My Services

  • From our first emergence into the world we can experience challenges which may express symptomatically.
    Craniosacral therapy for babies and children offers a beautifully gentle hands-on treatment. This aims to ease areas of restriction, such as difficulty feeding, digestive issues, movement disorders, behavioural and mood problems among others which can impact the body’s ability to flourish.

    By working through the medium of Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy with babies & children, their families and caretakers we can aid recovery from and/or adapt to circumstances.

  • Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy offers a gentle hands-on therapy which can provide relief from some of the common discomforts experienced during pregnancy e.g. back ache, headaches, indigestion & heartburn.

    It can provide a relational safe space to explore this time of dynamic potential and change, and assist Mum in getting ready to welcome her new little one into the world.

    ”Love is the continuous birth of creativity within and between us”
    - John O'Donohue, ‘Anam Cara Spiritual Wisdom From The Celtic World.’

  • Using light touch Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy supports the body’s own healing mechanisms to treat a wide range of conditions associated with pain and dysfunction.

    Utilising relational safe connection, areas of tension and trauma held within the tissues of the body can be eased no matter how long they have been present.

    This encourages the body’s own inherent healing processes, allowing access to more ease and relief of symptoms.

    Examples of some conditions addressed, connective tissue disorders, autoimmune conditions, anxiety & stress and tension related problems.

About Me

I studied and received a BA Hons in Counselling & Psychotherapy while in a full-time Jobs Coach role. While exploring a depth Somatic therapy course, Craniosacral therapy found me, and life has not been the same since.
I retrained as a Biodynamic Craniosacral therapist, based in Co.Waterford, Ireland. You can read more about my journey in the ‘About’ section. Thank you for visiting my page.
