Hello and welcome to Beech Tree Wellness.
Nestled in the ‘healing hills’ of Gortavrulla in east Clare, a rural and remote setting, cocooned in greenery and wildlife, it provides the perfect environment to reconnect with nature and with oneself. Whether working with individuals or groups we hope to create a warm and distinctive space that leaves one feeling refreshed and wholesome.
We hope to nurture and assist you in your unique self-healing journey. Yes, we truly believe the knowledge lies within you, within each and every one of us, person or animal, to heal, grow and become the best form of ourselves possible.
The beech tree signifies the closure or end of something. It also stands for changes that rise through realisation. Since its gift is the revelation of experience, it suggests you should cross the threshold that is challenging you, letting go of what you no longer need and desire.
At Beech Tree Wellness, we invite you to cross whatever threshold is challenging you. We commit to supporting you in any way we can and to walk alongside you during your journey of revelation. Our whole-hearted intention will be to always work at your pace so that your overall experience is positive, nourishing and beneficial.
Thank you for joining us and trusting us.
We look forward to seeing you and would be honoured to be a part of your quest.
"We started this out of a passion for understanding mental health and wellbeing."
Aaron Higgins
Believe it or not I qualified and worked as an Electrician many moons ago, as well as being a DJ and working with sound & lighting. However, life kept sending me in different directions and following my own health challenges, including kidney failure and a transplant, I embarked upon a long journey of discovery to where I am today; Youth and Community Worker, Mindfulness Practitioner, Energy Healer, EMMETT Practitioner, Reiki Master, Color Therapist, Sound Bath Practitioner and more.
My ambition here at Beech Tree Wellness is to create a welcoming and inclusive space where I work with people and animals to enhance their overall well-being and encourage self-awareness, self-belief and self-compassion. I am passionate about understanding all aspects of mental health and well-being. I hope to change the existing narrative and stigmas that surround this subject.

Reah Higgins
I am a qualified Social Care Leader since 2006 with experience in a variety of settings, including child protection and welfare, family support, residential care for teenagers, disability services, after-school services, youth clubs and more. I am also an Aromatherapist and a Rahanni Healing Practitioner, and I am passionate about connection, purpose and empowerment, all of which I believe nurture a fulfilled and harmonious life.
My overall wish here at Beech Tree Wellness is to create an embracing environment for everyone, where we can explore, learn and just fully ‘be’ with ourselves and others. One of my passions includes writing and I go by the pseudonym ‘Reenie’ (thanks to my darling husband!). In my children’s storybook ‘Rainbow Tales by Reenie’ I aim to create a fun and relatable foundation for children, parents and professionals to use around ‘big’ emotions.
I believe that being able to identify and name feelings can reduce stress and anxiety and can lead to improved relationships in various environments. The five short stories aim to provide some of the tools and skills needed to do just that. Each tale connects a colour to an emotion and offers simple and effective techniques for managing these sometimes overwhelming emotions, as well as ways to increase resilience and promote gratitude.
In my mindful poetry book “Love Letters for your Soul’ I hope to encourage, challenge, comfort, inspire and relate to others. I believe that in order to flourish in life, we need to experience all of these concepts so that we can be more compassionate and empathetic towards ourselves first, and then others. This book offers a host of thoughts and ramblings. Simple browse at your leisure or open on a random page and send a little love note to your soul. Enjoy!

Animals and Pets love our treatments
Animals and pets respond very well to energy healing modalities such as Reiki and Rahanni. They are very receptive and in-tune with their own bodies and easily let us know what they need and what they do not want. The EMMETT technique also works well to relieve pain, discomfort and tension, as well as enhancing performance and overall well-being. Learn more.

Duration- 2hr
Feel more relaxed
Ease physical and mental tension
This treatment begins with a short EMMETT treatment, followed by a mindful body scan and meditation with different elements incorporated each time such as grounding, compassion and letting-go.
Subtle background music will be used and once the individual is in a relaxed and receptive state of mind, the energy healing session will begin. For the mindfulness, the practitioner will sit beside the client on a chair whilst guiding them through the meditation and body scan. For the healing, the practitioner will place their hands gently above the client’s body and may at times place their hands on specific points. Read Less
The client may feel warm, cold or tingling sensations and may experience twitching, emotions rising to the forefront (joy/sadness/anger/guilt/shame/relief), the re-surfacing of memories, or simply feel in a more relaxed and zen state. Some may even drift off! If this happens, don’t worry, it is quite common and just lets us know you have totally immersed in the experience.
