My name is Aoife Hogarty, from an early age I suffered badly with I.B.S due to stress, the pain was so bas I often passed out. When I was 14, I started practicing kickboxing & martial arts, and continued until I was 22. During this time I incurred a lot of injuries. One in particular was my pelvis popped out of place (I know this because I felt it!) Over the space of 2 years I spent a lot of money on various types of treatments, but they either didn’t work or worked short term. My doctor told me I had to stop training and fighting, and it looked like there was an operation on the cards! He also wanted to prescribe anti depressants for my I.B.S. which I wasn’t too happy about.
Thankfully I found Integrated Bodywork & Energy Technique, it absolutely changed my life! In 8 weeks I was back training and not only competing but winning competitions. Not only that, I was much more relaxed, I could sleep better, and the pains in my stomach melted away. I became more aware of my body and could feel when something was out of alignment, so I was able to get it fixed before it became a problem. I started to recognise what in my life was causing me stress and changed it. I became a much happier healthier me, happy in the knowledge that I found something that worked.. finally not just for the physical pain but the mental & emotional too.
I was in my 30s when I trained in Integrated Bodywork & Energy Technique. I spent all my working life in the corporate world and loved it, but this is where my old life ended and my new life began. All 3 courses were intense 100-hour courses with a week long workshop at the end. During the first course I attended a yoga meditation retreat in Spain, it was there that I really got to work on myself. It made me hungry for knowledge, knowledge about myself and how by working on my own issues I would be in a better position to really help others. I later went on to complete further advanced workshops & courses along with an anatomy & physiology course. I continue to study advanced workshops, courses, healing workshops & retreats.
What I did next
I did a lot of work with Stuart Greene, a brilliant Spiritual Psychotherapist, learning about how we are structured, our minds, our bodies, how our environment and how we think and see things can affect us. Also about the archetypes and how we are made up of them, the Animus & the Anima and how the ego works. Most of all I learned a lot about myself and that there is always more to learn.
I completed a Workshop Leadership & Teaching Skills course under Helen DaVita, a well renowned and respected teacher. The curriculum was based on the level 6QQi framework of National Qualifications and its certificate of achievement is accredited by IICT. The course entailed understanding principles of adult learning and applying the principle of V.A.K., awareness of learning needs and incorporation. As part of the course, I planned and developed lectures, workshops, and tutorials. I have been developing and running mindfulness, personal development, and meditation workshops successfully since 2017 and I love it. Understanding how people learn and what needs to be taken into account while developing and teaching workshops have given me a great opportunity to really help people.
Working with Energy
As part of working with energy I wanted to learn more about the spooky side lol. The more I learned, the more I wanted to learn. I attended Healing, Mediumship development & demonstrations, Emotional intelligence of spirit and trance mediumship courses in Arthur Findlay Spiritual College in London, working with Helen DaVita, Angie Morris, Libby Clark and Paul Jacob to name but a few. I learned about what mediumship is and how to work with it. Turns out its not spooky at all!
For me working with Energy is all there is, because I see everything as energy. Our Bodies, Minds, Thoughts, Emotions… Everything around us. Energy can not die or be created, it can only move around. I believe energy is everyones first language, we don't realise that it is the only true universal language. As we evolved we learned how to communicate vocally & over time forgot our true language. We are all still very much communicating through energy, we just don't understand it. What I do isn't hard, and I believe that everyone can do it if they wanted to. Having some understanding, (or at least my understanding) of energy helps me to do what I do.
What do YOU want to do? The possibilities are endless when working with Energy.
What can I do for you?
I can provide you with a safe non-judgmental space where you can come for treatments, to help your Mind & Body to realign, freeing you from whatever pain you are suffering. I can help you to learn, either by attending my workshops or lectures, or by asking for advice on your personal or spiritual development. I can teach you about how you can start to heal yourself from within.
I have been working as a Natural Health Practitioner since 2014, each client brining something different as everyones experience is different. As you can see, I have gained a lot of experience & knowledge in the field of Natural Health, Mindfulness and Wellbeing. I believe our health starts from within.
My mission is to teach people to be able to help themselves, as we truly are the creators of our own world. Only we have the power to really change what’s going on in our lives.
