How do you feel?

The dreaded question a lot of us struggle with.

When you grow up in a home where expressing emotions feels unsafe, that ability is quickly suppressed.

When your feelings are consistently dismissed, minimised, or ignored, you learn a painful lesson: your emotions don't matter, and no one will listen.

In the void left by silenced feelings, the mind takes over. It becomes a tireless evaluator, calculating the 'safest' or 'best' course of action.

This strategy, while initially helpful, especially for simple decisions, falters as life's complexities increase.

The constant barrage of thoughts becomes overwhelming, an orchestra of 'what ifs' and 'should haves'. Add to this the demands of daily life – work, family, responsibilities – and your mind can easily spiral into a state of analysis paralysis, thinking itself into oblivion. And also, you can end up an expert at managing everything, and feeling nothing.

So, where do we go from there?

In therapy, we turn to the body.

Your body holds the key to your authentic emotional experience, a signature of your true self.

It might manifest as a subtle sensation, a tingle, a heaviness.

We approach these sensations with curiosity, following a trail of breadcrumbs back to the feelings that lie beneath the layers of learned suppression.

Before external voices told you your emotions were invalid, before 'common sense' began to dictate your experience, there was a genuine feeling.

We rediscover that.

CROIA (Cree-ah)

Meaning & pronunciation!

Most of you maybe not know that we started work well over a year ago to renovate 16-22 Bank street, which is now our beautiful two story health & wellness centre.

It took forever to choose a name that suited perfectly, was meaningful to us & that we both loved!

Some of you that know us well will know we have two beautiful children each with names of Irish origin, so it felt right our fifth baby had one too.

CROIA was the name we kept going back to, it was meaningful to what we want to achieve & how we want our clients to feel when visiting the Medispa, that they are cared about, appreciated & have some self love!

We hope you love it as much as we do! 🤎

A beautiful street and a beautiful space.
“Croia” translated means “little heart”.
This space made perfect sense for embarking on this new adventure.
I’m delighted to be part of the team here.
