Hi my name is Patricia also known as Pat.

I am a registered Nurse/Midwife with NMBI and have spent a number of years specialising in Midwifery in Ireland, the UK and Middle East.

After returning home, I worked in the NMH (National Maternity Hospital) in Holle's St. in Ante-post Natal and Gynae departments. I then took a career break and became a stay-at-home Mother to our four children.

It was during this time that I discovered Holistic Medicine following numerous visits to our family GP over the years. Antibiotics were regularly prescribed and surgery seemed to be the only option for the many ear, nose and throat infections our children encountered. I decided it was time to search for an Alternitive treatment and discovered Homoeopathy.

After seeing the amazing results of this therapy I began my Homoeopathic studies at the ISH (Irish School of Homoeopathy) began my Practise as a Licenced Homoeopath in 2008.

My interest and curiosity in Complimentary Therapies grew and I studied Reiki and eventually Craniosacral Therapy with the Upledger International Institute Ireland UIII. I received excellent training from various Tutors from the UK, Netherlands USA and Ireland.

After becoming a CST/SER Therapist, I undertook further training in Paediatrics, Preconception & Birth and have studied to Advanced 2 Level. I have experience as a Teaching Assistant at all levels and am currently studying to teach CST.

Dr John Upledger, founder of the Upledger school was quoted as saying "We hold our issues in our tissues" See Home page and History of CST on the IACST website for further explanation of the work.

The body is a self-regulating, self-healing mechanism which is recognised by the Conventional Medical Community. There are times when the body can need assistance in order to "right itself". Craniosacrsl Therapy is a gentle light-touch body Therapy that allows the body's self-healing to take place. As a CST/SER Therapist, I have been trained to use very gentle skills of perception that allows me to work with the Client's "Inner Wisdom" as their body learns to relax, release and "let go" of the many restrictions and tensions that may have been held over time, perhaps years?

Throughout our lives as we navigate the world we live in, we can develop these tissue restrictions in our Fascial and Cranio Sacral Systems from traumas relating to the various Mental, Emotional or Physical issues encountered throughout our lives.

These restrictions can have an impact on our Central and Autonomic Nervous Systems which in turn can lead to problems such as chronic pain, neuralgia from trapped nerves, causing numbness, tingling etc.. Dental work can cause later problems such as TMJ and other issues which CST "mouthwork" can help. Birth traumas and instrumental deliveries can result in problems such as developmental delays as the integration of the bodies primary, primitive reflexes are retained by the body.These retained reflexes can result in motor and sensory problems which are becoming increasingly evident in more recent years.

Conditions such as ADD, ADDH, ASD,SID, Ausbergers in children and adult conditions such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS, ME, Myofascial problems are also becoming more common.

Having trained in the Conventional medical tradition together with my additional training in the Complimentary Holistic field; I feel equipped to work with Clients alongside their medical practitioners and my hope would be to help bring these two disciplines together. Conventional medicine will always have a Primary place in health care, but I feel that Holistic Therapies also have a place in health care into the future.

I work with a number of Holistic Practitioners of varying diciplines in an Ante/Post Natal Clinic called (Acudub) and treat women prior to and following birth with follow ups to support their babies through their vaccination programmes. I also work with couples who have infertility issues.

I often use a combination of Homoeopathic remedies with CST to help balance the body as it undertakes it's Healing Journey. I also work with people who are receiving chemotherapy and find that CST is a wonderful support for my clients while they navigate their various treatments. CST can also be used for care of the elderly and end of life as a gentle support for Clients and their families.

If you are interested in having Craniosacral Therapy and would like to make an Appointment you can contact me by What's app, text or email.

I work from the locations listed above and would love to hear from you and work with you and your family.

Kind regards.

Patricia

My work allows me to practise Craniosacral with a wide variety of Clients of all age groups. Please contact me on What's App, by Messenger or Text.

Working at the Acudub Holistic Pre/Post Natal Clinic along-side like minded Therapists of various disciplines is very rewarding. The aim of the Clinic is to help prepare and support Mothers and their babies in their pregnancy and delivery process. Partners are also welcome to have treatments. The Clinic offers treatments for other ailments also but the main focus is on pre & post Partum as there is no other Holistic Clinic that offers this service in Dublin or perhaps in Ireland.

Many couples encounter infertility issues today and Craniosacral Therapy can help support them as they navigate their difficult journey. Sometimes the body can hold onto "issues" Mental, Emotional and or Physical that may be preventing them from conceiving. Craniosacral Therapy includes a process known as SER (Somato Emotional Release) which can occur during treatment and can help the body to regain its equilibrium and balance.

Nass Holistic is also a multidiciplinary Clinic with an excellent Team of Therapists.

Although my focus more recently has been on Craniosacral work, I still use Homoeopathic Remedies to help my Clients with their symptoms when needed.

Craniosacral Therapy is a very gentle non-invasive hands on body Therapy on a fully clothed body.
The type of CST I practise, was devised by Osteopathic Doctor John Upledger of Upledger International USA. Dr Upledger was also an avid Researcher and had a curiosity about all aspects of the body.

Discovery of the Craniosacral System & Craniosacral Therapy:-

Dr John Upledger first discovered the CSS (Cranio Sacral System) in the 1980s as he was assisting a Neurosurgical Colleague perform a neck surgery. He discovered movement in the Dural Tube ( Spinal cord protective tube) and had already learned about the very subtle movements of the Cranial bones during his Medical training from a lecture by Dr W. G Sutherland Osteopathic Doctor also known as the "Father of Osteopathy". Dr Upledger could feel the Cranial bone movements also but was curious to learn why the bones moved? Where Dr. Sutherland was happy to just know that the movement occurred but was less curious about why the movements happened?

After his discovery of the Dural Tube movements, Dr Upledger went on to conduct Research at the Mitchigan State University where he was a Medical Student. He gathered 21 Scientific Researchers to help in a research project he had been employed by the US Airforce to undertake. The study involved research on the brains of Fighter Pilots and Baboons who had been killed during flight parachute ejection practise. This was back in the 1950-60s when practises like these were the norm.

While conducting this Research, Dr John was searching for answers to the source of the Rhythmic movement he had witnessed in the OR years before. He and his Colleague Dr Reitzcliffe discovered that the tissues surrounding and enveloping the Brain had a specific shape and purpose. This continuous durable tissue is known as the Vertical & Horizontal Membrane System. It divides and protects the compartments of the Brain and is continuous with the Spinal Dura mater or covering which runs down through the Vertribal column and envelops and protects the Spinal Cord.This durable (Dural) tissue attaches to the Sacrum in the Pelvic or middle section of the posterior Hip area. He & his Colleague further discovered that the movements of the Cranial bones Co-related with those of the Sacrum.

CSF (Cerebro Spinal Fluid) is formed, circulated and excreted continuously in special chambers deep in the brain called the Ventricles. The CSF is needed to protect and nourish the brain and bring toxins out via the bloodstream for excretion. The movement of CSF (Cerebro Spinal Fluid), within the Ventricles and Spinal Column, together with the subtle movements of the Cranium ( head) and Sacrum (tail) is what Dr. John referred to as the Craniosacral Rhythm. (CSR). He called this System, the Cranio Sacral System and the work of balancing this system he called Craniosacral Therapy CST.

it is this subtle Rhythm which we Therapists palpate during CST work. You can learn more about CST and how it works if you follow the home and history links.

My working hours are fairly flexible to help accommodate parents with babies and young children and also those with ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder). I know they can need some extra time to prepare for their sessions etc.. I work some Saturdays if needed to allow for these children's schedules.

See a list of the Clinics where I work to help you decide if there's one that might suit you?
