"I recently injured my elbow playing tennis and went to Inner Health Solutions for help. This was my first experience with massage. The therapeutic massage helped me keep playing and my elbow was pain free after three sessions. The overall benefits of a regular massage have been great and I keep asking myself "Why didn't I start this years ago?" Jane Ortiz, Principal Coach, Ortiz Consulting Services, Melbourne, Victoria. Corporate Health & Fitness "Inner Health Solutions was invited to conduct Health Seminars on the benefits of ancient exercise practices for corporate health. The Seminars proved to be extremely successful and as a result of these, Inner Health Solutions was asked to conduct hourly Chi Gong classes on a weekly basis for employees. The classes were always well organised, structured, and extremely professional. Staff were consistently assisted and instructions were always very thorough and clear. I would not hesitate in recommending Inner Health Solutions for any future work in the corporate health arena." Anna Kapentanios, Training Co-ordinator, Human Resources Dept, Remunerator (Aust) Pty Ltd, Burke Rd, Camberwell, Vic. "Inner Health Solutions has been conducting Corporate Massages in our office for the past three years and it is something that our staff look forward to each time. Gerard O'Riley is an excellent practitioner and the staff feel at ease around him. The seated massages are very relaxaing and Gerard also gives the staff valuable tips on posture along with exercises and stretches to do during the day. The staff here are all waiting for his next visit!" Matthew Fijalkowski, Chief Information Officer, Remunerator Aust Pty Ltd. "For the past 6 years, I have trained in the healing martial art of Pancha Tanmantra, under the guidance and tuition of head instructor Gerard O'Riley, Proprietor of Inner Health Solutions. Personally speaking, there are far too many benefits to mention in terms of my own personal journey, other than to say it has been one of empowerment, a vehicle for good health and a means of self expression. Gerard is a generous teacher, delivering his knowledge and instruction with great insight, compassion and most importantly to the tradition of this ancient art form." Nicholas Tomaras, Premium Account Executive, Sensis Pty Ltd, Melbourne, Victoria. Back to top "I trained in Chi Gong exercises with Inner Health Solutions and for the last 2 years I have practiced Chi Gong almost every day. The routine is a gentle series of movements that have substantially improved my general health and well-being. My breathing has also improved along with my endurance and muscle strength, particularly in my legs, arms and shoulders. It has greatly improved my immune system as I haven't caught a cold or flu for the past 12 months. It is well and truly worth the effort." John E. of Beaumauris, Melbourne, 71 year old retired bank manager. Back to top "I have been training with Gerard O'Riley (Proprietor of Inner Health Solutions) for over five years in the martial art of Pancha Tanmantra which has slowly but surely turned into a passion for me. Gerard has a relaxed, intuitive, spontaneous, at times challenging style of teaching that I admire and now thirst for each week. I have just turned 50 and have never felt so good in my body largely due to the whole body, meridian based, life enhancing style of the form. I highly recommend anyone to give it a try, both women and men alike."
Peter Malcolm, Watervision P/L, Warrandyte, Melbourne, Victoria Back to top Counselling & Psychotherapy "I have had sessions with a number of counsellors and Deborah Sheehy of Inner Health Solutions is among the best. She is very sensitive to the needs of her clients and doesn't push you in any direction, but really helps you to find the thread of your own story within yourself. She has helped me to learn to talk about myself rather than always making myself fit to the needs of others and has given me much needed and valuable help to navigate my psychological needs during a life-threatening illness and personal difficulties in my life." Ronald Beatty, Hawthorn, Victoria. "Deborah Sheehy of Inner Health Solutions has a very nurturing and gentle nature, providing a safe and relaxing atmosphere to open up in and has helped me to make important life decisions. After a few sessions of counselling I felt I had moved out of a rut of negativity, depression and indecision and was much clearer about the direction I wanted to take in my life." Amy N. College Student, Flemington, Victoria. Back to top I highly recommend Inner Health Solutions who are able to provide something a little different for the innovative Physical Education curriculum. Their proprietor, Gerard O'Riley is a responsible, professional instructor who was able to share his interest in holistic healing with the students in a most interesting and enlightening manner. The student response to the classes was always positive and they found the information shared to be very useful in their everyday lives." Ms. A. O'Shea, Head of Health & Physical Education, Loreto Mandeville Hall, Catholic School for Girls, Toorak, Victoria. "What has impressed me most about the type of massage that Inner Health Solutions does is that, although based on a tradition and ancient art, it is most relevant to our students. The massage is conducted with students fully clothed, sitting on a chair, a position they find themselves in for the majority of the school day. Because of this, the students are learning techniques that allow them to relax, both physically and mentally, and relieve the stress associated with long periods of sitting. These are practices and techniques the students will be able to carry with them for the remainder of their lives." Mr. M. Nelson, Head of Physical Education, Methodist Ladies' College, Kew, Melbourne, Victoria. St. Michael's Grammar is a co-educational, Anglican School, inner city, Melbourne. We strive to be innovative and creative and to challenge young minds. The key values of diversity, innovation, individuality, inclusivity and uniqueness, are instilled in our curriculum and they are values which set us apart. Gerard O'Riley of Inner Health Solutions has been working with us for two years on the Massage Component of our Year 10 Physical Education Unit which meets all of these values and has been one of the most beneficial and rewarding additions to our Physical Education Program. Gerard provides a safe and calm environment in which the students enjoy this unique lesson. The success of the program is its diverse nature as well as its delivery. In addition to our Year 10 Program we have also used Gerard's Inner Health Solutions Massage services on Staff Work Days. he has provided much needed seated massage for our staff! I have no hesitation in recommending Gerard and his teaching services to support any aspect of schools Physical Education & Health Program." Ms. Emma Jackowski, Head of Health & Physical Education, St Michal's Grammar School, Chapel Street, St Kilda, Victoria. "Gerard O'Rileyof Inner Health Solutions began to teach Pancha Tanmantra here at Geelong Grammer School because he had inspired one year eleven student in the art who asked if we could start the activity here. When it started there were about three devotees and each term this number grew. For term three, there were 15 students keen to continue in the art of Pancha Tanmantra. I have been impressed with Gerard's patience and enthusiasm for what he does and he seems to instill an air of calm to some of our troubled students." Mr. E.

"Inner Health Solutions' women's groups have enabled me to feel more connected with myself as a woman, and also to connect with other women. Deborah holds the group in a supportive, nurturing and gentle atmosphere which allowed us to share with each other at a very deep level, which, for me, healed old feelings of neglect, denial and lack of acknowledgement or appreciation, especially from the time of transition from childhood to womanhood at menarche. Since completing the course I have felt much more empowered and in touch with my creativity and strength. Deborah provided her support in such a subtle, intuitive and sensitive way that I felt able to take full responsibility for my own development and my own decisions" A. Nicholson, Musician and Holistic Health Practitioner, Carlton, Victoria "I have participated in one of Inner Health Solutions' healing groups for women with menstruation issues for the past two years and found it to be a place where I could talk openly about my experiences and feel completely understood. Deborah's clinical knowledge of the female menstrual cycle, combined with her beliefs in natural healing therapies provides an environment where female issues can be shared with emotional support, guidance and advice. She carefully prepares the healing space and the stresses of the day start to fade as soon as you walk in the the healing room. As a very busy teacher and practising artist, I found the group to be an oasis for me in the midst of a world that doesn't stop just because you are having a diffiult menstrual cycle! The group also provided wonderful emotional connections with other women who were having similar issues." J. Lombardo, Secondary School Teacher and Artist, Richmond, Victoria.
"Since being diagnosed with Endometriosis 3 years ago, the combination of counselling and spiritual healing at Inner Health Solutions has been a key element in my healing process. I feel that working with Deborah through the sessions has greatly benefitted me physically, emotionally and mentally, but most of all it has helped me to better understand the connection between the mind and the body and through this understanding I have begun to heal myself. I found through the counselling that having an impartial and compassionate person to talk to, especially at the times when I felt like giving up and self destructing, helped me to release negative energy and focus on the way forward. While the spiritual healing helped balance my body's internal energy and put me into a state of total relaxation. I highly recommend these treatments to anyone dealing wtih illness, stress and/or emotional trauma, as I have gained immense help and healing from them." A. Roy, Design Student, Auburn, Victoria. Thanks to Deborah Sheehy of Inner Health Solutions for helping me to look forward to this festive season and most importantly look forward to the new year with all hope and excitement. I am happy to say that I am now doing well mentally and physically, all the passon for life is coming back, (just a few lows, but able to cope). Thank you for being a wonderful counsellor and a wonderful natural. I am sure you will help many more women in my situation with endometriosis. Vanessa C. Catering Assistant and Artist, Moorabin, Melbourne, Victoria. "My experience in attending consultations with Deborah Sheehy of Inner Health Solutions has been amazing. The psychotherapy and spiritual healing together has improved greatly my long term symptoms of Endometriosis and Migraine. I have also found the women's group sessions very helpful adding extra support and understanding needed in my healing process. Deborah's professional approach, deep understanding and experience combined are exceptional. Karen M. Fashion Designer, Prahran, Melbourne, Victoria. I have known Deborah Sheehy for many years and first met her at the Endometriosis Society that she founded in Ireland. She was the first person who understood what I was going through and in her gentle, unobtrusive way, she guided me onto the most wonderful spiritual journey that has enriched my life ever since. For anyone in pain, despair, grief or feeling that you cannot cope, you will be placing yourself in the hands of a loving, caring and very experienced and professional counsellor when you go to Deborah for therapy. I know she will enrich your life as she has enriched mine. Patricia Scanlan, Best-selling Author of women's novels, Dublin, Ireland. Back to top "My last private consultation with Inner Health Solutions invovled a spiritual healing with Deborah Sheehy that was quite profound in terms of her being able to tap into a place very deep within me that was holding grief at the loss of a loved one. Deborah worked gently and intuitvely with me to gain an understanding of what was going on and then guided me through a healing that was appropriate for my situation. My experience left me feeling warm and nurtured - as though I had been wrapped in cotton wool. Afterward I felt refreshed and very clear - ready to face the world again. At work the next day my colleagues noiced the lightness of my being. It was as though a huge weight had been lifted." Sulastri L, Photographer and Artist, Collingwood, Victoria "Coming from a Western scientific background, I initially found the idea of spiritual healing extremely new and unknown. Having taken the leap with Deborah Sheehy at Inner Health Solutions, its hard to explain what happens, but it is definitely significant. The treatments moved me quickly into awareness of my true nature, helping me move out of habitual patterns of how I relate to the world. They have made a difference in every aspect of my life."
