Oscailt, which is the Irish word for ‘open’, is an invitation to all of us to be open to the resources we all have within us. As an integrative health centre Oscailt sees health and well-being as more than the absence of illness. Oscailt is a place where we can learn to draw on our own inner resources to bring about well-being and nourishment for our body, mind, heart and spirit. To this end we offer a large range of disciplines, among which are mindfulness, self-compassion, psychotherapy, life coaching, energy Healing, Nutrition, Alexander Technique, Meditation, Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, Reiki, Baby Massage and much more. As a community of health and well-being practitioners, part of our mission at Oscailt is to support each other in our various disciplines, thus being better able to provide a warm and welcoming service to the local and wider community who come through the door to us. An Open Invitation is an innovative integrative health centre providing a warm friendly welcoming space for people to become resourced and empowered in taking care of their emotional, mental and physical well-being. It offers an ever deepening journey for growth through its courses, one-to-one sessions, classes, retreats, therapies and outreach in Dublin city. AddressOscailt,8 Pembroke Road,Ballsbridge,Dublin 4.
