About Connemara Holistic College
Meet the people
behind the college.
The idea for Connemara Holistic College grew from our own clients, who wanted to learn more about the holistic therapies they were experiencing. Stephanie and Laura founded the college to create a welcoming place for that curiosity to grow.
Rooted in Connemara and Galway, the college brings together experienced practitioners with a shared desire to educate and encourage others. Both founders hold Train the Trainer qualifications and bring the insight of their own practices to their teaching.
Stephanie Connolly
Owner of Fuinneamh Wellness
Stephanie is a Reiki Master and a highly qualified massage therapist whose practice also includes other forms of energy work. She brings a breadth of hands-on experience and professional training to the college, along with a desire to make holistic learning approachable. Her teaching encourages curiosity and helps students build understanding and confidence through practical experience.
Laura Martyn
Owner of Loinnir Holistic
Laura is a transpersonal therapist and shamanic counsellor whose work encompasses energy healing, reflexology and other holistic therapies. She brings this broad experience to her practice and teaching, with an approach that recognises each person as a whole. Laura shares her knowledge with care and clarity, creating a grounded space for students to ask questions, explore new ideas and develop their skills.
There is a place for you here
Different paths. A shared love of learning.
From a first workshop to an accredited course, our growing programme offers different ways to learn. We welcome beginners, people exploring an interest for their own wellbeing, and practitioners who want to continue their development.
We also welcome other facilitators to share their experience and lead further courses, bringing fresh perspectives and a wider choice of subjects to the college. Wherever you begin, you can expect space for questions, practical learning and encouragement along the way.
