FAQs
How is the holistic approach different to conventional medicine?
The holistic approach is about caring for the whole person rather than just their physical symptoms and ailments, it also considers their mental, emotional, social and spiritual wellness. It is based on an understanding that all these factors together influence your overall health and wellbeing and when you are unwell or unbalanced in any one area it can affect you in others.
It is my belief that when we take the whole person into account the capacity for healing and transformation is far greater. This approach also helps me to guide you towards the right treatments and techniques to help you and offer the best possible outcome in your journey towards wellness.
Please note that my approach is fully respectful and complementary to allopathic medicine and I will never seek to take the place of your GP or sound medical advice.
Are your treatments covered by my health insurance?
As a proud member of the Irish Reflexologists Institute I am recognised as a Reflexology provider by Irish Life, VHI, Laya Healthcare & Glo Health. Depending on your policy you may be eligible for a refund for a portion of your treatment costs depending on your level of cover.
Please check with your insurer and see what is included within your personal health care plan. This applies to the Republic Of Ireland only.
How do I know which treatment is right for me?
It can be hard to know which treatment is right when you don't know what is wrong. This is why I have created ‘The Wellness Experience’ as one of my Signature Rituals. It is entirely focused on your needs at the moment and is a great place to start. In this ritual we begin with an in-depth consultation followed by the initial treatment. I have found over the years that Reflexology and Bio Energy are excellent treatments to start with as they are so comprehensive in what they can treat. Even one session can make a huge difference. Hidden Mind may also be incorporated into the session depending on your needs on the day.
Following the treatment you will also receive a bespoke Wellness Solution with your recommended course of treatment. Like any other change or self improvement, wellness takes personal commitment. It is through this carefully curated program that you can begin to experience real results and achieve true transformation through wellness.
What if I already know what treatment I want?
If you are more clear about your needs then I suggest having a scroll through the treatment menu and see which treatment stands out to you the most. Often we know intuitively what we need so go ahead and see what appeals to you. All treatments include a consultation before we begin and are personalised to your needs on the day.
For skincare issues I do suggest beginning with the Signature Facial as it includes an in depth skin analysis along with the consultation, as well as discussing your current home-care routine and goals.
How often should I have a treatment?
This totally depends on the current state of your health and your short and long term goals.
Facials
When it comes to skincare facials are recommended on a regular basis to ensure the best results. I recommend either once a month, once every six weeks or once a season depending on your individual skin type, skin concerns and skincare goals. For chronic skin conditions I may also recommend a combination of treatments such as Hidden Mind, Bio Energy or Reflexology.
Bio Energy Healing
The gold standard for Bio Energy Healing is to have four sessions over four consecutive days with a follow up set of 3-4 sessions 6 to 8 weeks later. Much of the first 4 sessions is spent clearing negative energy from the body/mind system as well as re establishing and rebalancing the flow of energy in the body’s vital energy systems of chakras, meridians and auric fields. The second series of treatments works to enhance the effect of the first four sessions and ensure your energy system is strengthened, harmonised and balanced.
If you are not able to attend for four consecutive days then two days one week and two days the following week is also OK. The reason we recommend having them consecutively is that there is a build up of energy over the four days which can contribute greatly to the overall benefit you receive.
Bio Energy Healing also works beautifully to support a healthy immune system and so regular sessions once or twice a year is a great way to invest in your health and wellbeing long term.
Reflexology
For Reflexology I highly recommend a minimum of 4 sessions, ideally 4 weeks in a row. However many clients come for a longer series of treatments, depending on their concerns. I can say without doubt that I have seen the greatest transformation in clients who have come to me over the course of a year, sometimes week after week over many months. In these cases there has been a very definite change in the body/mind system which has moved them over time to a place of wellness, happiness and peace. They have also often included some Bio Energy or Hidden Mind sessions which have helped them greatly in achieving their wellness goals.
