Rose O’Connor

My name is Rose, and I am really looking forward to joining the team at River Holistic.

I graduated from Portobello Institute in 1999 in Reflexology, Swedish Massage and Beauty Therapy. I gained lots of experience over the years in holistic health, particularly whilst running my own Wellbeing and beauty clinic. I also worked with the South Eastern Cancer Foundation, which was both rewarding and humbling. The external stressors of life and material things become unimportant when a person receives a cancer diagnosis. It was an honour and a privilege to meet so many wonderful people and to connect with the core of each person, a special environment within which to work.

I completed a course on Reflexology & Mental Health. I would love parents to be aware of the benefits of reflexology for their children from a young age, particularly from a mental health point of view, as in my experience Reflexology can help to bring clarity to a confused and cluttered mind.

I am passionate about Reflexology, and it is a joy to see the positive affects even one treatment can have. To see a client come through the door tired/stressed or just not feeling themselves, and then an hour later to see them leave feeling calm and relaxed with a spring in their step – to me this is what it is all about.

Something I feel we have all learned through Covid and lockdowns is the importance of slowing down, listening to our body and taking the time to look after ourselves.

Private health insurance holders may be eligible for a refund of up to 50%, and in some cases even more, of the cost of the treatment.

I am looking forward to offering my services and assisting you on your wellness journey.
