Her deep knowledge of Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine, combined with her intuitive, compassionate approach, makes every session incredibly healing and personalised. From the very first visit, I felt seen and supported, whether I have come in with physical pain, stress or just in need of balance, Mairead has always created a space that feels safe, nurturing and deeply restorative. She has a remarkable ability to tune into what the body and mind need, and I leave every session feeling grounded, clear and genuinely cared for. Over the years her treatments have become an essential part of my well being. I'm so grateful I found her and can't recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking holistic, effective and truly transformative care.” - Rachel

Testimonials
“From the moment you walk into Prana House, there's an immediate sense of calm - and Katie takes that soothing energy to the next level. Her remedial massage is not only deeply therapeutic, but also incredibly intuitive. She has a rare ability to find exactly where your body is holding tension and gently work through it with care and precision.
Her reflexology sessions are equally powerful -grounding, restorative, and surprisingly energizing. You leave feeling balanced in both body and mind. Combined with the infrared sauna, the whole experience feels like a reset for your entire system.
Katie creates a truly nurturing space where you feel safe, supported, and completely at ease. Her work is a gift - I couldn’t recommend her more highly.” - Lyssa
I have had the best experiences receiving massages from Katie. Not only have I had the pleasure of receiving a relaxation massage but also a remedial massage and reflexology done too. You can tell she takes pride in her work from the moment I met her for a consultation to the end of the treatment. I found the atmosphere incredibly easy to relax in and put my trust in her hands. The pressure and techniques she uses are beautiful and I can’t fault anything from my treatment. I couldn’t recommend Katie more, especially as she has experience in various different types of massages - you can’t go wrong when you book with her! - Kassandra
I have been a patient of Katie’s for the past 12 months. Each session she has taken a good amount of time to drop in and understand what tasks my body has endured since our last visit. Katie always sets intentions at the start of the treatment and uses purification oils. I have noticed this helps me connect to myself and my own well being. In a short period of time during May to July 2024, I partook in an Ultra Marathon and Marathon. I excelled at both and I believe it always said that wouldn’t have been possible without Katie’s intentful care and healing touch. After each session I leave with a deeper connection to my body and ready to tackle any tasks the day has to offer. 10/10 recommended. - Domenico
