Testimonials
-
My daughter appeared to be suffering from acute anxiety, wasn't sleeping and also
suffered from a severe tic (head spasm). We had been discharged from hospital after
being told there was no treatment and we would have to live with it. After our first
visit to Kate the improvement was dramatic. Within two days there was a huge improvement
and she started sleeping well. After three treatments and one with me she is back to normal.
She loved her visits to Kate and we both looked forward to it. I would highly recommend Kate
to anybody, child or adult.
Anita Twohig, Mother, Cork City. - I went to visit Kate because I felt anxious and overwhelmed with trying to run a business
and my conflicing desire to be a full-time mum, I am expecting my third baby. Kate was so helpful
in putting me in touch with myself again, which helped me to feel stronger in myself and to be able
to make strong life decisions.
Kate was highly practical and from my initial meeting with her she came to facilitate a management meeting at work. This resulted in clear direction for the business with everyone knowing their role. I can't speak highly enough of Kate and her skills. I have since been to her three times and will not hesitate to return to her for help with any challenges I may need help with in the future. I am also planning to bring my 3 year old daughter to her.
Richael Mulvihill, Joop Cafe Douglas, Cork. - I found Kate very intuitive about what's happening emotionally and physically.
She is able to read the body and gain access to the subconscious mind very clearly and calmly.
I gained a huge release of emotional stress, peace of mind, a sense of relief.
I was unblocked emotionally and physically.
Alex Kingston Secondary Teacher and Counsellor Deerpark School,Cork. - Our teenage son suffered from anxiety and panic attacks. Kate created a safe environment
for him to deal with his condition, his concerns about his studies and some personal problems he was
having. The muscle testing she used to gather information about what was causing his anxiety suited
him because he didn't like to talk much.
Kate gave him the confidence to believe he was capable of succeeding. She also addressed his diet and nutritional needs to help with mental resilience. Tom (not his real name) was able to manage his anxiety and he ended up getting much better results in his exams than was anticipated. We were all delighted with the outcome.
Name withheld for privacy. - I have known Kate professionally for the past five years, and
have referred numerous clients to Kate's clinic to complete their healing
at the physical level of the body, as an adjunct to counselling therapy.
All of my clients reported back positive experiences in working with Kate,
and also shared how her unique techniques and interventions not only affected
them in a deeply positive manner, but also seemed to speed up their rates of recovery.
I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Kate as a therapeutic professional.
Michael O'Brien, Clinical Manager, Pieta House, Waterford. - I had vertigo and didn't know what was causing it, even after conventional medical
tests. Through Kate's Kinesiology I found out that the causes were complex, both mental and
physical. I found out there were also aspects of my lifestyle which were causing the condition. Unlike
conventional medicine where I would have tests and be given a pill to treat the symptoms, instead I
learnt techniques for physical, mental and emotional self-care. I no longer suffer from vertigo and
I'm feeling much better generally. I have much more vitality and my mind is much clearer as well.
Becky Landry, Customer service representative, Cork. - Kate's whole approach was brilliant - straightforward, no rubbish, not airy-fairy.
She got straight down to what was going on for me and I left knowing what I needed to do.
