Welcome to Anam Chara

 

My name is Vicki and I am a certified Infant massage instructor, Reflexologist, Reiki master and most importantly the proud mother to two little people Ella & Jack. I have spent the past 8 years living in Sydney, Australia and have recently moved back to my hometown Cahersiveen in Co.Kerry. My journey with holistic healing began over fifteen years ago in Cork, Ireland, were I studied at the Natural Healing Centre. Since this time I have done further studies n both Ireland & Australia. In 2019 I opened my wellness practice in Sydney and gained wonderful experience in helping to support women suffering from burn out, fertility issues, pregnancy and postnatal support. 

​

In 2020 my husband Kevin and I welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Ella into our lives and in 2022 we welcomed Jack. Becoming a mother has been an incredible experience and I have discovered how much support, self care and nurturing is required during pregnancy and the postnatal period.  I love running Infant Massage courses and helping to educate and support women in their early motherhood journey. Massaging your baby is a gorgeous way to slow down, become present and enhance the bond between parent and baby. I  am also an advocate for mindfulness and meditation and like to incorporate them into my course offerings. I am excited to commence my Infant Massage courses in Co.Kerry in 2023. 

​

Anam Chara Wellness is a safe and loving space. My goal is to help people to connect to themselves. I view my role as a practitioner as being there to walk alongside you (my client) in your own healing journey. I believe all the answers we are ever seeking lie within ourselves and the greatest gift a practitioner can give a client is to unconditionally hold space for their own unfolding.
