Why the healing field for Kate and Carmel?

Kate's Story: I was very ill and had almost given up on myself as I was unable to function properly. I was at the end of my tether when a friend advised me to try Kinesiology I was sceptical at first but then was hooked. It changed my life. Through Kinesiology I learned that I was eating the wrong foods and they were affecting my energy. It wasn't just about nutrition though.

I found myself on so many levels, I learned to relax, my moods improved greatly, I had more confidence and got my energy back. Put simply, I was a new woman. I wanted to know more which led me to study Kinesiology and from there I went on to study holistic massage Indian head massage and Reiki. I am very passionate about my work and any opportunity I get I love to attend workshops and seminars.

Carmel's Story: I started out looking for something to help cope with the stresses and strains of a busy life. I was under constant pressure looking after my father and coping with a young family. It was while trying to cope with and understand why I had developed irritable bowel syndrome that I went down the complimentary road and have never looked back. I love what I do and never miss an opportunity to attend seminars and workshops.

Reiki.

Reiki is an ancient art of hands-on healing that uses a universal energy that is channelled into the client's body through a Reiki practitioner's hands. It's a natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to help relieve side effects and promote recovery. It is a very gentle yet extremely powerful therapy that is beneficial for emotional, physical and spiritual healing. Reiki is suitable for everybody regardless of their beliefs and every day it is being used to improve the lives of people throughout Ireland.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it. Reiki has many benefits and can be used in harmony with conventional medicine.

Colour Therapy

Colour therapy is a non-intrusive therapy which helps to balance the body on many levels. Colour has a profound effect on us on all levels. There are seven main chakras (energy centres) of the body. These chakras are like spirals of energy, each one relating to the others. If our energy centres become blocked or depleted then our body cannot function properly. This can lead to a varIET®y of problems on any level; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Using the seven colours of the spectrum, colour therapy aims to re-balance and enhance our body's chakras. It also helps stimulate our body's own healing process.

Colour healing can heal and comfort, soothe and energise, unlock your creativity, reveal your potential, change your mood, release energy blockages and alleviate physical, mental and emotional conditions. It can help you to change your attitude and move forward in life. The energy vibrations of colours can be used to align with the energy vibrations of the different parts of our body. This has the effect of bringing our personal energy back into balance. Once balance is achieved, optimum conditions are created for healing to take place.
