I am a Somatic Therapist, Bodyworker and Facilitator. I work in private practice in Cork city offering individual sessions in somatic talk-therapy, integrative bodywork and therapeutic massage. I also run somatic-based workshops in meditation, movement and shamanic-based practices.

My body-centered approach to healing is rooted in the deep wisdom of the natural healing process of the body.  I have a particular interest in the area of stress and trauma and see my work as holding space for another in exploring our mind-body connection and the relationship our beliefs, thoughts and memories have in creating holding patterns and tension in the body. My somatic-based approach supports others in exploring and unravelling physical tension, beliefs and emotions in the body so we can inhabit more deeply our natural state of being.

I am trained in several bodywork and massage therapies including Myofascial and Neuromuscular Massage, Deep Tissue and Ayurvedic Yoga Massage Therapy. In addition, I am qualified in the Emmett Technique, a body therapy involving gentle touch to specific pressure points, helping to release physical pain and emotional discomfort within the body. Since 2019, I have been training in the Hakomi Method, a somatic therapy and method of assisted self-discovery. I am currently completing my training in Craniosacral Therapy which focuses on regulating our nervous system and supporting the body in releasing stress and trauma through working with the cerebrospinal fluid and connective tissue. 

I also have a deep interest in somatic-based meditation and movement practices. I have been involved in Buddhist and Tibetan meditation practices for over 10 years. I also have a background in Horticulture and Permaculture and a deep love for nature, plants and animals.
