About 'Force for Good' Healing & me🌸
I am a Master Reiki Practitioner, Reiki Teacher, a Sound Therapist, a Modern Energy Tapping Practitioner & a Healing Angel Card Reader. I am humbled to be the third generation of healers in my family. My granduncle, Fr. John Shanahan was a respected and loved healer in the Santa Maria Abbey, Nunraw Scotland. He was with the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance. His nephew, my father Denis O'Brien was a diviner and I started healing in 2006. I was encouraged by my dear healer friend Pat Mooney who was helping me with a debilitating illness & struggles in my life.
I could not do this healing work if I had not experienced these pains. They have become my purpose & teacher & give me a greater understanding & stronger desire to help others. I am passionate about the work I do. It is sacred to me.
I use the four complementary healing areas described below to enable young & old to reclaim their health, happiness & peace. I offer a blend of Reiki Healing, Sound Therapy - including Sound Baths, Modern Energy Tapping and Healing Angel Card Readings. My approach is in truth, kind and compassionate. My work is holistic and built on restoring balance & harmony to the body, mind & spirit. In my home I provide a supportive, safe & non-judgemental space to heal & transform your life.
As well as healing I have been actively involved in Art Education for over 30 years & continue to teach & make art in my home. Go to Page 3 for details.
I am the very proud single mom of 2 beautiful girls.
I am blessed, & so grateful. I choose to show up every day as a 'Force for Good'
~ My Four Healing Areas ~
About Reiki Healing?
Reiki is a safe, gentle form of hands-on energy healing that I use to balance the body and enhance your overall well-being. It was discovered in Japan in the early 20th century. Rei means spirit and Ki means energy.
The energy in the body flows and runs through channels call meridians. When the energy system is in balance with no blockages, energy flows freely. If you are stressed or sick the energy cannot flow freely and sickness occurs.
By laying the palms of my hands on areas of your body I can use Reiki to balance your energy & free the energy blocks in your energy system. This supports the body in healing itself.
Reiki helps promote better sleep, improved mood, and pain relief. It helps the body return to a state of relaxation, which allows it to potentially better heal from damage brought on by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, injury, or disease.
About Modern Energy Tapping ?
In the 1970s doctors discovered that stimulating acupuncture points could help lessen fear and phobias in their patients. Between 8000BC – 5000BC the Chinese had already discovered these points located on meridians which are the pathways through which the energy flows around the body.
By tapping on specific points on the face & hands & activating the heart energy centre, a variety of psychological conditions can be treated & cleared.
I teach MET Modern Energy Tapping to my clients to manage their emotions & troubling thoughts, to lower stress & anxiety. This self-help healing method is easy to use & learn and allows you regulate your feelings and emotions. The focus is not on your problems but only getting solutions. By helping you work through anxiety, low self esteem & other negative emotions, you can reclaim your real self. I have completed 'Tapping in the Classroom' Teacher training with Dr. Peta Stapleton of Bond University in Australia, allowing me use my skills within a classroom setting.
MET can be used with Reiki, & after an Angel Card reading or on its own depending on what the client needs at that time. Setting clear intentions, followed by individual &/or Group tapping is empowering.
About Sound Therapy & Sound Baths?
Sound Therapy is a very gentle & beautiful form of healing that uses only sound to promote physical & emotional well-being. Sound is generated by playing Tibetan singing bowls, quartz crystal bowls, koshi chimes, tingshaws and other non western instruments, either on the body or near the body. These instruments produce specific tones & frequencies that create healing vibrations that induce healing in the body.
I practice individual Sound Therapy sessions in my home & Sound Baths for groups in schools, nursing homes, corporate & industrial settings. In group sound baths I use a wider range of instruments.
When you are immersed in these sounds and sound vibrations the entire body responds by reaching a deep level of relaxation that helps reduce stress & anxiety. Anything that helps you enter a more relaxed state impacts positively on the physical body & can potentially help reduce inflammation & pain, boosting the body’s healing response.
Calming the body & mind leads to stress levels falling, with blood pressure & heart rate reducing. It is a great way to promote better sleep, overall calm & enchance your mood.
About Healing Angel Card Readings?
Another service I provide are Healing Angel Card readings. It is not fortune telling. It is a gentle form of healing that helps you receive inspiration & insight from the angels & your guides, in all aspects of your life. By creating a calm, safe space & intuitively drawing cards the client can receive messages of spiritual insight, personal growth & support. The focus is on the now & problem solving, rather than delving too far into the past or making future predictions.
I've been using the same deck since 2002, using it weekly & sometimes daily to guide me & my clients with making decisions that are based in truth & with integrity. I also combine it with other decks. The cards provide subtle clues that give guidance & reassurance. They help identify the blocks in your life & work towards solutions. The guidance received is revealed in a compassionate & comforting way.
I only use the cards with clients if they are comfortable with this method of healing. The readings blend beautifully with my other healing areas of Reiki, Sound & Tapping by strengthening & supporting the clients to set a clear intention and goal.
❤️🌸🌿✨🕊️ Testimonials 🌸🌿✨🕊️❤️
It was an absolute joy to have Geraldine back to Villiers to guide Art students and staff through a sound bath. She invited us to set the Intention of letting in what we want or hope for ourselves on our inhale and letting go of what is troubling us or no longer serving us on our exhale. She outlined expectations clearly and made everyone, staff and student alike, feel comfortable, relaxed and open to the experience. Geraldine is a professional and a firm believer in what she practices and this is one of the many compelling parts of her sound baths. She radiates warmth, love and passion and gives everyone the opportunity to be present and take time for themselves - something I think all of us should do regularly. Thank you !~ Aislinn Dillion, Member of Teaching Staff, Villiers Secondary School, Limerick, Ireland. December 16th 2025 ~
I have had the privilege of working with Geraldine and I am continually impressed by the compassion, patience, and skill she brings to her work with children on the autism spectrum. Her gentle approach to energy tapping techniques creates a calm, supportive environment where each child feels safe, seen and understood. Geraldine introduced modern energy-tapping in our school and, as a teacher working with children with ASD, it has become one of the most valuable tools in my classroom. Before discovering MET, transitions and emotional regulation were often challenging moments for my students. Since introducing tapping, I have noticed a remarkable shift — children appear calmer and more grounded.What I appreciate most is how simple the technique is. The gentle tapping motions feel safe and accessible, and many of my students quickly connected with the rhythmic, predictable nature of the practice. Modern Energy Tapping has not replaced any therapies or supports — rather, it complements them beautifully. It gives both my students and me an easy, empowering way to manage stress and celebrate small steps forward. Geraldine is an excellent, caring teacher and I recommend her, without hesitation, to anyone seeking new tools for neuro-diverse children and pupils struggling with emotional regulation. ~ Therese McCormack, ASD Class Teacher, Bohermore NS Co.

Geraldine has been a dear neighbour of ours for nearly 20 years, so when she suggested attending a Sound Bath session with her, I was mad to give it a go. While trying to remain somewhat fit as the years push on, the body is starting to creak and groan, while only niggling injuries and small aggravations, they're starting to add up. After this one session with Geraldine, a constant issue I've had with my shoulder was completely gone the following morning. The dull throbbing pain I've put up with for so long is currently no more!
The sensation from the energy movement during the session was incredible. The only way I could describe it was that it was similar to being able to physically feel the blood rushing through your veins.
As well as this immediate physical win, the sense of calm and peace I felt afterwards was amazing. Geraldine creates such a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, it puts you at ease right away. I've already recommended a session with Geraldine to so many of my friends, but I'll be ensuring that my mother who was a long time client of Paddy Mooney (who was Geraldine's healer, guide and friend for over twenty years), will come into Geraldine very soon. ~ Keith Murray, December 2025 ~
I have observed how beneficial Geraldine's sound baths can be for all. The calming tones and
vibrations help individuals who have told me they feel lighter, less anxious, and more balanced after
sessions, with some reporting improved sleep and clearer thinking. I have also noticed better
engagement in other therapeutic activities following the sessions. Overall, sound baths have become
a valuable, accessible way for people to experience calm and support their emotional regulation and
recovery. ~Sarah Danagher Therapeutic Coordinator for Recovery and Wellbeing in Mental Health, UHL~
I’m Barbara Kieating and I work as a Therapeutic Co-ordinator in the Acute Psychiatric Unit in University Hospital Limerick. Geraldine has been running pottery classes here for the past number of months and Patients/Service users really enjoy the sessions. They report great satisfaction at being able to produce something they are really pleased with. Geraldine works in a way that empowers the clients to produce something beautiful with simplicity. This enables them to feel happy with their achievements.
We welcome her visits to the ward.
Recently we had our entrance door to the unit window painted in a festive Christmas fashion by Geraldine. Each painted bauble contained words of Peace, Calm, Joy, fun, Love and Hope. It is colourful, welcoming, fun and beautifully striking. It has set the festive scene for our ward and we love it. Thanks Geraldine.

Geraldine is one amazing lady. I have done numerous Reiki sessions with her and have benefited from them so much, both physically and emotionally. So I decided to give sound therapy a go today and I was just blown away by the experience.
The bed was so comfy, the room is laid out beautifully and Geraldine is so knowledgeable in her field that you are put at ease straight away.
During the session I felt like I was actually floating as I went into a calming meditative state.
I couldn't believe the range of sounds and tones I was hearing.
I felt all sorts of lovely gentle vibrations and tingles and I went to college later that evening and aced my demonstration, so thank you so much Geraldine for helping me to believe in myself & for all your hard work

"I recently experienced a sound therapy session with Geraldine from forceforgoodhealing. It was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, she created a space that felt calm, safe, & deeply nurturing. Her professional yet compassionate approach immediately put me at ease as she thoughtfully explained each step of the process.
The session itself was extraordinary. I entered a profound state of relaxation and could feel the gentle vibrations resonating through my body, soothing my nervous system and bringing a deep sense of peace. By the end, I felt rebalanced, refreshed, and surprisingly energised.
It was a truly transformative experience, and I would highly recommend Geraldine to anyone seeking relaxation, healing, and inner calm through sound therapy. ~ Colette Murphy ~ October 2025~
"I started attending sessions with Geraldine after the traumatic loss of someone very close and on the recommendation of a friend. Geraldine is extremely intuitive, very professional and has a good understanding of the human condition both physical and spiritual. Geraldine takes the time to clearly explain what she sees and feels is going on and what her approach is to dealing with it. After each session, the results are tangible with a greater sense of peace and an inner calmness, I'm more accepting of the reality of where I'm at, I have better clarity on where I want to go, and have a better understanding of the bigger picture. The sessions include both Reiki and Modern Energy Tapping. She is very generous in sharing her knowledge and I would highly recommend Geraldine." ~Ian Kelly ~April 2025~
"Geraldine has helped me so much beyond my expectations. I came to Geraldine after a trauma and was dealing with grief mixed with being overwhelmed by my day-to-day life, I felt I was at complete breaking point but after coming to Geraldine I felt a massive weight had been lifted from my shoulders, it's a truly incredible experience to feel so calm and relaxed during her sessions." ~Niamh Fitzgerald ~ March 2025~
"Geraldine is amazing at what she does. I can highly recommend her. As soon as I arrived for my sessions I felt instantly comfortable. Before we started she took the time to explain what we would be doing together. Most of my session times were dedicated to Reiki and then we did some Modern Energy Tapping together at the end. I felt very big energetic shifts as a result of working with Geraldine. She truly does have healing hands!"
