“Before working with Deirdre I was dealing with pain in my body, stress, high blood pressure, unprocessed trauma, emotional exhaustion, and an unregulated nervous system. I felt overwhelmed and exhausted. Working with her was lovely, helpful, safe and efficient. One of the biggest breakthroughs for me was realizing how much anger I had stored in my jaw, and how many traumas were still in my body even though I didn’t consciously think of them as a problem.

I’ve now developed a new ability to pause and let my body process things instead of staying stuck in overwhelm. I feel calmer, happier, and have a higher tolerance with my kids. I’ve even tried new things at work and received a lot of positive feedback.

I’m very grateful, it has been incredibly helpful. I would 100% recommend working with Deirdre. It will change everything for the better.”

“Before working with Deirdre, my nervous system was extremely hyperactive after years of physical symptoms from tapering off a sleeping pill. Even after years of trying to heal, I felt like I was getting worse. I was frustrated, fearful, and honestly becoming hopeless about my chances of recovery.

Working with Deirdre gave me moments of calm that I hadn’t felt in a long time. Even if they were brief at first, they showed me my body was capable of feeling better. We always had moments of laughter together too, and that helped so much.

I loved my time working with Deirdre, it was always too short! I would absolutely say: DO IT!!! She will help you learn tools to make your life so much better.”

— Karole R.

“I originally came to Deirdre with muscle pain, and working with her gave me warmth, knowledge about the body, and a really good feeling overall.

I appreciated the guidance and expertise and found the whole experience very grounding and supportive. I would definitely recommend trying it and experiencing it for yourself.”

— Rafael W.

“Before working with Deirdre, I was living with a dysregulated nervous system and constant anxiety. I felt like I was always on the verge of an emotional breakdown, and my anxiety stopped me from enjoying life.

What stood out most was that there was no dramatic overnight fix, just a steady, comfortable road back toward myself. Since starting this work, I’m much calmer, my anxiety has reduced significantly, and I can handle situations that previously would have caused huge anxiety spikes.

Do it and don’t wait, there is a way forward.”

“After years of chronic illness, mold exposure, Lyme disease and trauma, my nervous system was constantly on high alert and unable to regulate. Even though I was highly functional, life was still a struggle.

Working with Deirdre felt very safe, and it was incredibly valuable to have someone to talk with about trauma while also working directly with nervous system regulation. One of the biggest surprises was that a blocked tear duct I’d had for years completely cleared. I’ve also noticed less skin sensitivity and feel more stable overall.

I truly think this is a very underrated area of healing, and you’ll be in very good hands.”

— Johnny L.

“Before working with Deirdre, I was dealing with chronic fatigue, pain, emotional overwhelm, chronic illness, difficult relationships, grief and the aftermath of a hard childhood. I felt like I had come a long way already, but I was still searching for the missing piece, almost like I needed a reset button for my nervous system and my life.

Working with Deirdre feels like coming home. It’s a warm place where I can fully be myself and feel truly seen. Every session feels like an adventure. One moment that stood out deeply was being guided to a place where my mind became completely silent for a brief moment, something I never thought possible. Another profound experience was processing grief around losing a close friend and finally feeling in my body that it was okay to move forward with life. Even through difficult life events and grief, I’ve still been able to enjoy life at the same time, which has made an enormous difference.

Deirdre works with the really deep stuff in a way I’ve never experienced before. Her expertise in nervous system healing is priceless.”

“Before working with Deirdre, I felt stuck in my past and was carrying the weight of a dysfunctional family. I lived somewhere between feeling terrible and just okay, with fear constantly holding me back.

From the first sessions, I felt hopeful. The fascia release work was something special, and even after only two sessions I started realising things about myself and feeling less stuck.

The most shocking shift was that my lower back pain (which had always been there) completely disappeared. It felt like someone just turned it off.

Open your mind and go for it.”

— S.D.

“Before working with Deirdre, I was struggling with anxiety, nervous system imbalance, depression, isolation and fear of interacting with people. Life felt very difficult to manage.

Working with her helped me feel supported and able to handle my problems in a much healthier way. I often felt like I was discovering new things about myself and learning how to accept them and move forward.

The sessions always leave me with a warm feeling, more energy, and a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me. They have genuinely been the best therapy for me and have helped me ease into daily life and my mental health in a much gentler way.

— S.L.

“Before working with Deirdre, I was dealing with pain in my hips, lower back and knees. I felt tired, hopeless, stiff and emotionally drained.

Working with her felt like a relief for both my body and my mind. One of the biggest surprises was seeing my back physically straighten during the process.

I now have days with almost no pain, which feels absolutely lovely, and overall I feel happier and lighter.

If you’re considering it, please do it. You will get relief and help not only with your pain, but with your thoughts too.”

— Anna S.

“I lived with pain behind my left shoulder blade for more than 25 years and had been told it was chronic inflammation. I had tried everything, acupuncture, cortisone shots, but nothing truly changed. I also struggled deeply with unresolved trauma and grief after losing my mother as a teenager.

Before working with Deirdre, I genuinely believed I would have to live with this pain, physically and emotionally, forever. Working with her has been such a warm and nurturing experience.

The pain behind my shoulder blade is now almost completely gone, something I never thought possible. I also experience grief differently now. I can process difficult emotions in a calmer, healthier way instead of feeling overwhelmed by them.

I am forever thankful I found her.”

— Sandra M.

“I came to this work already having done a lot of personal reflection around my upbringing, relationships, and divorce, but I still felt there were deeper layers to explore. At times I felt existentially tired and lost, and I knew somatic work could help.

Working with Deirdre felt easy, powerful and deeply trustworthy. Since working together, I’ve developed a much calmer approach to everyday life. Deirdre combines extensive knowledge with warmth, empathy and genuine commitment, creating a space where meaningful transformation feels possible.”

“Before working with Deirdre, I often felt frozen, dissociated and disconnected from both my emotions and the people around me. I had tried so many different practices and still felt hopeless about whether real change was possible.

Working with her felt safe, comforting and empowering all at once. I remember one session where I felt more grounded and present in my body than ever before, and it completely changed my understanding of what healing could feel like.

I also understand my nervous system with far more compassion now. Deirdre creates such a safe, regulated space without ever falling into toxic positivity. She’s incredibly intuitive, present and genuinely caring. I would recommend her 100%.”

— S.S

“Before working with Deirdre, I was living with a lot of shutdown emotions, overwhelm, exhaustion and a nervous system stuck in freeze and fawn responses. I struggled to identify and regulate my emotions and was constantly battling fears around failure, control and not being good enough.

Working with her was wonderful, compassionate, eye-opening, and accepting, while still gently challenging me in the right ways without ever feeling forceful.

Since starting this work, I feel less rigid, more emotionally relaxed, and much more patient and accepting toward myself. The walls and protective patterns have started to soften, and I finally feel like I can be more myself.

— Hanna

“Before working with Deirdre, I felt physically stiff, aching and exhausted, and mentally I felt like I had completely lost myself. My nervous system was stuck in patterns of anxiety and fear, and I found myself hiding from the world while constantly ruminating on past experiences.

I honestly thought I was coming for physical treatment alone, but this became one of the most eye-opening and healing experiences of my life. Deirdre creates such a safe and grounded environment, with no pressure and no forcing. She doesn’t ‘fix’ you, she teaches you how to reconnect with and heal yourself. I’ve learned how deeply connected the nervous system and fascia really are.

Don’t hesitate, just do it. Your nervous system and fascia are so important.”

— Jane W.

“I came to Deirdre with tension in my jaw and shoulders that I simply couldn’t release on my own, along with stress, worry and the challenges of navigating menopause.

Every session has been fantastic and honestly mind-blowing. Deirdre always seems to sense exactly where my nervous system is at and what I need in that moment. Her intuition, questions, and ability to shift things physically and emotionally are second to none.

I feel grateful, humbled, and incredibly helped every time I leave a session. Don’t hesitate, let Deirdre help you.”

— Cecilia W.

“As an MFR therapist, I already understood the value of listening to the body’s wisdom, and I initially became curious about Somatic Experiencing because I wanted to better support my own clients. But after my first session with Deirdre, I felt so calm that I decided to continue the work for myself.

Before working together, I had a reactive and shaky nervous system and felt frustrated because despite doing all ‘the right things,’ I still struggled to feel calm and steady. I often felt anxious, lacking confidence, and tired of the ongoing inner struggle.

Working with Deirdre has been such an interesting experience. Every session felt calm, safe, compassionate and helpful, and I always left feeling peaceful, capable and more connected to myself. I never felt judged and always felt comfortable being vulnerable.

One of the biggest shifts has been understanding my nervous system more deeply and learning how to support myself with greater compassion. I’ve noticed more physical softness, more kindness toward myself and others, and a much deeper sense of calm in my body.

This approach to healing feels gentle, respectful, compassionate, and effective. It really feels like an important piece of the puzzle. If you’re feeling curious, give it a try.”

“Before working with Deirdre, I was constantly on edge and living on high alert. Even the slightest outside noise would have me jumping out of my skin. I felt disconnected from my life, disconnected from my body, and honestly a bit checked out. Everything felt overwhelming.

Working with Deirdre created such a deep sense of safety and being held in a space where I could simply be me. One of the biggest surprises was how easily the walls came down, allowing deeper connection and deeper work to unfold.

I always felt safe, seen and held throughout the process. Since working together, I walk through life with greater awareness, presence, and connection to myself. I feel far less on edge and much more centered and grounded in my life.

Answer the call to work with Deirdre. She deeply cares about her clients, and the work she offers is truly invaluable. The progress you make with her will be well worth it and unlike anyone else you’ve worked with before.”
