Energy Healing is the clearing and balancing of the energy field around the human body (aura) and the energy centres within the body (chakras). There are more advanced clearing and balancing available also but this is it on a basic level. The chakra's, represent different emotions/areas of your life. See the image below as an example of some of the areas associated with these energy centres and what causes them to be balanced and unbalanced. Physical pains and ailments can also result from your energy being out of balance as well as mental, emotional and spiritual imbalances. When your energy is balanced it is easier to adapt and manage life stresses and pressures including work, parenthood and relationships.

Energy Healing is commonly used to assist with: ​ Stress, overwhelm, anxiety, grief, irregular sleep patterns, lacking confidence, clarity/focus, feeling flat or not yourself, people pleasing, feeling disempowered, lacking confidence, being indecisive, cutting ties to toxic relationships and environments to name just a few. When your body/mind/spirit are in balance all areas of your life seem easier and flow better. Energy Healing is a great way to relax, unwind and nourish yourself. After a session clients feel lighter, brighter, more in tune and feel able to take on the World.

Remedial Massage and dry needling are commonly used to assist with: ​ Chronic pain, muscle tightness, back/shoulder/neck pain or stiffness, sports injuries, jaw pain and clenching, muscle restrictions, mobility and flexibility, headaches and ease of movement. After a session, clients generally feel relaxed, energised, have more freedom of movement and less pain/restriction.

Each massage and energy healing session is tailored to the client to meet their needs, each session may draw from a range of modalities at no additional cost to the client, except for hot stone massage which incurs an additional €20 and require pre-booking for heating and set up time. For more information on the types of modalities offered, please see the services page.

I will greet you at the door at your appointment time and walk you to the treatment room. The room is en suite should you need to use the facilities. I will invite you to take a seat and we will discuss what you filled in on your new client intake form online when booking and any other areas of concern you may have. I will then get you to lie on the treatment table, on your back with your head on a cushion and I will cover you with some blankets so you are nice and cosy. All your clothes stay on but I usually ask you to remove your shoes, only if you are comfortable doing so. I will explain some of the methods I may use and some of the feelings/sensations you may have has the session progresses. Most people just fall asleep while I work on them and I have a chat towards the end about what came up for you during the session. Some sensations you may feel are: hot, cold, tingling, buzzing, feeling flowing sensations or blocks depending on what I am clearing. You may have memories pop up or emotions come to the surface while we are clearing but its just passing through to be released but like I said most people just feel so relaxed they sleep through the whole thing until our chat at the end. At the end I will explain what came up in your system and give suggestions on anything that may assist you going forward. Clients leave feeling lighter, brighter and feeling more capable to handle life's pressures.

Laura is only available to be booked for Energy Healing appointments and Ben is only available for massage appointments.

Depending on your goals, be it general health and wellbeing I would recommend at least once a month. If you are looking for an addition to your recovery program, I would recommend either weekly or fortnightly treatment, depending on your level of activity and goals.

I would recommend a session once a month to keep your energy clear and chakra's (energy centres) aligned. Life is very stressful for most so it is a great way to keep on top of your health and wellbeing rather than waiting for a build up or crisis before seeking assistance. At times of high stress or emotional disturbance I would recommend a few weekly or fortnightly sessions during these periods reverting back to less frequency as symptoms and stress subside.

At the moment Ben does not offer prenatal / pregnancy massage as he is not trained in it.

It’s a myth that any form of massage therapy (even deep tissue massage) must be painful to be effective. Pain during a massage isn’t a sure sign that the massage is helping. In fact, pain can cause muscles to seize up, making it harder for the massage therapist to ease tense areas. Certain techniques, like trigger point therapy, usually cause soreness. Correcting a soft tissue problem (such as adhesions, tight attachments, and trigger points) can also cause some discomfort. However, if you don’t have a soft tissue condition, a massage shouldn’t cause soreness or pain. Open communication with your massage therapist is key to a massage that meets your needs. If you have an injury or chronically tight or painful areas, be sure that your therapist is aware of it before the start of the session. If the pressure is too intense, tell your massage therapist immediately so he can ease up.

You may have a bit of local tenderness following a massage which may last for 1 - 2 days, this is normal. If it persists for longer, discuss with your therapist to change either the pressure or technique used to reduce this outcome.

No, you can undress to your level of comfort. At minimum underwear will need to be worn during the massage and you are covered with towels/blankets. Only the area being worked on will be exposed and then re-covered before the next area is worked on. If you are not comfortable to take off any clothes, most massage techniques can be adapted to be done through clothing 'dry work', with a few exceptions.

Absolutely. Many people just book in for Energy Healing for a general clear out and balance or for massage as a treat/unwind. Self care is so important to schedule into our busy lifestyles. 'You can't pour from an empty cup' so looking after yourself will not only benefit you but also those around you. Treat yourself today.
