relax and reconnect, supporting an overall sense of wellbeing through the seasonal change. 👣

Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s simply about consistently making space for the things that help body and mind feel their best.

World Su***de Prevention Day 💛 Changing the narrative on su***de.

Su***de can affect anyone. Behind every statistic is a person, a family, a friend, a colleague and a community.

World Su***de Prevention Day is an opportunity to challenge stigma, encourage understanding and remind people that it’s okay to talk about su***de and mental health.

Sometimes, starting a conversation can feel difficult but simply asking someone how they really are, listening without judgement, or letting them know support is available can make a difference.

💛 Start the conversation.
💛 Listen without judgement.
💛 Reach out.
💛 Remind people they matter.

If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available in Ireland:

📞 Samaritans: 116 123 (free, 24/7)
📞 Pieta: 1800 247 247 (24-hour crisis helpline)
📱 Pieta: Text HELP to 51444
📱 Text About It: Text HELLO to 50808 (free, 24/7)

You never have to wait until things reach crisis point to reach out. A conversation can be the beginning of hope.

Stress can affect more than just how we feel, influencing the body as well as our overall sense of wellbeing 💭

When the body experiences stress, the sympathetic nervous system becomes more active, preparing it to respond to perceived challenges. This can influence heart rate, breathing, muscle tension, digestion and overall feelings of wellbeing.

Relaxation provides an important opportunity for the body and mind to slow down and rebalance after the demands of everyday life.

Through focused touch and a calming environment, reflexology can provide time and space to relax, switch off and recuperate from everyday pressures. 🥰

Making time for rest and relaxation is an important part of looking after our overall wellbeing.

Hello September 🌻

A new season, a new routine and a chance to pause and reflect.

The slower days of summer begin to fade, the familiar rhythm of life returns and suddenly we’re looking ahead to the months to come.

September is a lovely time to reflect on where you are, what the summer brought you, what you’ve learned and what you’d like to carry forward.

Not everything needs to change.
Not everything needs to be achieved.
Sometimes it’s simply about noticing where you are and taking the next step.

A gentle reminder to embrace the season you’re in 🍂
