Our next folk night is this Wednesday. See ye there. Hup!
I'm loving discovering the lyrics of each song, especially the slang that's not really used anymore. You think you know the meaning of a song until you actually have to type out the lyrics! Thankfully I live for deep dives and can use my hyperfocus tendencies for good!!
Dicey Reilly is the story of a lady who holds an appreciation for a tipple or two, you might say! There are quite a few versions but I like this one as it seems to be the only one that hasn't made her into a s*x worker and literally uses the "W" word. Oh Ireland đ€Šââïž
Here's two new phrases I learned;
"It's off each morning to the pop" - the pop is a pawn shop.
"The heart of the rowl" - this means the end bits of rolling to***co, the juiciest bits, the best bits. This line describes Dicey as the best, a legend, a sound aul shkin!

Singing in a group is such good therapy and there's no pressure to perform as all our voices become one.
Seriously I cannot frickin wait!! Will make this a regular thing so please let me know if you're interested đ See ye there

I've had so many gentle, and not so gentle, reminders to heed my intuition, gut feelings, soul callings etc.... so here's yours!
Iâm walking 80K in February to raise much needed funds for Womenâs Aid.

Hi, Iâm Laoise and this is how I became a Bioenergy Therapist.
Iâve been working in wellness since 2005, primarily as a Massage Therapist. I love the holistic approach to health and the power of healing touch, so my journey began with courses in Massage Therapy and Reflexology. Iâve always had a hunger to learn more and more, so I have accumulated many massage qualifications including Touch Therapy Cancer Care Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Pink Himalayan Salt Stone Massage and Lava Shell Massage to name but a few! To deepen my knowledge of the body, illnesses, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation I earned a Degree in Physical Therapy and Applied Science. I felt this fantastic qualification would arm me with the knowledge I needed to really help people and I worked at this part-time for many years. I eventually realised that the physical approach can only bring healing and recovery so far.
A few years of self-discovery ensued, filled with hours and hours of meditation, devouring Dr. Joe Dispenzaâs books, discovering the beauty of Qigong, researching every alternative therapy known to man and long, silent, pensive walks in the wild. The most powerful of these was a solo hike along the Camino di Francesco in Italy where I took the beautiful photo above, on top of a mountain with the sun poking its nose through the clouds. It was a journey filled with spiritual awakenings and I came home fully aware of my purpose - put simply, to make people better through Energy Healing.
I turned my attention to Energy Healing which Iâve been interested in since my earliest memories. It has always been calling to me and my experiences gave me the courage and self-belief to explore it, and nothing has ever felt so right. Again, I educated myself with books on the subject but decided the best way forward was to learn from the best. This led me to a Plexus Bioenergy Therapist course ran by Michael Oâ Doherty in Ennis. It was a life changing experience and I finally feel equipped to be the kind of therapist Iâve always known I should be.
Bioenergy balances the energy system of the body, allowing the body to heal itself. It can be used complementary to all other therapies and I have found it to be powerfully beneficial to myself, my family and my clients. A Bioenergy treatment includes energising, clearing and balancing the energy system, breath work, visualisation, emotional transformation techniques, nutrition, lifestyle and mindset coaching. Iâve also studied Plant-Based Nutrition and Motivational Interviewing which I feel allows me to educate my clients even further about their health.
Iâm so excited to be taking this new step in my career and as Iâve said, nothing has ever felt so right.
