About Carina Collins: CranioSacral Therapist.

As I sit here writing these words at my CranioSacral Therapy Cork Clinic, I realise just how much has happened to bring me to this point over the last 25 years of my work experience.


First, a Bit of Pre-History...
In 1982, I qualified as Teacher in the Irish Junior Cycle Education system. For the next 16 years I enjoyed working with children of all ages between four and twelve. To complete the cycle, I now have some of my ex-students return with their own infants and children for CranioSacral Treatments!


I had my first child, Evan, in 1991. A bonny, bouncing baby boy. I must say that I delighted in nurturing Evan as an infant and seeing him grow stronger and smarter day-by-day. In 1993, Rosaleen arrived. A mini blonde-bombshell! It was amazing to experience the different characters in babies.


In 1996 I woke up one night in severe pain. I was rushed to the hospital where I had an emergency operation. It turned out that I had an ectopic pregnancy and had narrowly avoided bleeding to death. It was only over the next number of years that myself and Mike (my husband) realised the effect such a sad event has upon our lives and the need for the body to heal over time.


I now realise that it is through my own direct experiences with the natural cycles of life and the complications that may follow – that have lead me to explore holistic and complementary ways of supporting women, men, infants, babies and children through these cycles.



My Formal Qualifications
When I lived in Woking, Surrey in the UK in 1995 I attended the Guildford College where I received a Certificate in Counselling.


In 1998 I truly started my formal education in Bodywork and healing with training and certification in:

  • Anatomy and Physiology

  • Holistic massage

  • Sports Injury Massage

  • Pregnancy massage

  • Bio-Energy

  • Indian Head massage

  • Reiki Master and Teacher

  • And, of course, CranioSacral Therapy (I am an Upledger-qualified CranioSacral Therapist).


Back to the Present...
Even though I now specialise in CranioSacral Therapy, I have found that experiencing all of the above has given me a tremendous “feel” for working with people in a holistic manner and a very good idea of what really works for which condition.


I now practice CranioSacral Therapy in a modern and busy city practice - Elmwood Medical Practice, Frankfield, Grange just outside Cork City.
