I have also trained in Reiki, becoming a Reiki Master in 2006. I am a Registered member of the CranioSacral Society I founded The Hayward Clinic in Co Cork in 2004 which became one of the busiest caniosacral clinics in Ireland. I ran my practice from there until returning to the UK for family reasons in March 2020, just before lockdown, and joined the Kyrle House Practice in August when lockdown was lifted. Most conditions I treat are pain related, but there many others, such as vertigo, IBS, fuzzy thinking, anxiety and stress, that present regularly. Mother and baby issues, before, during and after pregnancy form an increasing part of my work.
