Hello, I'm George Rickard.

Having been involved in sports all my life and having trained in Holistic Massage and Sports Massage I was ready to take the next step on my therapy journey when I was asked to join a Physical Therapist course. But my gut told me it wasn’t for me as you only work with the container of the person, ignoring the mental and emotional aspects.

I changed jobs to work as a Health and Safety practitioner in 2008 and found this to be rewarding as I was finding safety for people at work. Both physically and also psychologically. Through being naturally empathic I was able to put myself into others shoes and find ways to help colleagues through listening and taking action.

Being the youngest of six children I found my way of being seen in being obliging and supporting and helping at home. I remember volunteering as part of school work in a cerebral palsy clinic when I was very young and although there was no verbal communication a part of me realised that we can connect profoundly in ways beyond language that can be more meaningful and supportive.

Having worked as a holistic and sports massage therapist for a while in the early noughties I began treating craniosacral therapists and found myself in 2008 on the anniversary of my wedding attending the first weekend of CranioSacral Therapy course with Upledger Ireland. But along came children and a mortgage and before I knew it I was working in corporate jobs managing health and safety.

Post COVID I returned to complete my Craniosacral therapy training and in April 2024 I graduated.

My interest lies in supporting clients work on somato emotional release. I hold safety for them to make space for all parts of themselves to show up.

I continue to do my own work through therapy and supervision knowing that the journey to health is that of a lifetime.
