Arriving at Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel on Monday, 21st October, it took me longer than anticipated to set up all my equipment. The following day (Tuesday 22nd October), I collaborated with Siobhan's Holistic Therapies to establish a wellness hub at the ADHD Parents Retreat 2024.

Our setup included tranquil music, diffusers emitting lavender essential oil, salt lamps, cozy lounge chairs with blankets, and dim lighting. I was extremely pleased with the transformation of a conference room into a calming space.

Throughout the day, I performed 16 treatments, which left me feeling exhausted (still feeling tired today). I offered a variety of creams such as coconut, rose, lavender & chamomile, shea & cocoa, or unscented, enhancing a smooth hand reflexology experience up to the elbow.

Although it felt like working on a conveyor belt at times, the satisfaction of so many people made it all worthwhile. I received fantastic feedback from the 16 clients and the ADHD Ireland staff.

I am currently feeling elated and optimistic about potential future opportunities, particularly with ADHD Ireland.

Collaborating with Siobhan's Holistic Therapies was a mutually beneficial experience. While I had high expectations, working with Siobhan has set a high standard for future collaborations.

ADHD Ireland was a pleasure to work with, treating everyone with utmost respect. Parents and colleagues were well taken care of and enjoyed a delightful two-course lunch. Everyone I encountered during the event was incredibly kind and hospitable. I look forward to working in such a setting again.
