I was doing a bit of reflecting while walking around the beautiful Naas lakes this afternoon.

I always say that my mantra is that I'm a "lover of living". I used to think this meant kicking the arse out of everything. I come from an extreme professional and personal background, that saw me engaging with danger and adventure all over the globe. I thought that living properly was about racking up as many huge experiences as possible - whether thats in the arctic or jungles or deserts or pushing my body and mind to its very limits.

But I got it wrong. Thats not loving living. Yes, it was bloody good fun (some of the time), but that lifestyle or intention isn't what truly living is about.

I stood there this afternoon, and appreciated that moment. I felt my breath and the cold air against my skin. I appreciated the light, the sounds, the sensations. I watched the birds, the dogs, and the people. I stood there, and in that moment, I felt myself living in this world around me. I was alive in this living world.

For me now, this is what being a lover of living is. I have an awareness of who and what I am as this human animal, as I traverse through this world, interacting with it. I am a lover of this lived experience.

Being able to really embody the lived experience in as optimal a way as possible isn't about pushing yourself to extremes or jumping from one health and lifestyle fad to another. Its about first understanding who and what you are, and understanding the patterns for how we operate, and then living as true to our gentle nature, within this interactive and dynamic world, as we can.

I'll be back open from Tuesday 6th January, sharing my love and passion for helping people find their way back to living in as natural state as their body and mind allows.

From February 2026, I’ll be updating the clinic opening days and times in Naas.

With a house move out of the County happening in January, I’m reshaping my working week, so as to keep the Clinic running as effectively and beneficialy as possible for clients.

The clinic will run Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, with new opening hours.

I’ll share the full details early in January, and I’ll make sure regular clients are supported with this change.

If you’re planning your year ahead and have any questions, feel free to message me directly.

I've had this conversation twice today, with 2 clients both starting their 4-session healing journey - one with chronic pain and one with the symptoms of chronic trauma.

Just because you've lived with pain or suffering for so long doesn't mean that this has to be your normal for the rest of your life.

If you join me in commiting to your healing journey, we will walk it together and bring you change.

But, I need you to join me.

There is no change without change 🙌

I found this today on my travels around Dublin. Its such a beautiful word with a deep meaning that transcends our modern concept of 'eternity', as a linear path of time.

The roots of the word 'síoraí' can be traced back to pre-Christian medieval Ireland. It was Manchan Magan who first helped me understand that Irish ancestors and their language are woven into the land, the environment, life, and living, and this is something we'd do well to remember in this modern world of ours.

We often think of ourselves and our lives as detached and temporary, when in fact we are a manifested part of the eternal system and process of this world. We come from the our environment and we return to our environment. Everything we are now is because of what came before us, and everything that will be is because of what we are now.

Through 'síoraí' we can see ourselves, right now, as being the living part of our lineage past and future. Our land, our environment, our community - it transcends us and lives through us. It is our responsibility to be the ancestors that the future deserves.

We are the continuum. Be the good you want to see in the world.

People often ask how I got into the line of work of therapy? 🤔

Simple. The Circus Performer career never took off! 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

It was an absolute pleasure to finally meet author and researcher, Lynn McTaggart, at her Dublin event today.

Although today's event was about the practice and evidence for the power of Intention, it was Lynn's first book, 'The Field', that put my own work on a pivotal change of direction, and sent my scientific research and interests down a rabbit hole that I still haven't returned from all these years later 🙌

I don't want anyone to panic when they see the new baby-faced therapist in the Clinic on Monday...he is actually old enough to do the job 👶

Every day is a school day 🤓

Sat in the corridors of Dublin City University waiting for my son in CTYI, and I'll make the most of it by reading the latest scientific research into how the light-touch neuromuscular therapy of Dún Danu Amatsu Clinic improves mental health outcomes from stress, anxiety, and trauma 🙌

You don't have to only be suffering from physical dysfunction to attend sessions at the Clinic. The work I do is incredibly effective at alleviating the suffering of mental and emotional dysfunction, too 💚

Drop me a message directly here, text/WhatsApp 0877608901, or email info@dundanuamatsu.com to find out more about how I can help you, or someone you know, with improved mental and emotional comfort 🙏

I'm very deeply saddened to hear of the loss of broadcaster, writer, and cultural icon Manchán Magan.

I was first introduced to Manchán when I moved to Ireland, when my wife made me watch his series 'No Béarla', to help me understand the importance of the Irish language in this English-speaking country.

From there, I spent years reading his works and studying the subjects he spoke about.

Manchán not only influenced how I look at the deep history of Ireland and the Gaeilge language, but he influenced how I look at myself within my community within this land. This, in turn, influenced how I work with clients at Dun Danu Amatsu Clinic - understanding - and feeling - the connections of human nature. In fact, Manchán is a large part of the reason that I chose the name of Dún Danu for its significance and meaning!

I will forever be indebted to Manchán Magan and the work he has done in helping to pass down the rich heritage, culture, and mythological secrets that are held within the Gaeilge language.

Rest in peace, Manchán. You are now a part of the energy of this land you loved.

For anyone wanting to know more about his work, I would HIGHLY recommend the books 'Listen to the Land Speak' and 'Thirty Two Words for Field'.

It was great to attend the 'Neuroscience of Irish Trauma' lecture by Dr Michael Keane in Kilkenny last night.

Understanding the neuroscience of trauma, and especially the context of Irish culture and society, underpins the work that I do on helping to relieve the suffering of chronic mental and emotional health dysfunction. In speaking to Dr Keane, I was especially excited to hear how he, as a neuroscientist, places a priority on bodywork therapy to treat mental and emotional health issues, because of the mechanisms involved in downregulating trauma responses.

Helping people to recover from the suffering of chronic stress, anxiety, trauma, or grief is a hugely rewarding part of the work that we do here 💚

TRIGGER WARNING: Su***de and ideation

This is a longer video than normal, but I want to explain WHY people are advised to talk to others about their poor mental and emotional health problems.

You are part of a social species, and evolution has designed your brain and body to communicate with others for the betterment of ourselves and our social circles.

If you are suffering - TALK.

Dún Danu Amatsu Clinic - Naas, Co. Kildare

Amatsu therapy is a modern adaptation of a physical therapy that has been used for thousands of years in Japan. It is based on ancient principles of natural movement and can be used to help many musculoskeletal and lifestyle related conditions, as well as supporting the restoration of general health and well being.

For thousands of years, the Japanese Ninja (Shinobi) warriors practiced their martial art fighting skills alongside an ancient orthopaedic healing therapy called ‘HichibukuGoshin-jutsu Ryu’. Within this covert organisation, healing practice knowledge was passed down from Master to student through the secret “Amatsu Tatara” scrolls. The current holder of the scrolls is Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, receiving his Shinobi training from Tosh*tsugu Takamatsu (1889-1972), who is recognised as the last of the battle-tested Shinobi Masters.

Amatsu was made known to the outside world in the 1980’s, when Dr.Hatsumi made the decision to train three European martial arts practitioners. Between them, Dennis Bartram, William Doolan, and Chris Rowarth had backgrounds in osteopathy, chiropractic, psychotherapy, physiotherapy and natural medicine. Developing Dr.Hatsumi’s eastern healing art teachings into modern western medical frameworks, Amatsu training schools were later established in Ireland, the UK, and Europe.

As a unique therapy modality, Amatsu adopts a whole-body approach, identifying and treating the source of injury, illness, or ailment, and not just the symptoms.
