Combined Therapy

There are many ways in which Áine combines her training and experience.

A unifying theme in all her work is Áine’s wish to support her clients to be themselves as wholeheartedly as they can and to reconnect with their own wellbeing.

It will be obvious that Áine is drawn to holism, i.e. non dualism, the unity of the physical – mental – spiritual – emotional. This manifests in her practice as an interest and ability to work with subtle body sensation with psychotherapy clients and to relate to the emotional and mental aspects of physical suffering with bodywork clients.

There are times when Áine contracts to work with clients according to their needs at a particular session. In such instances some sessions will be spent in counselling mode while others emphasise contact through the body – either way the intention is to meet the client with compassionate awareness in the present.

With body therapies there are times when overlap is helpful. For example, Áine may draw on her Shiatsu knowledge during a craniosacral therapy treatment. This may happen when manipulation of a particular point might be helpful in e.g., the relief of shoulder, neck and back pain. The reverse may occur in a Shiatsu treatment when craniosacral contact may be helpful at, for example, a joint or the sacrum. Reiki may be given with both Craniosacral Therapy and Shiatsu to enhance the healing possibilities.
