There's no wrong way in.
If you're new to this work, this is the place to begin.
At Expand Wellness, we work with you in three core ways in person:
-
Somatic Alignment
-
Conscious Connected Breathwork
-
Reflexology & Energy Healing
Each one meets you differently. Some are deep and slow, some powerful and cathartic, some soft and restorative.
Alongside those, we run online programmes and gather monthly at The Studio.
Not sure where to start? Take our quick quiz - a few gentle questions about how you're arriving, and we'll point you to the session that fits you best today.
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 one space - The Studio. Quiet, private, and built for the body to feel at ease.
SOMATIC ALIGNMENT 1:1
Deep, slow, body-based work.
For anyone who understands their stress completely and still can't shift it. For when talking has reached its limits - when you know something needs to change, 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. It isn't a technique applied to you - it's a conversation with your nervous system, guided by what's present on the day, where the stress cycles you started but never got to finish finally get to complete.
What people notice afterwards is feeling calmer in themselves, sleeping better, and that low hum of unease starting to settle.
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.
You can get through the whole day and still lie there wired at night - the stress has passed, but your body never got the memo. The times you stayed strong, put others first, pushed an emotion down because there wasn't room for it - none of it disappears. It gets stored in the body, and shows up later as tension, reactiveness, exhaustion, or just not feeling like yourself.
Conscious Connected Breathwork uses the breath to reach and release what's been held. The breath is one of the most direct ways to tell your nervous system the threat is over, so the body can let go of what it's been carrying. No experience needed - you lie down, we guide you, and your body does the rest.
It can feel like a release you didn't know was waiting. Most people leave lighter, clearer, more like themselves - and usually sleep better that same night.
While our breathwork offerings are mixed groups, Simon also runs Common Ground - a monthly men's gathering at the Studio. Breathwork, an optional cold plunge, and time by the fire, alongside other men. 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.
For when you're running on empty and just need to be looked after. Not to fix anything, not to work through anything - just to put it all down for an hour and rest.
Reflexology and Energy Healing ask nothing of you. A quiet, nurturing space where the 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 softer, lighter, and more like yourself - and usually sleeping deeply that night.
If you're drawn to this kind of softer, restorative space, you might also enjoy 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."
Dawn
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.
Overcoming Overwhelm
For when life is full and the body is bracing. Tools for anxiety, racing thoughts, and when things feel "too-much" - the kind of pressure that doesn't lift just because the day has ended. A reset for the weeks when everything feels louder than it should, and you need a way back to feeling steady.
Burnout
For the slow, depleting kind of tired that rest alone doesn't fix. The kind that builds when you keep pushing past your capacity, ignoring the body's whispers until they turn into something you can't ignore. This is the work of learning to listen earlier - and giving your body what it's been asking for.
Grief
For what the body holds when something is gone. Grief isn't only about losing a person - it's the things that didn't work out the way you'd hoped, the future you'd pictured, the version of yourself you didn't get to become. This is space for what didn't get to be - without being asked to be over it.
ALIGN & REWIRE
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.
Investment: €149
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.
Investment: €149
Two programmes, one direction. Rewire helps you understand what your body's been telling you all along. Align moves the work through your body.
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.
