Welcome to our website
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 and affiliated schools.

CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Our CPD process is aimed at raising the public credibility of reflexology as a complementary therapy and for this reason it has been adopted with enthusiasm by our members engaged in professional practice.

CPD also offers the therapist the opportunity of life-long learning combined with on-going personal development synonymous with an improved quality of life for therapist and clients alike.

With such concepts in mind we have broadened the scope of CPD to a wider spectrum of professional activity, to include literary reviews, conferences and workshops, post-diploma courses, group activities, research projects, and volunteer work of a social o community nature.
