Reiki, Reflexology & Massage Therapist
Trish Darcy in her Own Words

I am passionate about Holistic Therapies and the many benefits they bring to each individual client. For me, holistic therapies are a gentle, non-invasive approach to working therapeutically with each individual while also being complementary to conventional medicine.

Holistic therapies treat the whole person - whole body, mind and spirit. All aspects of each individual are considered and encouraged. The client remains central to their own healing process and the focus is on promoting individual self-empowerment throughout that process.

Having worked in service provision for adults with disabilities and experienced the immense pressure on resources for both client and carer in high level care, I am inspired by a model of health care that is holistic and person centred, promoting and supporting the physical, psycho-emotional and spiritual well being of each individual.

I originally trained in Psychology and I integrate this into my work to facilitate a return to that place of "wholeness" for each individual. I work intuitively and my treatments are delivered by what I feel working on the body or at the feet. I also combine other therapies into my treatments where applicable.

I trained in Reiki in 2001 and qualified from Walmer college, Raheny in 2002 with ITEC diplomas in Anatomy, Physiology and Massage, Aromatherapy, Reflexology, and Diet and Nutrition. I have also trained in Reflexology in Pregnancy and Childbirth with Mauricio Kruchik (MRTP I). I am currently studying Craniosacral therapy and to date have completed CST 1 and CST 2 with the Upledger Institute.

I am accredited with the Association of Registered Complementary Health Therapists Ireland (ARCHTI). I am also a member of the Irish Reflexologists’ Institute Limited (IRIL), which entitles members of VHI, Hibernian Aviva and QUINN Healthcare a refund on their health insurance.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the hands and feet, which correspond to every part of the body. Finger and thumb pressure applied to these reflexes relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural functioning of the body. Reflexology is suitable for all ages and may bring relief from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.

Reflexology has been Shown to be Effective for the Following Conditions

Reflexology Treatment

A Reflexology treatment consists of a 60 minute treatment working the reflex points on the feet. An evaluation of your feet and a personal case history is taken at your initial treatment. A special reflexology blended wax is firstly massaged into the feet followed by treating the reflex points of both feet. Feedback and Home Care Advice specifically tailored to you is provided at the end each treatment. Discounts are available for those who need to book block treatments for their presenting condition. Members of VHI, Hibernian AVIVA and QUINN-Healthcare may be entitled to a refund on their insurance (policy dependent).

Reiki

Reiki is a hands on energy healing therapy. Reiki comes from two Japanese words, REI which means universal life energy, and KI which means a key or opening. The Reiki energy is channelled through the therapist's hands to the client where it activates the body's natural ability to heal itself. Reiki assists with healing imbalances and blocks at a mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual level.

The Benefits of Reiki Include

Reiki Treatment

A Reiki session consists of a 60 minute treatment. Clients remain fully clothed. During the treatment I will place my hands gently over specific points on the body. Certain sensations such as heat, tingling, coolness and/or a deep state of relaxation may be experienced as the Reiki energy is received. As each client and session is unique, I combine bio-energy, chakra, and deep tissue body work, to facilitate the process of healing and change for each individual client.

Ayurvedic Kansa Vatki Foot Massage™

The Kansa Vatki Foot Massage with marma therapy (Indian Acupressure) is a beautiful and relaxing health-care modality, which balances the body, mind and spirit. This unique treatment, steeped in centuries of ceremony, involves the use of a dosha oil which is massaged into the feet and legs. A 3-metal bowl consisting of copper, zinc and tin is used during the treatment to assist with detoxifying and balancing the body’s energies. The massage is deeply revitalising for tired feet and legs, and as the feet contain key energy and nerve endings relating to internal organs, this treatment balances the whole body.

What does the treatment consist of?

The treatment is one hour in duration and begins with a foot spa treatment to allow your feet soften and unwind. The treatment is then followed with some relaxing foot and leg massage performed while you are lying down. Slowly and methodically the toes, feet, ankles and calves are helped to relax. The treatment continues with special moves performed with the small 3-metal Kansa Vatki bowl and is finished with a re-balancing sequence of marma massage (Indian Acupressure).

What are the benefits of Kansa Vatki Foot Massage™?

The Kansa Vatki Foot Massage supports, nourishes and nurture. Physical Benefits include:

Mental Benefits of Kansa Vatki Foot Massage include:
