About Robbie Sheahan
I create spaces for embodiment, growth, and self-discovery-from one-on-one sessions to workshops, events, and group facilitation. My work blends Somatic Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, and Mentoring, supporting you to move, feel, and connect more deeply with your body, your mind, and your own wisdom.
I am a Somatic Therapist, Bodyworker and Facilitator.
I work online with clients worldwide and in person in Barcelona and Castelldefels, offering Somatic Therapy (Hakomi), Craniosacral Therapy, and Mentoring. Beyond individual sessions, I facilitate workshops and group events, blending meditation, movement, and shamanic-inspired practices to invite presence, embodiment, and self-discovery.
Robbie’s Approach
My work is rooted in the body’s natural intelligence and its capacity to restore balance when there is space, attention, and care.
Rather than trying to fix or force change, we begin with gentle awareness. Together, we slow down, listen deeply, and notice what is already unfolding beneath the surface.
As we explore the mind–body connection, we begin to see how beliefs, thoughts, and memories shape patterns of tension or holding within the body. With curiosity and compassion, these patterns can soften.
Drawing from Hakomi therapy, parts work, and integrative somatic practices, I guide a process of softening tension held in the body and gently letting go of beliefs that no longer serve, allowing space to reconnect with what feels alive and true.
When we cultivate a witnessing presence - an inner observer - more space and possibility emerge. From here, we are able to embody more of who we are and live with greater presence, depth, and authenticity.

My Path and Training
My journey into the healing arts began over 15 years ago. Originally from Cork, Ireland, my path eventually brought me to Barcelona. Through meditation and yoga, what started as a personal exploration gradually became a deep commitment to understanding the relationship between body, awareness, and inner transformation.
Over time, this curiosity led me into bodywork. I trained as a massage therapist and spent many years working directly with the body - learning how it holds tension, adapts, protects, and softens when met with presence and care.
Wanting to go deeper into the psychological and relational aspects of healing, I trained in Hakomi Therapy, a mindfulness-based somatic approach that continues to shape my work today. Alongside this, I completed my training in Craniosacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute, which expanded my understanding of the nervous system and the subtle rhythms of the body.
I have also done workshops and trainings in Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, expanding my awareness of how the body and psyche communicate, and exploring new ways to support embodied healing.
My work is also inspired by Jungian and archetypal psychology - an interest in symbols, patterns, and the narratives that shape our inner lives - bringing reflection, imagination, and meaning into felt sense experience.
While these trainings inform my practice, more than techniques it is years of listening - to clients, to the body, and to my own inner process - that have truly refined how I work.
Interests and Inspirations
My work is inspired and nourished by the natural world and a deep love for plants, animals, and the rhythms of the earth. With a background in horticulture and permaculture, I see the same wisdom, adaptability, and flow in nature as I do in the body, and this continues to guide the way I work.
I am also deeply passionate about somatic-based meditation and movement practices. Over the past 15 years, I have explored Buddhist and Tibetan meditation traditions, integrating these practices into our modern life and weaving them into the spaces I create for others.
Story of Body & Wisdom
In 2016, while living in Dublin, I founded Body & Wisdom. The name reflects the union of Body - our connection to the earth, to grounded presence - and Wisdom - the clarity, insight, and our inner knowing. This integration invites a way of being in which spirit and body move together, alive, receptive, and whole.

“I love Robbie's work. His capacity to listen deeply to the human body is finely tuned. He's one of the best somatic practitioners I've encountered. Sitting in his presence organically open's up space where I can listen to and be with the truth of my body and it's inherent wisdom. There's a grace that accompanies this work that is rare to find.”
