Who I Am and What I Do
My Background
I have worked in the area of holistic massage therapy for the past 6 years gaining vast experience working in holistic areas.
I have diplomas in therapies such as Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Indian head massage, Thai Yoga massage, Lomi lomi Hawaiian massage, Swedish massage, Sports massage, soft tissue release and Pre and post-Event massage and Deep tissue Cupping therapy massage.
I studied Neuromuscular physical therapy (NMPT) at NTC Dublin. As an NMT I specialise in the treatment of soft tissue pain and injury.
In my sessions I use a variety of therapies and techniques based on the client’s needs. Each treatment will be tailored to the individual to achieve the desired result and approach that works best for them.
Treatments
Reflexology
60 mins €60
Reflexology is a therapy that uses the feet as a map or mirror of the whole body. A non-invasive therapy that addresses reflex points in the feet to stimulate, treat and balance all the systems in the body. A very relaxing and healing treatment.
Oncology
massage treatments
60 minutes €70
I am fully qualified to work with cancer patients. The focus of these treatments is comfort. Each treatment will be adapted to suit any stage of cancer and post treatments. Adapted holistic massage, lymphatic drainage and reflexology can be given to anyone, at any stage of treatment. Massage is safe for everyone going through cancer. Massage does NOT spread cancer. Some people are still under this misconception and those who need it most are deprived of this powerfully relaxing and nurturing treatment. If you have had cancer or are currently being treated for same, please let me know when you are booking so that I can make sure to adapt the best treatment for you. Consultation is included in your first session.
Pregnancy massage
60 minutes €70
Pre-natal massage is therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the care that the mother-to-be needs as her body goes through many changes in pregnancy. It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation and general body tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue alleviating discomfort. This gentle noninvasive treatment can ease discomfort associated with pregnancy and help mum-to-be prepare for labor and give her nurturing emotional support.
Aromatherapy massage with essential oils
60 mins €75
A full body massage using essential oils of the client’s choice to achieve their desired therapeutic effect. It is a gentle treatment that is deeply relaxing for your physical and psychological wellbeing. Essential oils enhance the experience and are so effective in creating that euphoric feeling.
Gua Sha stone facial massage, including neck and head massage with acupressure point work.
40 mins €45
A special facial massage treating all the tiny muscles of the face with the use of a gua sha stone. A Gua Sha stone is a small hand-held tool with a smooth edge used slowly and gently to improve lymphatic drainage, decrease tension in the muscles of the face, neck and shoulders. Beneficial for everyone, especially those who work at a screen for hours a day, wear glasses, experience tension headaches, have tightness around the jaw or TMJ.
Lomi lomi Hawaiian massage therapy (back / Full body)
30/60 mins €50/70
Lomi lomi temple-style massage is truly healing on a deeper level. This traditional Hawaiian massage is about awakening the wisdom and connection within yourself and living a life of good health and happiness. This is a full body treatment that works gently yet deeply into the muscles with continuous, flowing strokes, allowing the recipient to relax and give in to the nurturing experience.
Lomi lomi works with the belief that memories are not just stored in the mind, but also in every cell of the human body. The long, continuous strokes of the massage are designed to help the body let go of its old behaviors and patterns, which can cause as much stresses as muscle tension.
Traditional Indian head massage
Seated
35 mins €50
This uplifting treatment is for the upper part of the body, the shoulders, upper arms, neck, head and face usually while the client is seated. Techniques used both stimulate and rejuvenate the scalp. This massage targets the areas where we hold most of our tension and stress. This treatment can be done over the clothes or alternatively with the use of oil on the skin. Head massage while lying down is another option.
Sports Massage
60 mins €70
Aims at recovery treatment after exercise and has been shown to reduce Delayed Onset muscle soreness experienced after exercise and/or competition. Particularly important for those who strive to maintain a strong sports career. This massage treatment is tailored to the client’s specific areas of concern or generally on the back, legs and arms. Tight muscles will compromise the joints they surround. Soft tissue release is an effective technique which helps to release tension and helps to ‘unstick’ the soft tissues. Suitable for anyone with tight muscles.
Cupping massage therapy
An Ancient Science
60 minutes €70
This treatment uses dry cupping during massage. Cupping therapy has been used for centuries for immunity, muscular adhesions and lymphatic drainage. Suctioned cups are moved in a smooth fluid motion over the surface of the skin, releasing stuck tissues such as the fascia and muscles in which they cover. The lift that the cups provide, essentially works as a deep tissue treatment, without pain. This therapy brings fresh blood to congested/stagnated areas. Moving cupping is used during massage over larger muscle groups. Spot cupping are cups that are placed in areas of tight muscle and fascia to ease adhesions and unstick tissues to gain better range of motion ultimately relieving pain. Benefits: Muscle pain and stiffness - Frozen shoulder - Headaches - Restricted mobility - Increases circulation throughout the body - Alleviates fluid retention - Boosts lymphatic drainage - Boosts immunity - Improves sleep - Helps common colds - Relieves asthma.
--- Disclaimer --- Discoloration can occur post treatment. Some discoloration is normal and expected and is an indication of tight areas. Dependant on skin type, some people will discolor quicker than others. When done properly you will not be left bruised. Those who should avoid cupping treatment - On blood thinners, Those with blood clots &Haemophiliacs.

The improved blood flow associated with scalp massage can relieve some forms of migraines as well as tension headaches. The massage techniques can also help headache trigger points to ease, thus helping facial and scalp muscles relax inducing a sense of calm and feeling cared for.
