Welcome!
Hello, my name is Laura McDonald and I run my business, Eden Wellness, in Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland. If you are ready to make a change, whether that be breaking free from a habit, increasing confidence, finding motivation, moving forward from fears, letting go of limiting beliefs or just looking for direction in life, I use a variety of techniques in my work that may be just what you are looking for. 

You can bring your mind to a place of focus and discipline so that you can navigate your days as best as you can, and deal with things constructively from a point of clarity and confidence. We can't control what goes on around us or outside of us, but we can learn to control what happens within, and this can be beneficial in every area of life. 

I know what it's like to feel lost, unsure, uncomfortable in your own skin, and unsure of who you even are. I stepped onto this path of studying the human mind purely to figure out my own; and once I started, my original chosen career goals took a complete turn and I became a hypnotherapist in 2004. 

​Since then I have gone on to become a BrainWorking Recursive Therapist and Coach, allowing me to help more people across a broader range of issues. I train others to become hypnotherapists at my training school, EICH Ireland, and have been doing so since 2016. I was the trainer for BWRT Ltd in Ireland before covid interfered, training Irish practitioners and psychologists the amazing technique that is BrainWorking Recursive Therapy. 

In April 2022 I relocated from Kachina, Castlebar, to my own space, Eden Wellness Centre, also in the heart of Castlebar. From there I offer daily appointments, late evening appointments, and small weekly meditation classes. 

I work with general stress, worry, confidence issues, sports motivation, exercise motivation, smoking cessation, fears, changing your reaction to a situation or painful memory, and more. I work with individuals aged 18 and above. If I can't help you, I can often point you in the right direction and refer you to someone else who can. 

If you'd like to find out more or to request an appointment, please fill out the appointment form here. If you are enquiring about stopping smoking, please us this form. Please note, it may be necessary to obtain consent from your GP; in such cases, I will give you a letter that you can give them to stamp.
