Holistic Health Spaces, Centres and Organisations in Ireland :
Irish Massage Therapists Association - In Ireland, massage therapy and therapeutic bodywork are unfortunately not regulated professions. Choosing an IMTA-licensed practitioner ensures your therapist has completed accredited training, adheres to professional standards, ethics, boundaries and carries appropriate insurance. This protects your safety, your wellbeing, and the integrity of the therapeutic work. IMTA is Ireland’s only professional body for licensed massage and bodywork professionals in Ireland. Recognised by both VHI and Irish Life Insurance.

Escapada Clinic - An incredible Women’s Integrative Wellness Clinic just on the water in Dún Laoghaire, South Dublin. Offering Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, Cosmetic Acupuncture, Infared Saunas, Holistic Facials and Yoga Classes
Ecstatic Dance - is a free-form, substance-free movement practice where people gather to dance without choreography, judgment, or conversation. Guided by a live DJ or curated sound journey, participants are invited to move intuitively, listening to the body’s rhythms and impulses. It’s a space for embodied expression, nervous system regulation, emotional release, and collective aliveness.
Sandycove Store and Yard Sauna - My favourite sauna spot to frequent in South Dublin. Three Saunas, red light therapy, cold plunges, hot tubs, ice baths all designed to enhance relaxation and well-being.
