I love colour and its effects, and use vivid colours in my paintings. I love to use the beautifully-smelling Aura-Soma ‘Equilibrium’ bottles.

I’ve trained in Reiki 1 & Shamanism, facilitate a weekly women’s drumming circle and love 5 Rhythms dancing.

What is Aura-Soma?

Aura-Soma is a form of colour therapy, energy work and soul therapy. Aura-Soma helps to bring our inner beauty out, to reflect our positive gifts and talents, to help us to be in touch with why we are here and what we are here for.

What is an Aura-Soma reading?

You choose your four favourite bottles from over 100 beautiful bottles that have two different layers infused with the healing energies of colour, plant extracts, gems, crystals, essential oils, Glastonbury Chalice water and love. The meaning of the colours you have chosen is explored in the reading with each bottle seen as a key to consciousness, helping us to connect to the very essence of our soul.

Can I use Aura-Soma bottles?

After a consultation, you can choose to use one of your bottles which helps to synchronize the wavelengths of the body's electromagnetic energy system and restore the energy flow in the aura and in the chakras. Using the colours of your Aura-Soma reading, I also accept commissions to do a soul reading painting or mandala.

Paintings

Come along and see my paintings hanging on each of the three floors at Dervish. The paintings were done using acrylic paints infused with the sacred ash of Amma from her visits to Dublin. The paintings are for sale and €100 of the price will go directly to Help Our Women charity.

Help Our Women is a small charity that helps women and their children who, as a result of living under appalling conditions caused through war or suppressive regimes, are suffering from the effects of extreme poverty and sickness. The charity assists women in Latvia and Kabul and are also about to begin selling ethnic shawls, bags and other products using Fair Trade principles. See www.helpourwomen.org for more information.
Dervish have fundraised for Help Our Women by having Open Days where therapists work on a donational basis, with this donation then going directly to HOW, enabling the charity to continue its work.

Size: 40” x 30” (1016 x 762mm) deep-edged canvas

Price: €400 euros, €100 of which will go directly to Help Our Women charity.

“Heart”

Influenced by the styles of yantras and mandalas, this painting links the green heart-shaped shamrock with the unfolding lotus flower.

I want to give the impression of love just bursting out of the red heart together with Amma’s love coming through the sacred ash in the paint itself.

“Balance”: an expression of the balance between masculine and feminine energies.

The yellow sword-like cross represents the soul light within guiding the way and shining forth: the outward, strength of the solar plexus seat of power. Behind lies a simplified Sri Yantra representing Shakti, the female principle and Shiva, the male principle. The pink chrysanthemum represents the feminine.

(In Japanese culture the sword and the chrysanthemum are revered for strength, precision, beauty and ephemerality respectively.)

I use dots in my paintings to represent the sacred as they remind me of the use of dots in Aboriginal paintings.
