There's no wrong way in.
If you're new to this work, this is the place to begin.
At Expand Wellness, we offer three core ways of working with you in person:
-
Somatic Alignment
-
Conscious Connected Breathwork
-
Reflexology & Energy Healing.
Each one meets you in a different way.
Some are deep and slow.
Some are powerful and cathartic.
Some are soft and restorative.
Alongside those, we have our online programmes and we hold monthly events at The Studio where we gather in community.

Breathwork or Somatic Alignment - what's the difference?
Both work with the body, the breath, and the nervous system. The difference is in the lead.
In Breathwork, the breath leads - a structured group practice that moves you through what's been held. In Somatic Alignment, your nervous system leads - a 1:1 or small group session guided by what's present in your nervous system that day. The breath supports the work; it doesn't drive it.
In Person - Kilkenny.
Our in-person work is rooted in two spaces. The Studio, where 1:1 Somatic Alignment and Breathwork classes are held. The Cabin, where Reflexology and Energy Healing sessions take place. Both are quiet, private, and built for the body to feel at ease.
SOMATIC ALIGNMENT 1:1
Deep, slow, body-based work.
For when talking has reached its limits. When you know something needs to shift, but you can't think your way into feeling calm, safe or supported.
Somatic Alignment works directly with your body and nervous system - gently, and at your pace - so what's been held can begin to release. This isn't a technique applied to you. It's a conversation with your body, guided by what's present on the day.
Want to go deeper between sessions? Align is our on-demand embodiment programme, and our Nervous System programme Rewire helps you understand what's happening underneath.
"I had been living with this pain for years. I tried almost everything that had been recommended. Some things helped a little, but nothing really lasted - until I started Somatic Alignment and learning more about my nervous system."

CONSCIOUS CONNECTED BREATHWORK
Powerful. Sometimes cathartic. Always honest.
Conscious Connected Breathwork uses the breath to access and release what the body's been holding. The times you stayed strong. Put others first. Pushed an emotion down because there wasn't room for it. None of that disappears - it gets stored in the body, and it shows up later as tension, reactiveness, exhaustion, or just not feeling like yourself.
CCB can feel like a release you didn't know was waiting. Most people walk out feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to themselves.
Held as a fortnightly group class in St. Canice's Neighbourhood Hall or as a small-group Deeper Dive for going further.
While our breathwork offerings are mixed groups, Simon also holds Men's Breathwork sessions at the Studio every 4-6 weeks. See our Events for dates.
"Breathwork changed the way I relate to myself. I came thinking I was here to relax. I left realising my body had been holding things I didn't even know I was carrying."

Reflexology & Energy Healing
A soft place to land.
Sometimes you just need to rest. Not fix anything. Not work through anything. Just put it all down for an hour and be looked after.
Reflexology and Energy Healing offer that. A quiet, nurturing space where your system is given the conditions to soften and settle. We work with the feet, hands, face, or head as the entry points - slow, intuitive, reflex based and led by what your body needs that day.
The kind of session you leave feeling lighter, slower, and more like yourself.
If you're drawn to this kind of softer, restorative space, you might also enjoy Ground - our monthly restorative gathering for women, with gentle meditation, sound, and energy work. Find it on Events.
"I do not know where to start when it comes to how I feel after either a breath work class or a reflexology session with Grainne. I feel focused, relaxed, a sense of clarity and peace. My energy is boosted, and my whole body feels a sense of calm."

Online - at your own pace.
For when you want to do the work in your own space, on your own time.
Two paths, depending on where you are. The Reset Series for short, focused support when life feels too much. Align and Rewire for deeper learning - six-module programmes you can move through at the pace that suits you.
All available on-demand, with lifetime access.
THE RESET SERIES
Three short, focused mini-programmes for the moments life feels like too much.
Three mini-programmes for the moments when everything feels heavier than you can carry. Not deep dives. Not commitments. Just the right tool for the season you're in.
Overcoming Overwhelm is available now. Burnout and Grief are on the way. Each one is self-contained, self-paced, and built to be done over a week or a weekend - short enough to actually finish and focused enough to actually shift something.
Take one when you need it. Or take the bundle if you're ready to build the full toolkit.
Each programme €33. All three together €79.
Looking for something deeper? Align and Rewire are six-module programmes for sustained learning over time.
ALIGN & REWIRE
Two deeper programmes | Nervous System Work
Where the Reset Series gives you focused tools for specific states, these two programmes go deeper.
Each is a six-module on-demand programme, designed to be taken at your own pace. One is for understanding the work. The other is for living it.
They stand alone, but most people who do both find one supports the other.
Each programme €149. Or together €249.
ALIGN
A six-module embodiment programme.
Six weeks of Conscious Connected Breathwork paired with the deeper work alongside it - guided practices and structured reflection in each module, designed to help you understand what's surfacing, not just release it.
The breathwork moves what's been held. The work alongside it helps you make sense of it, integrate it, and choose what comes next.
For anyone ready to go deeper with themselves - whether you've been in a class with us or you're starting here. The drop-in moves what's there on the day. Align works through what's been there for years.
By the end, you have a practice you can return to for life, and a body that knows how to come back to itself.

REWIRE
A six-module foundational programme.
Most people don't need more tools. They need to know which tool to use and when. Rewire teaches you to read your own nervous system - what state you're in, why you keep landing there, and which practices will actually shift it.
Each module builds on the last - clear teaching, real-life examples, and practical tools you can use the moment your nervous system needs them.
For the person who's tried therapy, meditation, breathwork, journaling - and felt them help, then fade. The missing layer isn't another technique. It's understanding what's happening underneath, so the right tool finally meets the right moment.
No jargon. No performance. Just the understanding that makes everything else you've tried finally start to work.

Two programmes, one direction. Align moves the work through your body. Rewire helps you understand what your body's been telling you all along.
Also held in The Studio
Monthly evenings, men's circles, deeper breathwork, and mini retreats - small intimate gatherings, held with the same care as our one-to-ones.

PRIVATE GROUPS & CORPORATE
In addition to our regular offerings, we take bookings for private sessions & small groups.
We also hold private sessions for couples and groups - whether you're navigating something together as a family, gathering with friends, working with a team, or simply looking for a shared experience that goes a little deeper.
Each session is shaped around what you need. Breathwork, somatic work, or a slower, restorative session - held in our studio in Kilkenny.
