Holistic Yoga, Breathwork & Reflexology
"When you own your breath nobody can steal your peace" - Anon
Hello and welcome to My Practice. I'm Lisa Mulcahy and thank you for looking at my website. I hope I can help you. But first a little bit about my background.
My Journey to Holistic Health
I first came to yoga some 27 years ago when I was feeling a little stressed and wanted something 'different' to the gym culture. Little did I know that yoga was going to be a constant in my life. It has seen me through challenges, the joys, the sorrows - you name it. I love the way it makes me feel.
Some 20 years ago I also discovered reflexology and studied under Sue Evans at Inspira. Having had a background in business this was quite a detour but so looked forward to each tutorial weekend. This started my journey with complementary therapies and I was determined to use my knowledge to help others.
Some 12 years ago I completed a 200 hours Yoga Alliance Professional qualification and a further 270 hours Yoga Therapy. I am currently training in Classical Pranayama (breathwork) with Sara Francia London.
I have worked with the Alzheimer's Society providing reflexology to carer's, spent a number of years working in a local Natural health Clinic and currently attend a residential home providing therapies for residents.
All therapies will be tailored to the individual. If have questions about therapies or Yoga classes please feel free to pick up the phone.

Foot & Hand Reflexology
Reflexology has been around for thousands of years and has its roots in Egypt, India and China.
What is it? Primarily practised on the feet, it is believed that the feet and hands are a microcosm of the body. All organs, glands and systems have a corresponding are on the feet which, when worked with specific massage techniques, help bring the system back into balance, boost immunity, encourage homeostasis and instil a deep sense of relaxation.
Don’t like feet? No problem…. the same principle applies to the hands and the client will receive the same benefits.
Pricing:
30 mins — £25
60 mins — £40
Course of 4 (paid in advance) — £145
Facial Therapies
Advanced Facial Therapies
This is a deep and profound treatment that must be experienced to be appreciated. This particular treatment is unlike, and far superior (in my opinion) to other facial reflexology treatments available today.

Pioneered by Lone Sorensen she draws on ancient influences from around the world.
Areas on the face map areas of the body as well as acupressure points. Carefully devised sequences (specific to each client) stimulate facial tissue and reflex points on the face and scalp. Aided by the close proximity to the brain it helps calm the nervous system and balance body chemistry.

Reiki
Reiki Energy Healing
Everyone can benefit from Reiki as it works with energy. Its gentle and non-invasive. The client remains clothed throughout.
This is Japanese form of energy healing which involves the therapist acting as a conduit of ‘Ki’ or energy. Hands are placed on or just above the client’s body. Movement of energy, sensations, heat, cold, tingling etc may be experienced by the therapist and the client. This treatment helps to re-balance the flow of energy.

Yoga Classes
"Yoga is an effortless dance with breath and gravity" — Vanda Scaravelli.
Do you want to have a feeling of a freedom in your body, and a mind that’s soothed and calm? Yoga is so much more than making shapes. It brings a deeper connection with ourselves, our breath our mind and soul.

I believe yoga should be felt and we should greet ourselves, and our bodies, with kindness when we arrive on our mat. Yoga isn’t competitive. The less we force and compete in yoga the more we get back.
I make my classes accessible to various ages and abilities. Most injuries and limitations can be accommodated with appropriate guidance from me and a patient and willing student. More advanced options of postures can be given for those who wish to advance.
Classes often follow a theme, and will sometimes include meditation, pranayama (breathwork) or Philosophy.
