Somatic Movement Classes
I find Emer to be a great teacher. I have attended many of Emer’s Mindful movement classes and found her to be a great instructor with a great variety of different warm-ups and a good balance between helpful streches, strong postures and then followed by a meditation and deep body relaxation. She explains things very clearly. Her work was well paced and varied. I found her work to be a great balance to the intensive training and work I do throughout the year and a great support in consistently going further in my training’.

I very much appreciated Emer’s Shiatsu therapy sessions which were extremely calming and relaxing. I have a tendancy to be very anxious and these treatments were really beneficial to me. Emer’s approach is compassionate and nurturing which is so helpful and puts you at ease. She showed me helpful somatic physical exercises and mindfulness tools that wer totally adapted to my specific needs that I now can incorporate into my daily routine which is wonderful and has really transformed so much for me. I thank Emer very much for her time and expertise and would recommend her highly”
