About Reflexology

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is the practice of treating points and areas on the feet and hands that relate to corresponding parts of the body. Using precise hand and finger techniques, it encourages your body to heal itself at its own pace. It is a fully complementary therapy and you can have treatments even when you are on medication.

Reflexology dates back 5,000 years, and was used by the Egyptians, Chinese and Native Americans. They believed that a technique of applying gentle pressure to your hands or feet can bring about a state of relaxation and help the body’s own healing process.

Reflexology treats the whole person, not just their symptoms. It arrived in Ireland in the 1980’s and has rapidly grown in popularity here becoming firmly established as an effective and gentle form of holistic therapy. 

Who can benefit from Reflexology?

Reflexology is suitable for all ages - from new-borns to teens through to senior citizens. Some of the conditions which can be treated by Reflexology are:

Headaches/Migraine

Back and Chronic Pain

Insomnia

Stress

Anxiety

Fertility and Menstrual Complications

Menopause

Sinusitis, Ear and Throat Issues

Multiple Sclerosis

Heart Health including Circulation and Blood Pressure

Asthma

Digestion and Constipation

Sciatica

Arthritis

Fibromyalgia

Lupus

Diabetes

What to expect from a Reflexology treatment

A treatment typically lasts one hour. On the first visit, I will conduct a full personal health consultation. This will take into consideration your past and present health and lifestyle. The consultation enables the treatment to be tailored to your specific needs.

Reflexology is non-invasive. You remain fully-clothed throughout the treatment; only shoes and socks are removed. It is a soothing, calming and relaxing experience. Many people fall asleep during the treatment, while others savour the opportunity to take time out from their busy lives and recharge their batteries.

About Me

I’m Anne Arthur. I am a registered nurse and midwife who worked for many years in the NHS. I have been practising as a reflexologist since 2011, providing treatments at a local cancer support centre as well as to clients in my private clinic. Since 2020, I have been teaching reflexology and baby massage (“reflexage”) to new mums.

I am a fully registered member of Bord Altranais and the Irish Reflexology Institute Limited. As a member of both these professional bodies, I hold professional indemnity insurance, am committed to continuous professional development and abide by a strict set of ethics and standards.

If you have private health insurance, you may be able to claim some of your reflexology treatment on your policy.

“Love going weekly to Anne for maternity reflexology. Am 34 weeks now and so far it has helped with swelling in feet and hands, feel less stressed and am sleeping better. She is so professional and has great advice.”

“Would recommend Anne and reflexology to any of my pregnant friends. Anne is amazing at what she does and as she is trained in mid-wifery she is great for advice and assurance. Will definitely keep it up after baby arrives.”

Baby Reflexage

“Brilliant course. Anne is so informative and has such a beautiful caring nature. Her attention to detail and the environment she created for us made it a really special experience for both mums and bubs. X”

“We have loved the classes and the babies have really benefitted from them too. It was lovely to meet you and the other mums and babies” (mum of twins)

“Really enjoyed the baby massage and reflexology course. Anne’s videos that she sent on after classes were a great help to refresh any techniques. Highly recommend.”

“I have completed a 4 week baby massage and reflexology class with Anne and I couldn’t recommend this class highly enough. A lovely relaxed atmosphere with a fantastic instructor. I really enjoyed meeting other lovely mums and the invaluable massage techniques themselves which I regularly do with my little man. It really was such a lovely bonding time with baby. Thanks again.”

“I want to thank you so much for the wonderful classes. It was great to learn the techniques and meet other lovely mothers and babies, especially during the current circumstances.” (Zoom classes during Covid lockdown)

“Finn and I loved our classes at Tiny Toes. Anne was so lovely and welcoming, so zero stress during any baby meltdowns. The classes were a lovely experience to have had during the Covid restrictions. We had a mix of in-person and on-line classes that were fantastic, with super massage techniques t help with teething and colic, as well as sleep. Would definitely recommend Tiny Toes to mums and dads.”

“Tiny Toes reflexology and baby massage was such an enjoyable experience for myself and my daughter. She enjoyed every second of it, having a great nap after the classes. I have used some of the techniques on my older daughter with teething and she loves it too. Anne is a very caring person who listens to parents and their concerns. She is very knowledgeable in all baby matters which I found very helpful. I could not recommend Anne and the baby massage classes highly enough. We looked forward to it every week.”

“Having completed 4 weeks of Tiny Toes baby massage and reflexology classes on-line with Anne, I cannot but highly recommend. Anne is extremely warm, welcoming and inclusive to all those taking part. Anne is a very genuine person who cares about both mummies and babies, and the techniques we learned have helped me through 2 episodes of teething already and other problems alike. Myself and my daughter very much enjoyed the classes and couldn’t recommend them more to any mammy and baby who would like an hour of bonding together with a knowledgeable and lovely lady guiding me through the techniques.”

“Having taken part in both face-to-face and on-line classes, I would highly recommend them. Anne is so warm and welcoming and very knowledgeable. She strives to promote the well-being of both babies and parents. The classes provided a great opportunity to meet other parents and their little ones and to chat and share ideas and experiences in a relaxed and non-judgemental atmosphere. As I missed a face-to-face class, Anne generously provided me the opportunity to take place in the class again on-line.”

It is a gentle and natural way to enhance bonding between parent and baby. The calming effects of touch through massage and reflexology are hugely beneficial to both baby and parent.

I will teach you techniques to help your baby with comfort and sleep; colic, reflux and constipation; teething, colds and coughs. These techniques can be used anywhere and at any time.

All courses are run by me, a Tiny Toes-qualified baby reflexage instructor. Each course comprises 4 weekly classes of approximately 1 hour 15 minutes duration. Classes are supported by handouts and videos showing the techniques covered by the course.
