Why It’s so Important for Organisations to Be Trauma-Informed
I have just returned from the ACTION TRAUMA Summit, held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Belfast earlier this week. At the summit I was facilitating the Madrona Room and the many fabulous speakers in it. I had many insights over the 2 days from the speakers I sat with that I will include in my […]
General Facts about Floating and Hydro-Ease, Northern Ireland’s Premier Float Centre
It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog about floating. It’s usually floating for mental or physical health related, or something that has piqued my interest that month. We’ve had a few people in the last few months enquire about floating with a stoma (Colostomy bag) or during or after cancer treatment. These are […]
Shamanic Laws that deliver us to freedom.
I was recently introduced to the 4 fundamental laws of Shamanism, these four laws resonated very deeply with me as it’s been my philosophy in life for a while. In my studies over the last 20 years and in my deep search within myself I have found these to be true and communicated to me through many of my […]
When we take responsibility for our reactions.

The magic really is within you … the healing magic that is.

Symptoms of the procrastinator

The parts of ourselves that we create (usually early in life) in […]

At salty towers (Hydro-ease 😊) we are so ready to welcome you into a place of calm and relaxation during one of the busiest times of the year. At this point in the year a lot of us feel time just slips away and we don’t have enough of it, or it drags, and we just […]
November
November is always a busy month here at Hydro-Ease. And even more so this year as we are a staff member down, the lovely Maela was offered a last-minute University place to study Art Psychotherapy and our new staff member doesn’t start until January 2024; that’s the thing being a business owner, you are always […]
We Cannot Change The Seasons, But We Can Adjust Our Clothes.
Wow! October already, time for trick or treat, or as we used to call it years ago in Scotland “Going Guising” Dressing up and going door to door telling jokes or stories for money, sweets, or fruit. The trees are turning a beautiful array of colours, cosy jackets, scarves, and hats are being worn and […]
The body knows the score – The float score that is.
There has been much written and discussed about the temperature of the water in a float environment and a common misconception is to have the water hotter in cold countries. While there is a little grace in this its not as much as you would think. The temperature in a float environment should range anywhere […]
