Birth Trauma Therapy
And EMDR
After sharing my birth story with Eilís, I had the chance to work with her using EMDR to process the trauma I was still holding.
It was a gentle but powerful experience that helped me reconnect with myself and feel real relief. Eilís created such a safe space—her care and calm presence made it easy to trust the process.
I’m so grateful for the healing that came through our sessions. Even a year later, I still feel the benefits. I can think about my birth without falling back into the whirlwind of negative emotions—now I see it with healthy emotional detachment.

Children’s Sleep Therapy
We started seeing Eilis while still struggling with our 8.5-year-old son not sleeping through the night in his own room. Eilis took time to understand our full story—his birth, early years, health history, our family setup, diet, bedtime habits, and more. She helped us connect the dots between his recent ADHD diagnosis, unresolved medical trauma, digestive issues, anxiety, and his sleep challenges.
She suggested blood tests to rule out deficiencies and supported us in making manageable changes to his diet and bedtime routine, along with recommending high-quality supplements. Most importantly, she was patient, kind, and completely child-centred. We felt genuinely heard and supported every step of the way. Our son’s sleep and overall health have improved hugely, and we finally feel on the path to long-term healing.
I’d recommend Eilis to any family facing complex sleep or health challenges.

Scar Therapy | MSTR
I found Eilis through In Harmony after hearing the words ‘scar treatment,’ and I immediately knew I had to get in touch.
I had an episiotomy, and even after the initial check, the scar was unbelievably painful. I contacted Eilis to see if she could help, and she agreed.
Our first meeting involved a lovely, long chat about her background and my birth story, and I felt incredibly comfortable, especially after learning that Eilis is a trained midwife with many other qualifications.
She approached the treatment very gently, explaining everything thoroughly. It was painful at first, but after just a couple of sessions, my scar already felt significantly better.
I left feeling like I had made a huge step forward, and Eilis provided the exact support I needed. I highly recommend Eilis, even if you’re feeling a little nervous, because she truly made me feel so much better and more connected with my body and birth story. Thanks so much, Eilis!

Pregnancy and
Newborn Period
I first met Eilis towards the end of my pregnancy for a postnatal consultation. She was warm and approachable, and answered all my questions clearly, giving me confidence and reassurance.
After our meeting, I contacted her several times before the birth, and she always replied promptly with helpful information that was both holistic and evidence-based.
After my baby was born, I asked Eilis to visit for a baby check and breastfeeding support. She was calm, supportive, and knowledgeable. In the weeks that followed, she was always available when I had more questions.
I really appreciated her presence and care during this time. I would highly recommend Eilis.
”Eilis helped us create a supportive gentle routine that improved sleep for all of us. Her calm, thoughtful approach made such a difference”
