HOLISTIC PRACTICE
PHILOSOPHY
What my clients say...
My interest in bodywork started while studying beauty therapy 15 years ago. I was amazed by the therapeutic benefits of massage, and I quickly became fascinated by the human body and the factors that affect our integral biology. From my early teens I suffered with chronic pelvic pain and I found therapies such as reflexology, aromatherapy and Lomi Lomi massage very beneficial for easing symptoms, .
Through my studies I came to understand the connection between spirit, mind & body, this helped me to understand and manage my condition. I knew then that I had found my path in life; to help facilitate others on their own healing journeys. I currently hold over 20 qualifications and I have several years experience working with people with chronic conditions and trauma. I am now based at Drogheda Holistic Centre where I specialise in Hawaiian healing bodywork.
My holistic philosophy is focused on treating the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. I specialise in women's health and trauma release. I have worked with many women to help with fertility, pregnancy, menopause and chronic conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibromyalgia etc. Through my studies I have found that repressed stress, grief and trauma can also play a role in chronic conditions by affecting the nervous and immune systems causing them to attack our own bodies. The Hawaiians understood health in terms of energy flow: a blockage disrupting the natural flow in our bodies manifests disease. Our treatments, which have been passed on through the lineage of Kahuna Abraham Kawai's "temple style" massage, are used to restore this flow of energy by helping the nervous system release trauma being held in the body. For more information please see the treatments menu below.
I strive to provide a safe and nurturing space for one to reconnect with themselves allowing their bodies to release and heal. During consultation I discuss with my clients any physical or emotional concerns they may have and what they would like to achieve from their sessions. With this information I can customize the treatment specifically through the use of different oils, techniques and my knowledge of Ayurveda and Hawaiian energy work to suit each person according to their chakra or dosha imbalance. This makes each treatment a unique and personal experience.
If you are unsure which treatment is the right one for you, contact me for a free consultation where we can create a treatment plan to best suit your needs.

Lomi Lomi Massage
Hawaiian Lomi Lomi is a complete healing system aimed at restoring balance and harmony within the spirit, mind & body.
​
This ancient form of bodywork uses intuitive movement, breathing, rhythm and focused intention as the Hawaiians understood health in terms of energy flow: a blockage disrupting the natural flow in our bodies manifests disease or ill-health. Lomi lomi has a depth to it that perhaps other massage techniques do not carry, in that Lomi also focuses in on an energetic and soul level bringing awareness and healing to all parts of the self.
​
The practitioner uses their forearms, hands and elbows in a deep dynamic flowing rhythm which has similarities to the waves of the ocean, this connects us to the natural rhythm of nature and life within each of us restoring balance. Rhythmic techniques and intuition are the great tools of the Lomi Lomi practitioner.
​
This technique can also be adapted to suit pregnancy from 12 weeks right up to due-date.

Bone Washing
Hawaiian bone washing releases “memories” and corresponding physical & emotional pain or trauma. It is an ancient form of therapeutic bodywork used to aid the process of clearing “cherished” wounds.
The treatment involves working, with a light touch, into the periosteum (the sheath or fascia surrounding the bones) to release memories that may be causing pain (physically, mentally or emotionally) or preventing one from moving on in life.
The touch for bone washing is quite light, so definitely not as extreme as it sounds! However the quality of the pressure or depth depends entirely on the needs of the receiver, The technique can also be incorporated into a lomi lomi massage to add a deeper layer of healing.
This form of bodywork is not a massage and although the touch is gentle, the affects felt are truly profound on every level.
The technique doesn't require the use of oil, so it can also be performed fully clothed.
