Healing Area

Picture
The Healing Area  is set in its own beautiful and secluded part of the site. It is quiet and peaceful, and there you will find experienced, professional practitioners offering a variety of healing disciplines. This is a place where you can rest and be nourished.


​Practitioners charge a fee for their services and their prices are at their own discretion. However we have asked them to keep it affordable, so they charge less than their usual rates, with sessions costing around €30-€40 for an hour.




​To book an appointment, go to the healing area where there is a sign up system for sessions, with allocated times for each practitioner. Make your booking in good time to save disappointment.

Madhuri - Vedic Astrology
​
​​Over the years Madhuri has immersed herself in Hindhu/Vedic philosophy and practice. Since childhood she had an interest in astrology and in later years upon discovering Vedic astrology or Jyotish she embarked on a serious study of this subject. Combining her love for Jyotish, Vedic philosophy and art resulted in the publication of a little book and 27 cards. She lives in the hills of Ireland.
Have a look at the cards here: 1008vedicastrology.com/27-nakshatra-cards/


Vedic Astrology Readings:
Jyotish or the Science of light is the ancient Vedic form of Astrology. It was developed by the Sages of Ancient India and is based on the same principles as Yoga, Ayurvedic healing and Vedic Philosophy.

A Vedic Astrology reading will give us real insight into who we are, why we are here, what the karmas expect and how to live our life as an individual to our full potential in accordance with Sanatan Dharma or Universal Law.

Sophie Rieu - Biodynamic Cranio Sacral Therapy
Biodynamic cranio sacral therapy is a powerful yet gentle, non invasive hands on therapy that helps bring about wholeness and coherence in your body at a very deep cellular level. It is profoundly relaxing and works on a physical as well as an emotional plane. I have practiced as a biodynamic cranio sacral therapist for the last four years and I have seen it work wonders for babies, children and adults alike for a wide range of issues: anything related to stress and difficult situations at work, traumas, troubles of the nervous system, support for healing of injuries, whiplash, muscular tightness, frozen shoulders, colic, digestion and sleep problems, support while undergoing surgery or chemotherapy, vertigo, tinnitus, difficult births…

Lisa Lionheart - Shamanic Soul Therapy
I work on a soul level to facilitate transformation in alignment for your highest good and healing. This may involve the release of blockages in your physical, mental and emotional bodies from this life  or past lives. Often, new energies and upgrades are brought in. This process is mainly done in the spirit world with the assistance of drum, rattle and my voice.  Some body work may also be involved. At the end of each session I share insights into your journey and  finish with a Spirit Animal Card reading to help integrate the experience.

Isabelle Canivet - Tuina Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and Acupuncture
Isabelle Canivet studied in the Irish College of Oriental Medicine.
She is a fully qualified practitioner of Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Cupping, Chinese Herbal Medicine and Tuina Massage.
 
Tuina is an oriental body work therapy. Tui meaning "push" and na meaning "grasps." Tuina uses the traditional Chinese Medical theory of the flow of Qi through the meridians. With the application of massage and manipulation techniques, Tuina seeks to establish a more harmonious flow of  Qi allowing the body to naturally heal itself.
 
Acupuncture is a complex medical system that is used to diagnose and treat illness, prevent disease and improve well being. It involves the insertion of extremely fine pre-sterilised needles at predetermined points on the body`s surface to restore health on a physical, psychological and emotional level.

Aprile Blake - Shamanic Energy Body Clearings
"I am primarily a Medicine Woman initiated and trained in shamanic and spiritual medicine traditions in South America and Africa. I was guided by a brain tumour, which has been with me for over 20 years, and which strongly pushed me to find healing. I have, thus, explored many forms of medicine; from the conventional to the alternative and to that of other realms."

Energy Body Clearings:
"I work, mostly hands-off, to realign the human energy field and restore it to its healthful state, aligned with the true self. This can mean, for example: freeing up stuck emotional, mental or spiritual knots, stitching up a damaged aura, grounding, cutting cords, removing blockages, intrusions and programs. Any other energetic reconfiguration, to achieve free energy flow, is also possible."

Claire Marie Barton - Sound Healing and Angel Card Readings
Sound healing is the therapeutic use of sound frequencies to bring your body, mind and spirit back to a state of harmony and health.  I use my voice as well as instruments such as singing bowls and chimes during the session to balance your chakras and will sing you an intuitive medicine song to give your body what it needs at that moment.  I  like to combine sound healing with Reiki and angel card readings.  The angels want to help us and the cards are an excellent way to connect with their guidance and wisdom. When you are relaxed after the sound, you are more open to the messages which aim to lovingly empower you by giving you a better understanding of your situation and offer suggestions of what to do next.  For more information please check out my website www.clairemariebarton.com or come for a chat in the healing area!

Margaret Comerford (Harkirat Kaur) - Sat Nam Rasayan
Sat Nam Rasayan means " Deep Healing in the Divine Name "
This Ancient  Healing Art has been practiced by Saints and Sages for centuries. In this Healing technique we use only our meditative mind. Blockages in the body are helped to release to allow the self healing abilities of the body to become active.
A treatment is deeply relaxing, non invasive and will assist with physical ailments, emotional and mental disorders, stress and severe illnesses, chronic conditions, stress reduction and personal transformation.
It allows the client to experience a deeper understanding of self, and assists on the path of personal transformation.
I also practice reflexology and enjoy this treatment very much. I run a Yoga and Healing Center in Co. Kilkenny where I teach Kundalini Yoga.
