Hi, I’m Robbie.

My work is an offering of Somatic Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy and Mentoring and Coaching. My intention is to help you find a greater sense of physical and emotional ease in your body while supporting you in cultivating a deeper sense of self-connection.

I am a Somatic Therapist, Bodyworker and Facilitator.

I work online with clients internationally offering Hakomi Therapy and Somatic Mentoring and Coaching as well as in-person in Cork city offering Craniosacral Therapy and Somatic Therapy. I also facilitate somatic-based workshops through meditation, movement and shamanic-based practices.

Robbie’s Approach

My approach to healing is rooted in the wisdom of the body’s natural healing process. I am deeply passionate about supporting clients in exploring the mind-body connection, understanding how beliefs, thoughts, and memories create patterns of tension, and guiding them toward release. My integrative approach helps unravel physical tension, self-limiting beliefs, and unresolved emotions, allowing us to inhabit our natural state of being. I hold and deeply honor the body’s innate wisdom and healing capacity, trusting that when we are present, the body knows how to find balance and harmony.

Trainings and Qualifications

I am a qualified practitioner of Hakomi Therapy, a somatic-based approach that invites mindful exploration of our inner experience. My work as a Somatic Therapist emphasizes deep listening, presence, and attunement, helping clients connect more intimately with their inner experiences. By gently guiding awareness to the sensations, emotions, and beliefs held within the body, I support the process of uncovering the wisdom, resilience, and healing potential that naturally arises when we listen deeply to ourselves.

I am also trained in Craniosacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute, a gentle body therapy that restores balance, supports the nervous system, and helps release stress and trauma by working with the cerebrospinal fluid and connective tissue. My bodywork training includes Myofascial and Neuromuscular Massage, Deep Tissue, and Ayurvedic Yoga Massage Therapy. Additionally, I am certified in the Emmett Technique, a gentle body therapy that releases pain and discomfort through precise touch.

Interests and Inspirations

My work is inspired by a deep love for somatic-based meditation and movement practices. For over a decade, I have been dedicated to Buddhist and Tibetan meditation practices. I am also passionate about the natural world, drawing inspiration from my background in Horticulture and Permaculture and my deep connection to plants, animals, and the earth.

Story of Body & Wisdom

I founded Body & Wisdom in 2017 while living in Dublin, Ireland. The name embodies a union: Body, representing our connection to the physical body and the earth—our grounded, receptive nature; and Wisdom, symbolizing our connection to spirit—our insight, clarity, and inner knowing. This integration of Body and Wisdom brings the spirit into form, allowing us to embody the soul through the soma—grounded, whole, and fully alive.

“Robbie is a kind, gentle and adept space holder. I just had my first session and it was so profoundly healing. I was deeply witnessed, held and loved throughout the process. The space was so beautiful too, I felt like the healing began as soon as I walked into the room…”
