Practitioner’s Diploma in foot Reflexology
New term starting on the 27th and 28th of February
The Irish School of Reflexology provides professional training in traditional reflexology, which enables students to build their own practice or add to their existing health care practice.
Diploma Certification gained from Irish School of Reflexology
Fully Accredited
The ISR is Accredited with the National Register of Reflexologists IRL. At the end of the year, the students will be awarded a Diploma in Traditional Foot Reflexology (recognised by all the major health insurance companies- VHI, Aviva, LayaHealthcare) and will be able to start their own practice, go to work in hospital, daycare centre, hospices, spas, and hotels.
“At the ISR we aim to teach every individual, not just the group, looking to specific ways to help each one of our students in this process in a way that is tailored exactly to them,” says Tatiana Grosso Lawless, Principal of the Irish School of Reflexology.
“We want our students to feel confident in their own practice so when they finish the Diploma course they are in a position to confidently and effectively help their clients with their own complaints and problems. Helping others to heal is our mission and the priority in everything that we teach.
“The Diploma is part-time (one weekend per month) which means our students will only need to attend one weekend per month only. No previous experience needed.
“Part of our syllabus will be teaching the A&P in a way that students will use that knowledge in their treatment. Knowing how the body works will be very useful to understand how to help our clients when the body is not in balance or ill.
“We will be also covering the theory of Reflexology, holistic approach, practical work, and much more. We are very proud of the level of training we provide to our students and they seem to appreciate that.”
Some of the modules are:
- How to use Reflexology to work on specific illnesses and conditions as well as the whole body
- How to set up your own Reflexology practice
- Maternity and Infertility Reflexology
- An introduction to hand Reflexology
- Anatomy and physiology- all the systems of the body. Understand order in order to understand disorders

ITEC Level 3 Certificate in Diet and Nutrition for Complementary Therapists
Starting 9th February 2021 – Online Only. Download the course brochure at: https://www.irishschoolofreflexology.com/nutritionlevel3itec
This course complements Reflexology ( but also other holistic therapies) so well because, as reflexologists, we know how health encapsulates the physical, mental, and spiritual energies. Health comes from an holistic approach that takes into consideration the whole picture: we are what we eat, we are what we do and we are what we think. So keeping all this in mind: what we do needs to be healing, what we eat needs to be strengthening, what we think needs to be uplifting. People today are developing a new and responsible attitude to themselves, a new concept of sickness and health, and this in turn is leading them to preventative methods of healing therapies that gives them faith in themselves. We, as Reflexologists, can support our clients in this journey by adding this skill to our knowledge library. This qualification is geared towards learners who want to work within the complementary therapy industry.
I am very excited to start this new adventure! I have always been interested in Nutrition. But the role and importance of Nutrition became clearer to me as I progressed with my studies and as I was working with my own patients.
I have started to appreciate even more the benefits of having a proper diet while practicing and teaching Reflexology. As we know Health comes from a combination of different factors. And diet plays a crucial role in the scenario. This course is designed for Therapists who want to add to their existing skills or want to progress in the Health industry as it will open up other opportunities.
The aim of the Irish School of Reflexology is to promote and support the healing journeys of our students and their clients.
This course provides the related knowledge and understanding required to advise the client on healthy eating and well-being; in particular health and safety considerations, the role and sources of nutrients required for a balanced diet and to maintain good health, understanding of metabolism, and the basic rules and guidelines to food labelling.
The main aim of the Level 3 Certificate in Diet and Nutrition for Complementary Therapists is to enable learners to gain the necessary theoretical skills in order to provide healthy eating advice to their clients and to gain employment in the complementary therapy industry.
The student will gain knowledge in the following areas:
• Diet and nutrition – to include dietary requirements such as; roles of carbohydrates, protein, fibre, vitamins, nutritional value of foods, effects of antioxidants and common ailments.
• The student will also learn about related health and safety, and client care and communication which is essential in order to work and be successful in the industry.
This qualification also provides:
• The related knowledge and understanding required to perform the healthy eating skills listed above effectively, in particular the dietary requirements and common diseases and disorders
• Opportunities for learners to focus on the development of their wider skills in a dietary advice setting, such as communicating with clients, working with others and problem solving
• Opportunities for learners to develop a range of skills, techniques, personal qualities and attitudes essential for successful performance in employment as a healthy eating adviser.
