Healing Hands™ is not just a clever brand name. Bernadette chose that name for her business because so many people tell her that her hands have healing qualities.

Bernadette has been putting those healing hands to good use for two decades, but she does not rely solely on her own innate instinct.
She has the perfect combination of experience, certified skills and that intangible quality that really makes a complementary therapy practitioner stand out from the average – she is one of the world’s carers.
Her clients will tell you that as soon as you place yourself in Bernadette’s hands you relax, instinctively knowing that you are doing yourself good, and that’s before she even lays a finger on you. She takes the time to listen – therapy in itself – before choosing the best treatment for you.

Bernadette is a member of the Irish Reflexologists’ Institute (MIRI) and a number of other professional associations including the IRISH MASSAGE THERAPISTS ASSOCIATION.
