You can talk it through. Understand it. Make sense of it. And still feel it in your body.
We don't always have the capacity to process stressful moments as they happen. So we suppress them and carry on. They don't disappear, they get held in the body - showing up as tiredness rest doesn't fix. Tension you can't explain. A shorter fuse than you'd like.
That's what we work with.
This might sound familiar...
-
Your sleep is broken, or you wake up already tired
-
Your shoulders, jaw or stomach hold something you can't shift
-
You snap at people you love and feel awful about it afterwards
-
You feel numb more often than you feel anything
-
You've done the therapy, you understand it, and nothing has changed in your body
-
You're not sure you'd recognise calm if you felt it
There's nothing wrong with you. Your body learned to brace for a reason, and it hasn't been told it can stop yet.
Where people usually start
SOMATIC ALIGNMENT
Slow, hands-on work where your nervous system sets the pace. Instead of thinking your way through it, we work with what's present in your body as a result of past experiences. In that space, your body gets the chance to reconnect, to feel what it's holding, and to finish the cycles it never got to complete. Most people describe the first session as the quietest they've felt in a long time.
CONSCIOUS CONNECTED BREATHWORK
A powerful, active practice using your breath to work with what you're holding. For a lot of people, emotion surfaces and starts to move - that can look like tears, laughter, shaking, or simply going quiet. However it shows up for you is welcome. Most people leave feeling lighter in themselves - like something has shifted.
REFLEXOLOGY & ENERGY HEALING
The softest, most restful thing we offer. Working through reflex points in the feet, hands, face and head, this is a chance to hand yourself over and let go. Nothing is expected of you - you can talk if you want to, or simply lie back and rest.
We also run Men's Breathwork evenings with Simon, monthly circles with Gráinne, and workshops through the year.

"If you're a man who finds it hard to slow down, switch off or deal with what's sitting under the surface, I'd genuinely recommend working with Simon."
"I wasn’t sure what to expect going into Somatic Alignment with Simon, but it ended up being exactly what I needed. I’ve carried stress in my body for years, and talking about it never really changed anything. In the session, Simon helped me notice what was actually happening in my body in a way that made sense and didn’t feel overwhelming.
His approach is calm, clear, and very down to earth. There was no pressure to open up more than I wanted to. Still, I walked out feeling lighter and more settled than I have in a long time. The session was practical, grounding, and it's great to find something that actually works for me."

HI THERE!
A little about us...
We're Gráinne and Simon. We came to this work the same way many of the people we now support did - carrying stress, anxiety, tension and exhaustion that we couldn't think our way out of, and looking for something that actually helped.
Breathwork, somatic work and understanding how the body holds experience changed that for us. Not overnight, and not by just talking about it, but by giving the body a way to let go of what it had been holding.
That's why we do this work. Not from theory alone, but because we've lived it - and we know what it's like to want to feel like yourself again.
You can talk about it for years, work it all out in your mind - but at some point, the body has to be the one to let go.
