River Holistic Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. I had a holistic massage with Katie. Lovely atmosphere and treatments leave you feeling so relaxed and rejuvenated.
Hi Thank you so much for taking the time to both send this review but also spending your precious time with us today. Really looking forward to seeing you again in a couple of weeks. Claire
Fantastic experience: Claire was really kind as I booked in for my massage, making me feel valued and understanding my reasons and what I was looking for. Katie gave a very nice, relaxing massage. The yoga classes with Niamh and Martina are brilliant too.
Hi Isabella It was my pleasure. You deserved some minding and I'm really glad you enjoy your time with us. I agree about katie, martina and Niamh Look forward to seeing you again soon. Claire
Negative experience: This was my 1st time in River Holistic in 8 years. I booked into a yoga session. The session was amazing and the teacher very knowledgeable. However the place is very dirty and quite run down since I was there last. I was shocked. It began at the entrance, the carpet old and scruffy. Walls going up the stairs dirty and I thought ok, interesting... went to toilet...bins full, soap nearly gone. When I entered the teacher was cleaning, I heard her say that she brings her own hover all the time, she wasn’t giving out it was just a matter of fact. l felt sorry for her that she brings her hover with her to a space she is renting... I could see the room was dirty, even though the teacher tried her best. hairs, fluff, dirty walls etc.... just an unkept space in comparison to then wonderful space I went to 8 years ago. I don’t think management has changed? I soon forgot about the dirt as the teacher lead us in a magical sessions. But I’m not going to return as I’m going to look for that teacher in another location. Cleanliness is essential. Thanks.
Hi Clo I really appreciate your feedback on this. Unfortunately I have been off with a family situation and have been relying on my amazing teachers to help me out with the space while I have been unable to get in. This solely falls on my shoulders and not the amazing teachers that teach from the space. All i can do is apologise and will do better. No excuses just apologies. As I am the only management and owner for the centre it does fall on my shoulders when standards slip. Again feedback is how we learn and I will not shy away for that. Appreciate you taking the time on this. Claire
Fantastic experience: I visited River Holistic today and karen looked after me. I am very plessed with my treatment and feel i received wonderful benefit from it. Karen gave me such a warm and friendly greeting when i arrived at the centre. Olivia
Hi Olivia, Thank you so much for taking the time with this and I totally agree, Karen is a very special therapist. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Claire
Fantastic experience: Although I have only had two TMJ sessions with Karen, I know I will be a customer for life. As soon as you walk in the door of River Holistic you are greeted with such a warm welcome. Not only is Karen an expert in TMJ massage and gives me such relief from my symptoms, she creates the most lovely uplifting atmosphere during the session and has such a warm presence. I have really enjoyed our past two sessions together. Thanks again Karen and I look forward to our future sessions ! :)
Hi Aisling So happy you have gotten the benefits from your sessions with Karen. Thank you for taking time to write this. It means alot to the therapists to see such kind words. See you soon Claire
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this place enough. From when you walk in the door you are welcomed warmly and you can tell how much customer experience means to not only Claire (the owner) to all the people working there. All the ladies are amazing but I need to especially mention Katie, Hilary and Olivia who always give such amazing treatments and make you feel so welcome. I always come away from any appointments feeling refreshed and happy. I have been going to River Holistic for years now and I will keep going for years to come.
Hi Claire You always bring in such lovely energy for each visit which is infectious for all of us. See you soon for your next session. Claire
Fantastic experience: Excellent treatment this evening with Cindy, as always she is a wonderful therapist so kind and caring.
Hi Sheila Sosmorry for the delayed response to your review. We really do appreciate the time is takes to leave one. Cindy is very special as you know. I will pass this on to her for you. Have a beautiful day and see you soon. Claire
Fantastic experience: I was with Elaine today for a full body massage it was amazing and to add to it she’s such a lovely person Thanks so much
Fantastic experience: Well what can I say, as an ex massage therapist myself you always worry booking on somewhere new. Never have I had a more welcoming or amazing treatment ever! Hilary is amazing I've been recommending her to everyone. She has healing hands and energy! And she is so skilled! Claire has made a perfect haven for stressed out people to come and have a deep breath! Truly a little slice of heaven here on earth!
Fantastic experience: From the moment you walk through the door, you are enchanted into a world of tranquillity and zen with a very warm welcome, and that's before you've even received any treatment! Thankfully, their wonderful products and online shop also allow you to recreate the same experience at home!
Hi Caoimhe You are so good to take the time to share your experience with us. Can't wait to have you back soon. Claire
Fantastic experience: I had an exceptional treatment last night with Sinead, her techniques and precision are excellent. The amount of pressure she was applied was really impressive and she definitely kinked out the knots in my shoulders. I slept so well and today feel like I'm on a cloud! Thank you
Hi Orla She is an amazing therapist and so happy you loved your treatment. Also I hope you had your quiet time this morning Claire

HI Anna, We love having you with us and can't wait to have you back soon. CLaire

Claire is the most caring individual and the service she provides to alternative therapists and patrons is exceptionals I'm very grateful to have this service on my doorstep

Fantastic experience: I genuinely love this place. The moment you walk in you feel serene and very well looked after. From the front staff to the therapists everyone is professional, very friendly and helpful. I recommend River Holistic if you're looking to relax and forget about the outside world for a moment.
Hi Beata, Thank you so much for this and it has made our day. Cannot wait to see you again soon. Claire
Fantastic experience: Really friendly, hygienic and peaceful place. The receptionists are very friendly, welcoming and make you feel at ease with every interaction. Anne Gavin, as a therapist, is particularly excellent. Her knowledge and experience in reflexology and deep tissue massages is very commendable. Having visited her over a number of months, I have found my stress levels and muscle aches reduce. The ease at which she is able to diagnose problems, and relive pain is amazing. Thank you Anne, and River Holistic!
Hi Maulik, Thank you so much for taking the time to send this. I will pass on your your kind and very true words on to Anne. It means so much to us to hear that you have enjoyed your time with us and as always we look forward to seeing you again soon. Claire
Fantastic experience: A place where everyone genuinely cares about your well-being! My first experience in River Holistic was yesterday and I wish I’d discovered this gorgeous place sooner. I had a treatment with Katie and I left a different woman. Claire went above and beyond to fit me in for treatment at a time I really needed it. Can’t wait to visit again, a real hidden gem in Raheny. Thank you for taking great care of me.
Awwhhhh Laura, I hope you are still looking after yourself. Always here if you need anything Claire
Fantastic experience: I book reflexology with Anne. I feel amazing. I would highly recommend Anne and the team at River Holistic, they are fantastic!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience in Riverholistic. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming as soon as you enter. I went in for a back, neck and should massage with Anne and left feeling so much lighter! She was so pleasant and calm and the massage was pure bliss. The hour went by way too fast! I highly recommend
Hi Emma, Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know how you found your time with us. These words really do mean so much. Looking forward to having you back with us soon. Claire
Fantastic experience: If there is a better massage therapist than Cindy, I have yet to find them. Cindy is simply amazing. I almost don’t want to leave a review in case she books out. Seeing Cindy is simply the highlight of the month. I don’t have enough words to describe how genuinely she restores the body a mind. And she is a sounder to boot. Run. Don’t walk.
This is so true. Thank you Jo. Looking forward to having you both back with us soon. Claire
Fantastic experience: Such a beautiful Space, the lady at the desk, Claire was so welcoming, kind and approachable. She gave me a free gift that just MADE my day. Will be looking into the classes that she spoke to me about. Good vibes

Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know that you are getting so much from Joyanne treatments. We look forward to having you back again with us soon. Claire
Fantastic experience: I'd give11/10 if that option was here for my recent Reiki treatment with Colette. I have had Reiki in the past but there's absolutely no comparison to Colette. I had been suffering from extreme anxiety and stress for a couple of weeks and now I feel uplifted, calm and my clarity is restored. I genuinely couldn't believe the instant results and am so grateful they are lasting. I feel motivated and present again. I can't thank Colette enough for her healing and for the enlightening experience. I'll be making regular appointments and would encourage you all to do so too.
Louise she is a truly beautiful soul and I'm so glad you loved your time with her. I have passed this straight onto her. Kind words are priceless ❤ Claire
Fantastic experience: I had an absolutely amazing massage today from Anne Gavin. It was an hour but the time flew, felt like 10 minutes. I will definitely return and recommend this place to all my friends. Really helpful people, from booking an appointment, sorting out vouchers issues, having a lot of attention to health moments and the massage.. It's just a paradise for those who have sore back and massage lovers
Thank you so much Yuliia for your kind words. We can't wait to have you back real soon. Claire
Fantastic experience: Raynor massage with Joyanne was absolutely amazing! Best massage I have had for my tight muscles and tired limbs! I have had many sports ans deep tissue massages but Raynor massage is best in class. Joyanne is a great listener and picks up immediately where you are sore or tight! She works all those small spots and you come out truly like a new person! Highly recommended!
She is a stunning therapist and I'm so glad that you feel so much better after your treatment. We will see you again real soon.
Fantastic experience: Excellent place to purchase some beautiful, unique products from. Aftercare with purchase was amazing & all questions I had were answered. Definitely recommend
Thank you so much Denise. Your kind words and support mean the world to me. Claire
Fantastic experience: Ive had 2 treatments now with Joy and honestly she is brilliant, so much that I recommended her to my friend and also got my wife the same treatment. She found all the tension throughout and released it all leaving me feeling amazing. I would highly recommend

Hi Caoimhe, She is an amazing therapist and I'm so glad you are working so well together. I will pass this on to her. Claire
Fantastic experience: Had a pregnancy massage with Dee a while back and I couldn't say enough good things about it. Not only was it absolutely relaxing and calming, I also felt safe and Dee was so friendly to talk to. Couldn't recommend enough!
She is a stunning therapist. So happy you felt safe and relaxed. We can't wait to have everyone back soon.
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic massage with Joy last week. From the moment I rang to book the appointment, the whole experience was wonderful. Super friendly and kind staff. It felt very safe with the restrictions in place. I'm really looking forward to my next visit to Joy already. Well done guys. This kind of place is very special and so needed at a time like this. ❤️

Also to learn more about what else they have to offer. I've come away thinking I wish I knew about them before I wasted my hard earned elsewhere. Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: I had the Zone Facelift Facial Reflexology with Dee, what an amazing treatment. From start to finish it is utterly relaxing. Dee is an incredible therapist who makes the difference between an outstanding experience and a usual treatment. The results of this facial are superb, I would highly recommend it and will definitely be returning, Marianne
Hi Marianne, She is a stunning therapist and the facial has such brilliant results. So glad you are happy and we will see you soon. Claire
Fantastic experience: I have to say honestly, Dee was amazing to meet. I have never experienced refexology like this before. i came away walking on air afterwards, and felt like she really made a profound difference in my life. Defenitely going back !!
Adrian, I am so happy that you experienced such a beautiful treatment from Dee, she is a brilliant therapist and we look forward to having you back at the centre real soon. Claire
Fantastic experience: I booked in with Hilary for a full body massage. I’ve had a lot of massages over the years and Hilary is by far and away the best I’ve been too. It really felt like she was so in tune with what my body needed. I walked out of there feeling so relaxed and free of a lot of the tension I was carrying in my back, in particular. Amazing experience – I’ll be booking in again in the next few weeks.
Hi Clare, so glad you loved your treatment. Hilary is amazing. We look forward to welcoming you back real soon.
Fantastic experience: I wish to thank Anne for a very enjoyable holistic massage, I feel so much better today after it. Looking forward to next one in January, Wishing you a very Happy Christmas.

Fantastic experience: I had a excellent reflexology and massage session with Anna. I was a bit nervous about reflexology as I do not like my feet been touched - wow I almost fell asleep.I highly recommend River Holistic for whatever your body needs you will find it all under this roof.All the staff are friendly and very helpful.Claire the Owner is always willing to give advice on whatever it is that bothering you.Wish I could afford it I would visit every week.Watch this space I will be back real soon.
Teresa I will pass this on to Anna, you can just pop in for a cuppa anytime for a chat, sometimes that's all that is needed. See you real soon. Claire
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of spending the day refreshing my Reflexology skills with Claire of River Holistic. Claire is truly amazing. Her knowledge is incredible, her hands on approach and her support went above and beyond. I cannot rate her highly enough. Thank you so much Claire for a fantastic day, nurturing my skills and growing my confidence.
Karen, it was such a pleasure, you are an amazing therapist and thank you for reminding me how much I love teaching this therapy especially to therapist's with such a natural ability.
Fantastic experience: Last week I attended hospital because I could not hear. I had fluid in my inner ears which would take several weeks to improve. LMD is a gentle massage treatment which involved Aideen applying a soft touch to my face and my ears in a gentle manner. I could feel something shifting on that first treatment. The next morning when I woke up, I was amazed to see all around my eyes and nose was physically different. I knew that the congestion had shifted and warranted a second treatment. Another positive effect of the treatment was the improvement in my sense of smell. I have had sinus problems, as long as I can remember and have been attending doctors for years looking for a solution. Wen I initially met Aideen, I was intrigued regarding her treatment and instinctively knew that I would be attending her. The importance of connections and being part of a network was invaluable in my recovery. Visiting Aideen was the best thing I have ever done. Just over a week since the doctor told me it would take weeks I have my hearing back again. Alternative therapies can complement traditional medicine. Traditional medicine offered me time and patience, Aideen provided me with a solution. If you have sinus or ear problems, do not hesitate to contact Aideen Schweppe.
I am so glad that you got the relief that you needed. I will pass on this to Aideen. See you soon, Claire and the River Holistic Team
Fantastic experience: I had a refresher Holistic Massage course last weekend with Dee. I found her very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend that course and a facilitator to anybody who needs to refresh massage skills. Ivan (Galway)
Hi Ivan, I am so glad you got so much out of the course. I wish you the best in the world with your future. Claire
Fantastic experience: I had a pregnancy massage with some reflexology with Anna. It was absolutely amazing. She also gave me some really great advice and had such a lovely caring energy. The centre itself has a calm and nurturing environment, looking forward to going back :)
Thank you so much Gemma. I hope you and baby are doing well. Claire and the River Holistic Team
