Orla Brady Training

Orla Brady Training I provide workshops and professional training in Nervous System and Trauma Education. in Applied Psychology.

My work bridges nervous system science with lived experience, exploring how stress physiology, trauma, and embodiment shape long-term health and resilience. Through my 25 years of experience within the field of kinesiology and psychology, working with high-end athletes and people who have suffered trauma, stress, and poor mental health, I began to realise that one of the biggest problems my client

s struggled with was emotional discomfort hidden within their physical body. This led me to research more deeply into the emotional component of the physical body, discovering the possible connection between childhood trauma and unexplained medical symptoms amongst adults, ultimately completing my Ph.D. Through many years of clinical work and experience with those immensely affected by trauma, I have been able to formulate the practice of Energetic Embodiment®. It is now my aim to introduce this process to other therapists who are working within similar fields, as it is through this practice, I believe that one can truly find balance amongst the chaos.

I want to share something personal today.

When I first sat in a Gestalt process group, not as a facilitator, but as a participant, I was nervous. Closed. Almost afraid to speak.

I sat and listened as others began to share how they were feeling, and something unexpected happened. I started to feel safe. Safe enough to find my own voice. Safe enough to speak for myself, maybe for the first time in a long time.

I was a people pleaser. I would do anything to keep the peace, smooth things over, make sure everyone was happy, never pull anyone up on what they said to me. Conflict felt dangerous. Keeping everyone else comfortable felt like my job.

And I was exhausted.

Through the group process I began to understand where my own boundaries needed to grow. I started to see the patterns I had carried for years, and for the first time, I could see them clearly, without judgement. I came away with a deeper understanding of myself and a genuine compassion for others too.

That's what Gestalt group work does. It meets you where you are. And it changes things, quietly, powerfully, from the inside out.

I now hold Gestalt process groups at Stone Whispers here in Enniskillen. If any of this speaks to you, I'd love to hear from you. 💛

Have you ever felt that exhaustion of always keeping the peace?

✨ Stone Whispers | Where Dreams Become Reality ✨

This week marks the close of a truly extraordinary 6-week Gestalt process group and my heart is full.

Eight brave, beautiful humans chose to show up. Week after week. For themselves.

They sat with the heavy stuff. The deeply personal stuff. The parts of themselves they hadn't always felt safe enough to look at. They explored boundaries, faced old patterns, and discovered what it truly feels like to be safe not just in a room, but within themselves.

And they did it all within the most exquisite setting imaginable: Stone Whispers. 🌿

Stone Whispers is a wellbeing centre unlike any other a beautifully curated space where restoration, healing and transformation come together. A place where the nervous system settles, the mind clears, and the soul remembers itself. But what makes it truly extraordinary is this: Stone Whispers began as a dream. One of the brave women in this very group held that dream, trusted it, and brought it to life in the most breath taking way.

How's that for a living, breathing example of what happens when we push past the fixed and step into the possible? 💫

This is the essence of Energetic Embodiment the work I hold space for. Helping people move from where they're stuck into new, healthy patterns that bring genuine contentment and a deep sense of self. And it all happens in the power of the group because there is something truly transformative about doing this work together, held by others who are on the same courageous path.

If you've been feeling the pull to do your own inner work in a group setting, held within the healing atmosphere of Stone Whispers I'd love to hear from you.

The next chapter is always waiting. Are you ready to lean in?

Over the past few years my work has evolved in depth and direction.

While therapy formed an important part of my professional journey, my focus now is fully on workshops, training, and education in Nervous System and Trauma-informed practice.

I am increasingly interested in how lived experience shapes physiology, how stress patterns become embodied, and how understanding the nervous system changes the way we view long-term health.

This page will now reflect that direction.

I’ll be sharing insights from practice, reflections on trauma-informed work, and information about upcoming workshops and professional training opportunities.

If you’ve been here for a while, thank you for staying.
If you’re new, you’re very welcome.

Busy plotting a way to be there for all you “Wild Daisies” 🤗

My Energetic Embodiment training for kinesiologists may be full until next year, but I’m adding the finishing touches to something new for you.

The Wild Daisy Chain will be uncovering the connection between trauma and unexplained medical symptoms amongst adults.

Why Wild Daisies? Because they are the tough ones that thrive even through cracks in the pavement.

You are my kind of people 🥰

I’m always so touched to receive lovely feedback like this from my clients and students. 💕

The real joy though comes from witnessing the transformations they experience 💫

Though I get very busy with clinic work, studies and and teaching my Energetic Embodiment students, I am creating a membership for those of you that may be falling through the cracks.

Think of a wild daisy: They thrive in the cracks … stay tuned for more on this in November.

What is kinesiology? It is a holistic therapy which uses muscle response testing to measure the motor response of the central nervous system to a sensory challenge.

By doing this, imbalances can be determined and methods to rebalance the body can be indicated.

Kinesiology works on the basis that in order have total health, we must look at the person as a complete whole. Factors that affect the physical body will not only have an effect on other parts of the body but will have an effect upon the mind and emotions too.

For example, chronic back pain could lead to a person feeling depressed and by the same token, excessive worry could contribute to the development of a stomach ulcer or digestive problems.

Kinesiology makes use of muscle testing techniques to monitor the flow of energy throughout the body on a very fine level.

Through this system, a kinesiologist practitioner can identify the factors which may be disrupting the natural flow of energy which are essential for good health.

Corrections are made by gentle massage and touch on reflex and acupuncture points.

Kinesiology makes use of specific body movements and may suggest changes in lifestyle or nutrition.
