Hi,I'm Paula!I am from a beautiful little village called Doohoma in Northwest Mayo; overlooking Achill island.I am currently living and working in Dublin. I love being out in nature- walks/hikes, and I enjoy music and travelling. I also enjoy cooking/baking and doing arts/crafts.​I have 15 years experience working as a mental health nurse across a variety of different settings. During this time, I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in the Professional Management of Complex Behaviour. I provide teaching in this area and am very passionate about this work and the need to embrace a more trauma informed approach in healthcare.​One day during a particularly stressful period in life; I found myself booked into a Reiki session, having no clue at all about energy healing! I left that session and very soon after felt an intense internal pull towards needing to learn more about it while not really understanding why.I completed Reiki Master training and started engaging in some personal Shamanic healing therapies.I was so amazed by the potential for profound healing through energy work that I then continued on to do a 2-year Shamanic course with The Shamanic and Psychotherapeutic Academy. The first year working on self development and self healing and the second year being a practitioner training course and learning a number of Shamanic techniques to support others.During this time, I did some learning in Integrated Energy Therapy and I also completed an ITEC Diploma in Holistic Massage and training in Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage.My hope is to be able to support people on their healing journeys in a more holistic way. Taking the knowledge I have gained from my years of clinical experience, and incorporating energy work and bodywork to improve health and maintain wellness. ​I offer Reiki, Shamanic Reiki, Shamanic Illumination, Shamanic Ego Wound Release technique, Basic Integrated Energy Therapy and Holistic Massage.I currently practice in The Dublin Wellbeing Centre, Dublin 2 and I offer sessions on intermittent weekends in Spa Elysium in The Broadhaven Bay Hotel, Belmullet, Co. Mayo.
