Holistic Treatments in Baltinglass County Wicklow with Jean Kelly

Graham and I had a very pleasant visit to Baltinglass last month. Why go to Baltinglass you may well ask? What has Baltinglass to offer?

Baltinglass

Well, Jean Kelly Massage and Holistic Therapist offered Graham and me some complimentary treatments. Jean has joined other members of her family in offering holistic treatments.

Jean Kelly

Her father and her brother Jimmy are already well-known spinologists in Baltinglass and  Jimmy’s partner Roisin Ellis is a neuromuscular therapist.

So it is pretty much a ONE-STOP SHOP for your body.

Below you can see the building, situated in Weaver’s Square. And head over to my instagram to see where I got my kimono/coat. Hint: (located in Malahide, I have found some fab pieces there recently)

GRAHAM REPORTS ON HIS TREATMENT – EAR-CANDLING

For anyone who thinks that having a lit candle placed in your ear is frightening, I can assure you it is not!

ear candling

The candle is lit and placed in the ear. As the candle burns, it creates a gentle suction action and the movement of the flame creates a gentle vibration of air within the ear canal. This then creates a massage-like effect on the eardrum. As the candle burns, I heard a crackling sound and felt a gentle warming of the ear.

I then had a very pleasant and relaxing lymphatic drainage neck and facial massage to encourage detoxification.

Ear-candling can help in the treatment of ear-ache, headache, tinnitus, glue ear and sinusitis.

 

HILDA – BACK MASSAGE

Jean’s approach is holistic and gentle. I know many people who dislike massage (they find it too painful) but who would love this. I love all types of massage. If I was rich, I would have my own personal masseuse and have a different type daily.

I particularly liked how Jean focused on the muscles at the base of the skull. Many of us hold our tension here and pressure and stretching this area helps release it.

I would imagine that headache and migraine sufferers would love it.

 

HILDA – ORGANIC FACIAL

Centella is a French Skincare brand, certified natural and organic.

The products used in this facial are rich in stem cells which have been extracted from the Centelle Asiatica plant. Stem cells help to repair tissues when dead cells stop working and they help to regenerate the skin and to restore it to a more youthful state. It is also  rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals which help in the regeneration of the skin cells.

I loved the jade stone sticks and roller (below) used to improve micro-circulation and also to help plump up the skin.

Jean Kelly facial

My favourite part was the relaxing pressure point massage on the scalp. In other words, your hair gets a workout too. So do not waste your time washing your hair before a visit. Below you can see my glowing face. Jean also offers reflexology, which I have had before and loved.

BALTINGLASS

I had never been to the town before so we had a wander around.

Baltinglass AbbeyBaltinglass Abbey

The town’s outstanding feature is the former Cistercian Abbey (above) founded in 1148 and today a National Monument. It is located next door to the local Church of Ireland church.

Below you can see the pretty centre of the town. For coffee lovers, there are several cafes scattered around.

This was my first visit to Baltinglass. Probably not my last.

    Your skin looks amazing after the facial! I’ve always wondered what ear candling is like. You’d never get Mr Mutton to try it so good for Graham. Thanks for linking x

Porto you are stunning. Loving our trip with @trav Porto you are stunning. Loving our trip with @travel_department and still the best part of two days left to explore. Would you believe we walked 14 km yesterday and some of it was up and down hills like this? Boy did we sleep well last night! Porto has surprises around every corner.  And it is a very accessible city. Cannot wait to tell you all about it. Have you been? Looking for  a recommendation for a restaurant for tonight or tomorrow lunch time. We are in the Boa Vista area but can taxi.

What I wear out walking! Love my sales purchase @s What I wear out walking! Love my sales purchase @selectedireland. Is it a gilet? I have no idea. But it is perfect for our Irish weather. Love how it dips at the back too.
Plenty of room to layer up underneath. Leggings are my old favourites @peachyleanofficial. And my runners are @asics. I find they give super support.

Hard to believe the trench is about 40 years old. Hard to believe the trench is about 40 years old. Classics never date do they? And in Ireland it is always advisable to have a coat of some kind, whatever the season. 
Happy Friday everyone. Looks like being another beautiful Spring day here.

Post up on what makes me happy. Lots of different Post up on what makes me happy. Lots of different things in fact. But in this post I focus on grandchildren, the safe arrival of my new grandaughter and the joy I get from reminiscing on past holidays and looking forward to new.
This pic was taken when we were in Morocco a few months before the pandemic struck. We had a wonderful trip @tdactiveholidays. And so glad we were guided as we saw so much more and were well looked after.

Skincare meets makeup. The new No 7 Restore & Ren Skincare meets makeup. 
The new No 7 Restore & Renew Foundation might just become my new favourite. 
I do not like heavy foundation on me and prefer a lighter, more natural look. But at my age, I need something that adds radiance, evens skin tone and does not emphasise wrinkles. Plus it is full of skin-loving ingredients. Win win!

'More is More and less is a Bore'! Inspired by st 'More is More and less is a Bore'!

Inspired by style icon Iris Apfel, my Style Not Age friends and I dig out our beads and bangles and go maximalist on the blog. Our theme coincides with the launch of her collaboration with H&M.
So head over to my friends and see how they interpreted the theme!

What I might have worn on St Patrick's Day if Covi What I might have worn on St Patrick's Day if Covid had not finally got me. Luckily I was not sick at all and the only symptom I had was a touch of sinusitis. When I get sick I nearly always have sinus problems.
Hope you have been enjoying the beautiful weather because Spring has definitely arrived in Ireland.

Have been wearing #playtex lingerie for several ye Have been wearing #playtex lingerie for several years now. They are so pretty and most importantly very comfortable.  And with #underwear comfort is key! 

This latest set is from their top selling 'Flower Elegance' range. It comes in many colours and I chose this lovely greyish blue set. This is #gifted but happy to buy others because they fit me so well. 😍
My first bras were Playtex and in my 60s I have returned to this iconic brand again. Everything comes full circle!
