Reflexology

Reflexology is a complementary therapy that helps the body to restore balance and improve health & wellbeing. It involves applying finger or thumb techniques of varying pressure to specific points on the feet or hands called reflexes. It is a non-invasive therapy and is suitable for all ages.

I am a Registered Reflexology Practitioner and a member of the National Register of Reflexologists Ireland (NRRI). The NRRI is a professional body dedicated to regulating the practice of reflexology as a complementary therapy in Ireland. I completed my Practitioner’s Diploma in Foot Reflexology in 2021 with the Irish School of Reflexology & Wellness in Dublin.

Since then, I have completed CPD training in

The Kruchik Method of ‘Reflexology for the Treatment of Pain’
Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD)
Maternity Reflexology &
Hand Reflexology

Continual professional development (CPD) is a requirement of reflexology associations to maintain membership and accreditation and something on which I place a lot of emphasis. There are many inspiring teachers in the field of reflexology and learning from them helps me to be better able to offer the most effective treatments to my clients.

I have a bright, relaxing home clinic space in Malahide. I also offer onsite wellness reflexology services to the corporate sector. Having worked in this setting for many years I understand the benefits it can provide to employees within a busy, fast-paced work environment.

The Origins of Reflexology

Healing the body through working the hands and feet is an ancient art that was practiced in a number of early cultures. The earliest evidence depicting the practice of reflexology was discovered on the walls of the tomb of an Egyptian physician called Ankhmahor.

Benefits of Reflexology

Helps the nervous system: Applying reflexology stimulates more than 14,000 nerves in the feet, which can encourage the opening and clearing of neural pathways which serve all our organs and glands, helping the body to return to its natural rhythms. Neural pathways can be stimulated or sedated through reflexology, depending on what the body needs at the time. Reflexology helps the nervous system to calm down and function more normally. Among other things this can help to improve sleep quality and mood and reduce anxiety levels.
Improves cardiovascular circulation allowing oxygen and nutrients to be carried to every cell of the body and waste products to be removed from them. The regulation of body temperature and the transportation of hormones also depend on this system. Stress and tension can cause restrictions in blood flow resulting in sluggish circulation. By reducing this tension reflexology helps the blood to flow more easily.
Improves lymphatic circulation/removal of toxins: The lymphatic system plays a vital role in the repair of injuries and in immunity. It is also an important element of the body’s waste removal system and supports the lungs, liver, kidneys, bowels and skin in removing waste from and thereby detoxifying the body. An ineffective lymphatic system increases our vulnerability to illness including cancers.

Testimonials

I’m so grateful to have found Lisa’s reflexology treatment service during my second pregnancy. I had never attended a reflexologist before so was unsure what to expect. Lisa created a calm relaxing space each visit, which is exactly what I needed with being pregnant and having a young baby at home also.
Lisa always made me feel at ease and guided me throughout my pregnancy with some pregnancy related issues I had encountered. Lisa went over and beyond to share her wealth of knowledge with me and shared tips to do at home to further enhance my treatments. She’s warm and caring and really takes the time to listen and evaluate concerns and issues to provide the best service she can. I cannot recommend her service enough and I hope to visit her postpartum too. Thank you so much Lisa.

I went to Lisa while pregnant with my little girl. I had never tried reflexology before and had no idea the positive impact it would have! It relieved my symptoms such as swelling, gut issues and asthma and I gave birth to a healthy little baby girl! I’ll be back in the future for sure! Thanks Lisa 💓

I had a number of reflexology sessions with Lisa May and experienced the effects almost immediately, in both my physical and mental health. In addition to the sessions, Lisa offered lots of well-informed strategies that I found very useful. The sessions themselves are very relaxing and Lisa did her utmost to address the areas of health that I was experiencing problems with. I would recommend her highly.

I have regular treatments with Lisa which help immensely with inflammation and muscle aches and pains. I have been treated by a few reflexologists throughout my dancing career and Lisa is by far the best. She is highly knowledgeable and very generous in sharing tips for care after each treatment. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Lisa is excellent. She is extremely knowledgeable and pays attention to detail. Sessions are thorough and very effective. She is meticulous in her assessment and planning. I would highly recommend her. She is fabulous.

I have had several reflexology sessions with Lisa recently post covid illness over Christmas. I found the treatments helped clear my sinus congestion issues and aided my very disturbed sleep pattern. I slept so well after each session and my nasal congestion cleared very quickly. I also felt very relaxed after treatments and enjoyed this immensely. Lisa is very knowledgeable and professional in her manner at all times and I would highly recommend her as a reflexologist.

I really enjoyed my reflexology sessions with Lisa. She was very knowledgeable and very helpful – I asked loads of questions! I found the sessions very good for destressing and I slept really well afterwards. Lisa came to my house for each session but it’s great to know that I could also go to hers if I can’t get the peace and quiet in my own house. I would really recommend Lisa if you are looking for a reflexologist.
