A BIT ABOUT ME

I’m delighted to welcome you to my website which is dedicated to various aspects of holistic healing.

I am a therapist, herbalist, teacher and healer with my own practice in Tullow, County Carlow in Ireland. I am best known for my use of crystals and their energies and the author of two books on crystal healing. Details of my one-to-one therapy work and group workshops are listed on their own pages.

Before moving to Ireland, I had a busy practice in Ladbroke Grove, West London. I graduated from the University of Exeter in English and Fine Art then worked publishing illustrated books for many years before moving into therapy work. I trained at The College of Healing, Runnings Park, West Malvern, where emphasis was placed on the holistic philosophy of health through balance. I completed the three year College of Healing qualification, Counselling Skills for Healers and the ITEC certificate in Anatomy, Physiology and Massage. I studied Shiatsu at the East West Centre in London and Transpersonal Psychology with Ian Gordon Brown and Barbara Somers at the Centre for Transpersonal Psychology. I have been a healer in the White Eagle Lodge for many years. Stephanie Harrison, former Principal of The International College of Crystal Healing, inspired and taught me about the unique healing properties of crystals.

I received my Licentiate in Herbal Medicine in the summer of 2009 after four years study at the The Irish School of Herbal Medicine in Portlaoise, Co Laois, founded by the renowned herbalist and teacher Helen Begadon. I am honoured to continue learning herb lore, healing  and crafting with Gina McGarry, Wise Woman extraordinaire and Director of Brighid’s Academy of Healing Arts, where plant wisdom is grounded in a passionate love of the Earth, humanity, mythology, magic and healing. Oh how I love this work.

Herbie hard at work on his next book

I’m fortunate to be married to the utterly lovely Herbie Brennan, author of over a hundred magical books for children and adults. We share our home with a motley crew of cats including The Diddler, Cutipus Rex, Banana, Mouse, Broccoli Cat One, The Wobbler and Pixel.
