So delighted to share that I have officially received my Practitioner Certificate for The HEARTS Process! 💚
​I am particularly excited about this qualification because it fills a really important gap in care. Often, when someone is going through cancer treatments or receiving palliative care, even standard or adapted complementary therapies (like gentle massage) can simply be too much for their body to handle.
​That is where HEARTS is different. It is an incredibly gentle, feather-light touch treatment. It requires absolutely no pressure and can be done fully clothed, making it the perfect choice for individuals who are very frail, weak, or simply too exhausted for traditional therapies.
​It is completely non-invasive and focuses purely on comfort, easing anxiety, and bringing deep relaxation when the body is at its most vulnerable. It works through a beautiful blend of:
​👐 Hands-on work (feather-light, comforting holds)
💛 Empathy (a peaceful, supportive space)
🌿 Aromas (safe, gentle essential oils)
😌 Relaxation techniques
🪶 Textures (soft, comforting blankets)
🎶 Sound (soothing audio)
​As both a nurse and a therapist, being able to offer something so profoundly relaxing to those who are too frail for standard treatments is incredibly close to my heart.
​I am looking forward to bringing this specialized care to my clinic in Newtownards and to my community sessions in Belfast.
​If you have a loved one navigating a difficult health journey who could use some gentle comfort, please feel free to reach out. I would be privileged to help bring some peace to their day. ✨
