I went to the "Mind and Body Works", in Donnybrook, for CBT sessions -parenting and relationship…read moresupport with my teenage son. Eva is a very superficial listener with poor understanding and communicating skills (due to the insufficient English language knowledge or lack of listening ability). I had to repeat the facts constantly (even dates and numbers, let alone feelings) and she would still repeat them incorrectly but kept taking notes during each sessions. Couple of times gave me assignments to write my thoughts and feelings which we never went over after I handed them to her ... This gave me impression of her not being interested in our work. During sessions, she was advising and giving suggestions instead of asking and guiding me to connect to my own feelings as therapist should do. Getting visibly displeased and impatient with my feelings and thoughts if they didn't align with what she had in her mind as correct?! Often triggered by my personal emotional experiences, getting even aggressive and interrupting, mentioning time multiple times during session... Poor ability to structure and lead session and guide client to their own conclusion. Poor knowledge of parenting and relationship issues. Constantly providing articles and suggestions related to age 8 - 12 where I needed support for 16 year old and getting very frustrated when they wouldn't work - as expected. Finally, I had to sign the contract that I need to announce 2 sessions in advance if I plan to stop therapy with her but cancelling our session without announcement via email. Very disappointed in service provided and how she could impact vulnerable clients negatively!

I recently found out about The Healing Room in Donabate. It's close to where I live, and I wanted…read moreto try a Reiki session here. I emailed the owner (Emily) and scheduled an appointment for a Friday morning. She has a Reiki studio here and one in town as well. So if you want to get a Reiki session at either one make sure to email or call ahead for an appointment. Anyway I'd done Reiki back home in Canada, but hadn't gone for Reiki since moving to Dublin over a year ago. The studio is a small one room cabin behind a house in Donabate. There isn't an address, but it's easy to find on Google Maps. There's a sign on the nearby house at the end of the road of Middlefield Lane. If you're coming from the Donabate train station it's a 5 minute drive (or 30 minute walk). There's a 33b bus stop on the R126 before Middlefield Lane. The 33b goes from Swords to Portrane via Donabate (and vice versa). The room itself was very cosy. There was some incense burning, but I didn't find it too overpowering. There's a bed that you lay on of the session. Before that I sat down at a table and chair and talked to Emma (the practitioner) about what I was looking for. I said I'd been feeling tired and drained, even with not a lot going on in my life, and wanted to work on that. She asked a few medical questions (about medication I was on, any health problems, etc). She was friendly and open and easy to talk to. I went on the bed (like a medical cot) and laid on my back. Emma put a blanket on me, for some reason people get cold during Reiki sessions (me included). Reiki is a touch therapy, although some Reiki practitioners won't lay their hands on you, but will kind of hover their hands above the area. Emma did touch, but it was gentle. Funny enough different parts of my body would start tingling before she did anything. Like before she went to work on my head my scalp started tingling. Reiki is noninvasive and you're completely clothed during a session (unlike say getting a massage), so it's great for pretty much anyone. It's considerd a complimentary healing modality (meaning still go to the doctor, but you can use reiki to help you out with what's going on in your life). I always feel really refreshed after a session. How one person feels during and after reiki is completely different and it varies from sessions to session. In some sessions I feel colours (which sounds very hippyish, but I'm not sure how else to describe it). Even if you don't feel or sense the same things I did it's still helpful. They say Reiki works whether you feel anything or not. Emma was very professional, and quite intuitive. I know she offers angel card readings and counselling that you can do in conjunction with the Reiki. After the session she pointed out some things that she wouldn't have been able to pick up from just looking at me, and nothing I'd mentioned before. Stuff about me personally, my family, and a health issue (nothing major) I'd suffered from a couple weeks back that I forget to mention at the start. I was quite impressed with this, and moreso impressed with the resources she gave me after the session. It cost €60 for a session, which I felt was a great price. I'll probably wait until after the new year for another session, but I definitely want to go back here again. Emma was great, and I'd highly recommend her if you're looking to try Reiki for yourself.
