Bailey Barbour
Bailey has always felt called to help and care for others.
She first started her career in the healing arts over 15 years ago as a nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and then continued her studies to become a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner in the state of Florida in the U.S. Early on in Bailey’s nursing career she realized the massive negative impact of unmanaged stress on both herself and her patients. She also quickly realized that modern medicine was not well equipped to help people manage their stress and she began to search for more options that could help relieve stress and holistically heal the body.
Her journey outside of her nursing career first began when she discovered the huge benefits of yoga on both the body and the mind. She went on to complete a 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training and specialized in Women’s and Prenatal Yoga.
Bailey moved to Ireland in 2016 and shortly after her arrival, Reiki came into her life. She was fascinated by this complimentary form of medicine and dove deep into learning all she could about this powerful stress relieving and healing modality. She studied various types of Reiki including Usui/Holy Fire III Reiki, Angelic Reiki, Medical Reiki, Usui Tera Mai Siechem Reiki, Usui Reiki, Oceanic Reiki and Celtic Reiki.
Music has also been a huge part of Bailey’s life and when she discovered the benefits of sound healing she decided to study the modality and now is a Certified Sound Healer. She enjoys creating healing frequency music tracts where she incorporates the healing sounds of nature, the Solfeggio frequencies and binaural beats into her music. She combines her musical compositions with her Reiki sessions to positively augment her clients' experiences. She also enjoys including the healing vibrations of singing bowls and tuning forks into her in person Reiki and Sound Healing Sessions.
Reiki is a holistic healing practice that involves the channeling of energy through the practitioner's hands to the recipient to promote physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Some studies have indicated that Reiki may help reduce pain and improve pain-related outcomes, particularly in individuals with chronic conditions. It is thought to work by promoting relaxation and the body's natural pain-relief mechanisms. Research has shown that Reiki can induce a deep state of relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep and calm the nervous system. Studies suggest that it may help lower the stress hormone, cortisol, contributing to an overall sense of calm. Individuals receiving Reiki treatments have reported improvements in their overall quality of life, well-being, and emotional health.
Sound healing has been used for centuries to promote physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being. Sound healing works through the process of resonance where the body becomes in resonance with the calming sounds and vibrations it is absorbing from the music and sounds. Sound healing induces a deep state of relaxation, helping to reduce stress and anxiety. The soothing sounds calm the nervous system, lower cortisol levels, and promote a sense of tranquility. Sound therapy has been shown to help alleviate pain by promoting the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. It can be especially helpful for chronic pain conditions. The calming and meditative effects of sound healing can also lead to improved sleep patterns. Many people find it easier to fall asleep and experience more restful sleep after a sound healing session. Some studies suggest that sound therapy can enhance immune function by reducing stress and promoting relaxation, which supports overall health.
