“This is the first time I’ve felt so regulated, calm and connected in 3 years” 💫

This client had a 2 hour psychosomatic therapy session with Danielle. She came at a point in her life where she deeply knew she needed support. For the past 3 years she had been struggling with anxiety, a sense of loss, and a constant internal void. Socialising had become difficult, leaving the house felt overwhelming, and even simple experiences like going for dinner or travelling were triggering panic responses. Her system had been on high alert for a long time.

Within the session she immediately felt seen, understood, and able to make sense of what was happening in her mind, body, and energy. That clarity alone began to autoregulate her system.

After the session she experienced some profound shifts….

She felt a deep calm and presence in her body that she had not felt in over 3 years. She went for dinner with her father, for the first time in a long time, did not feel the need to run away and escape the environment.

She also noticed a dramatic change in her sensory perception. Colours and nature appeared more vibrant and alive. This happens because when the nervous system becomes more regulated, the photoreceptors in the eyes become more responsive. They send clearer signals through the optic nerve to the parts of the brain that process light and colour, allowing the visual world to register more vividly.

The restless, antsy feeling she lived with daily for 3 years had completely disappeared, which enabled her to feel safe and relaxed in her body.

Masculine Courage 💫

Another very happy client has just completed his 3-month journey, and the shifts have been profound. He is a musician and very creative, having been in a band, but for the past one to two years he had set that aside, believing he needed a “stable” job to provide for his family. While he fulfilled that role, he felt extremely unhappy, knowing deep down that his heart and true path was elsewhere.

His stunning and supportive partner, who is also a client and aligned in her own journey, booked him in as a birthday gift, knowing he needed help.

Here we are 3 months later: through nervous system regulation, somatic alignment, and neuroplasticity at the root of his journey—he has found the inner courage, clarity, and calm to take a huge leap of faith.

He has left the job that no longer served him and is now writing music again, recording an album, and reconnecting with his creative path.

This is the beauty of psychosomatic healing: bridging the gap between mind and body, beliefs and behaviours, thoughts and actions. It also shows the power of having a partner who supports your journey, creating space for courage, clarity, and transformation to flourish.

It’s a reminder: when the nervous system is regulated and the mind-body pathway is aligned, true clarity, bravery, and creative freedom naturally follow.

It’s such an honour when men come to do the work with us ❤️

One of our clients, diagnosed with ADHD and on stimulant medication, shared his 72h check in after his recent 1:1 in person session. He described feelings of being cracked open, with emotions rising through his body that had been in holding patterns for years. He felt vulnerable and exposed, yet he also said there was something profoundly beautiful about it. He knew these emotions had been repressed, unexpressed, and stored in his system for far too long.

For generations, men have been taught to push everything down. To shut the door on their emotionality. To keep moving, performing and achieving. They have been taught to run from their feelings, to avoid the heart, to see softness as weakness and emotional expression as “unmanly”. This sociocultural conditioning leaves men fragmented from themselves, living from the head, carrying a nervous system that has never known safety in expression and vulnerability.

But this is changing 💫

We are living through a massive upheaval in consciousness. The shifts in the Schumann resonance, the intensity of solar activity, the natural arc of evolutionary expansion are all mirroring what Darwin pointed to: when an environment changes, the system adapts.

Humanity is evolving, and the human nervous system is evolving with it.

We are moving out of millennia of wounding that taught men to armour up. We are entering a time where embodiment, emotional intelligence, and heart led action are no longer luxuries but necessities for human evolution.

When a man sits in front of us and allows himself to feel, when he meets his own truth without running, when he lets his body soften after a lifetime of bracing, it really is nothing short of sacred.

✨ Christmas Food Appeal – We Need Your Help ✨

This weekend, our annual Tesco Christmas Food Appeals will be taking place in three locations:
📍 Cabra (Navan Road)
📍 Ashbourne
📍 Rush

If you’re doing your shopping in any of these Teaco stores, we would be so grateful for your support.

We have the basics covered for the families we’re helping — but we still need the Christmas extras that make the season magical for children.
We’re asking for donations of items such as:

🎄 Christmas puddings
🎄 Crisps & sweets
🎄 Selection boxes
🎄 Christmas logs
🎄 Treats and festive goodies of any kind

These “little extras” make a big difference in helping us bring joy to every child this Christmas.

The need is greater than ever.
In 2024, there were:
• 629,495 people living below the poverty line
• 190,108 under the age of 18 of those
• 168,075 under the age of 16

And in 2025, the core social welfare rate of €244 per week is €122 below the poverty line of €366.

These are more than numbers — they’re families doing their best to get through each week. At Christmas, we do everything we can to help bridge that gap.
But we can’t do it alone.

So please, if you’re able, support our Christmas Food Appeals this weekend.
Your kindness will bring light, warmth and joy to a family who needs it.

❤️ Thank you ❤️

Common Misunderstandings About the Nervous System and Hormones

I’ve had a surprising number of emails from people who’ve been using ChatGPT to guide themselves into somatic release. I need to say this gently but clearly….

AI is not a substitute for a regulated, attuned human nervous system.

We are not robots. Every one of us carries a completely unique nervous system, shaped by our own lived experiences — our attachment wounding, early attunement (or lack of it), trauma history, nervous system wiring, even our epigenetics. Your body holds a story that’s entirely YOURS.

AI can’t attune to that. It can’t track your nervous system, breath, eyes, micro-expressions, or the moment your system starts to go into overwhelm. It has no access to your physiology, your baseline & thresholds, or inner landscape.

Somatic practice isn’t “just prompts”. It opens stored repressed & suppressed materials, memories, emotions & sensations that have been held for years, even generations. Going into that alone, without co-regulation, without a practitioner who understands the nervous system & without a proper integration programme, can dysregulate the system even more!

At Firefly Somatics™ every client is met as an individual. You’re met with your unique, attachment patterns, traumas, brain chemistry, nervous system wiring & personal background. Everyone is treated differently because everyone IS different.

Before any client sits into session, you undergo a health assessment. Sessions are then designed intuitively around your psychosomatic blueprint — working with the mind, body & deeper layers of fascia, muscle memory & visceral intelligence. Everything is tailored to you, your nervous system capacity, mechanical patterns & emotional landscape.

We provide ongoing check-ins to hold you within a container, ensuring your system integrates & stabilises. There’s also a vagus nerve regulation programme put in place to support the nervous system while it integrates & undergoes Neuroplasticity.

AI can’t do any of that. It can’t hold you, read your cues, or help your body come back into safety. Please be extremely cautious if you’re using AI for anything somatic related. Your body needs human connection, safety, and attunement, not algorithms.
