We are a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing Ireland with a register of professional Reflexologists and training centres. NRRI Members are accredited as a professional practitioners by IRISH LIFE Health, LAYA-Healthcare and VHI Healthcare.
The NRRI was established in 1998 as a registered non-profit making professional body to regulate the practice of reflexology in Ireland as a complementary therapy, through qualified registered members (currently about 700 active members) and accredited schools (currently 8 schools).
The practical aims of the NRRI can be summarised as follows:

- To establish the educational criteria necessary to qualify as a professional Reflexologist and maintain continual professional development.
- To compile and maintain a National Register of accredited Schools of Reflexology.
- To provide and enforce a Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct for the benefit of registered practitioners and their clients.
- To provide and maintain professional standards of excellence and competence.

- To promote reflexology and support NRRI members via social media (facebook, instagram).

Registrants are entitled to use the designatory letters MNRRI denoting Member(ship) of the National Register of Reflexologists (Ireland) and to use the title of 'Registered Reflexologist' on their professional letterheads, business cards, and promotional material.
