Sinéad Griffin

Sinéad Griffin ~ Holistic Therapist offering deep tissue massage, ayurvedic yoga massage, indian head massage & reflexology Sinéad has been practicing yoga, spirituality and healing modalities for over 7 years. She is a light-hearted soul who strongly believes in our ability to heal ourselves, and shares these modalities as a complement & support to help her clients along their own personal journeys.Having worked & trained in Ireland, Spain and most recently India, she has found a real connection & faith upon discovering massage and bodywork as a form of deep healing for ones self.

Deep tissue massage; An oil based massage that involves long, slow strokes and direct pressure to target deeper tissues and muscular trauma.

Deep tissue massage provides targeted release, gently but firmly, by breaking down these adhesions for greater range of motion, pain relief and full-body release. Sinéad provides a deep, grounding treatment that will nourish you from root to tip. This massage is 60 minutes

Ayurvedic Yoga massage;A full body treatment that combines elements of deep tissue massage, yoga-based stretches and breathwork. This massage opens the body, so that you experience a total rejuvenation. The treatment brings you a sense of openness and well-being on a physical, mental and emotional level.The massage takes about 75 minutes and is tailored to individual needs and complaints. (60 minutes is also possible)

Indian Head Massage;The ultimate nerve calming treatment that works primarily on the head, neck, face and shoulders. This deeply relaxing treatment creates a feeling of bliss and restoration for the entire body systems and helps to relieve headaches, poor sleeping patterns and tensions in the head, neck and upper chest areas.30 or 45 minutes treatments available

Reflexology;Reflexology is based on the principle that reflexes in the foot correspond to all the glands, organs and parts of the body. By stimulating these reflex areas, the treatment directly corrects physical imbalances within the body and indirectly corrects emotional imbalance. The energy pathways of the body are opened and the body’s immune system is boosted. Reflexology is aimed at correcting the three negative factors involved in the disease process – congestion, inflammation and tension.Treatment duration is 1 hour.

Nigel Hanlon - Thai Yoga Massage

Nigel Hanlon has been practising Thai Yoga massage for 7 years since 2017 and has studied Osteopathy and is combining Osteopathic techniques with Thai massage.

The origins of Thai massage come from Indian and Buddhist traditions, including Ayurveda and yoga science of the mind and body connection. Meanwhile, it received its name as Thai massage, or Nuad Boran in Thailand, because it is in Thailand where the practice has mainly been preserved.


As per tradition massages are done fully clothed and on a mat on the ground. Nigel works through static and dynamic movements with a focus on working energy lines from the feet to the head. It includes a combination of compression and acupressure and “rocking” or dynamic movement to release areas of stagnation and free the flow of energy in the body. There are many physical benefits, along with bringing renewed mental, emotional and energetic balance.

Physical benefits:

  • Removes toxins from accumulated areas
  • Encourages free flow of blood and regulate blood pressure
  • Improves posture and corrects body-misalignements
  • Helps relieve muscle tension and stiffness
  • Tones internal organs
  • Provides deep rest for the body
  • Increases or rebalances energy

Mental and psychological benefits:

  • Helps relieve stress and aid relaxation
  • Fosters peace of mind
  • Promotes a relaxed state of mental alertness

John McCann - Lomi Lomi Massage

Aloha friends, my name is John, I am a spirited and passionate lomi lomi massage practitioner and energy worker. I have a deep belief in the ability of holistic and natural therapies to help heal us in mind, body and soul for well-being, balance and a more harmonious life. To that end I have dedicated my life’s purpose to learning and applying the many different methods and modalities that work best with my given talents.

Lomi lomi:

Lomi lomi is an incredible massage experience originating from Hawaiian culture. It is a very powerful and often spiritual massage treatment that uses deep flowing full body hand and forearm strokes to help release the body from muscular tension, the mind to relax and release stress, and the soul to rebalance and harmonise the energy systems of your being. Truly an experience like no other with a deep sense of connection to all, peace within and love for self.

Treatments:

1hr full body lomi lomi back massage, deep flowing full body strokes from head to toe covering all areas and hitting all the right spots to leave you feeling reinvigorated and alive! Not to be missed.

1hr full body lomi lomi front massage, a more gentle and nurturing massage experience to leave you feeling a sense of peace with deep connection and love of self. For those needing to feel there worth.

Sherrie Scott- Biomagnetic Therapy

Sherrie Scott Biomagnetic Therapist

When you feel out of sorts, unmotivated, exhausted or anxious, your energy
field which supports and protects you is out of balance.
A Biomagnetic treatment assists the body to come back to alignment again by
placing positive and negative magnets on specific points on the body. In this
hour-long session where you lie on a plinth table covered in warm blankets
with relaxing music in the background, you can unwind.
Afterwards, your Biomagnetic field is balanced and clear and your body
continues to feel relaxed and restored.

Some clients come for help with a specific problem or a chronic illness, whilst
others come to improve their overall wellbeing
