I am originally from the ‘Beautiful Rainbow Nation’ - Southern Africa. I have lived in Ireland for over 30 years in a very special place of great beauty and more importantly the local people that have supported and inspired me through this wonderful holistic journey. This place I call home - Killeshandra, Co Cavan - a countryside village surrounded by beautiful lakes, famous for its friendly people, great fishing, the amazing Killykeen Forest Park and of course music. Since a very early age, I always had a unique interest in Complementary Medicine / Holistic Therapies. So I decided to follow my dream, as it is something I truly love & believe in. Nestled in the heart of Killeshandra, is my Holistic Studio based in the Focus Resource Centre. I pursued a career in Holistic Therapies, which cover an array of subjects from Holistic Massage, Holistic Facials, Indian Head Massage, Reflexology, Thai Chi Foot Massage, Crystal Healing & Reiki.

Passionate about supporting women's wellbeing, I specialise in teaching Tension, Stress, Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) and mindfulness yoga. I offer 1:1 sessions, workshops, courses and retreats. Both online and in Cornwall, Looe and the surrounding area. During my pregnancy, I remember waking up with such discomfort in my lower back, another sleepless night. Becoming a mother, a new mum, was tough. So many changes, all in one go. It brought about stress, anxiety, loneliness and a sense of unease. I was a new parent managing my own business, conflicted with economic concerns and self-doubt. In the midst of this rollercoaster, spontaneous body tremors (TRE) and yoga became my lifeline. These practices helped support my nervous system, I felt calm and centred. It made such a positive difference in how I felt emotionally, mentally, and physically. I soon realised that TRE and yoga could be valuable tools for others in similar circumstances. Now, I support women seeking greater resilience and resourcefulness in navigating life's challenges. My holistic approach aims to address both emotional and physical wellbeing. I assist women in taking care of a range of emotions, from low mood and mood swings to anxiety and stress. While also addressing physical discomforts such as upper and lower back pain, pelvic pain, headaches, lack of energy, and sleep difficulties. Join me on a journey of self-care and empowerment. Prioritising your wellbeing isn't just about you. It becomes a catalyst for supporting yourself and the world around you. Enriching your family, friends, work, and the broader community.

My Name is Alec Booker and I am 30 years old. For many years I was a chef, 10 years to be precise, until I had an accident at work that ended  my career as a chef. I then decided to take a leap of faith and turn my long term interest in Psychology and counselling  into a full time job so I embarked on my Diploma in Professional Relaxation Therapy with the good folks at the BSY Group. In March 2019 after losing my Father in the previous December, I decided to start my first therapeutic company dedicated to the mental health and well-being of the people in need. So I founded Komorebi Gateway Counseling Ltd. With the mission to aid people on their journey to not only a better state of mental health but to treat the client as a whole utilising holistic methods of practice encompassing the ethos Mind, Body & Spirit are as one. I also manage a mental Health Advocacy website and facebook page called Mission:MHAM whose on going mission is to combat and end the stigma surrounding mental health through compassion, education and understanding. Please feel free to check out the links below or if you have any questions or would like to use my services i will add some contact info too.

Practical in Devon May 2022 Theory May 2022 Qualified Hatha Yoga Teacher May 2022 Not even a year yet what a journey !!!! I am now studying again with BSY pre-natal and postnatal yoga. I specialise in bespoke one-to-ones or small groups, as I feel clients like that personal connection. I am bit of a yoga surfer at the moment, I have two places in Penrith, Cumbria that I use and I work around their businesses. I now have my own yoga studio based in Penrith, Cumbria called Jane’s Bespoke Health, and Yoga Studio. I am doing my first yoga retreat this year with a small group of 5 in a remote part of Greece. If it’s a success, it’s something I would like to make a regular thing. I feel I have so many adventures yet to have for myself and my yogini clients. My business card reflects myself and my Father, the roots from him to me, growing and flourishing. My father used to practice Yoga and I feel connected spiritually to him through Yoga. This is even more poignant since he passed last year of vascular dementia, which is such an awful disease, and sadly he never knew I trained as a Yoga teacher.
