Walmer College & Holistic Centre

The Walmer College and Holistic Centre operates as a teaching therapy centre promoting personal
growth and development through the holistic approach to living. The college was founded in 1989 in
response to the steadily growing public demand for professional training in the area of
complementary medicine. The changing attitudes in health care and the increasing trend towards
the use of natural therapies are reflected by the success of the college to date.

Situated in River House, an elegant building in the heart of Raheny village, the college provides an
ideal setting in which to pursue a new and exciting career. River House is situated less than 2
minutes walk from the Raheny Dart station. We are proud to announce that we have expanded our
college and clinic.

The college is based on the principle of working with body mind and spirit in a safe and gentle
atmosphere. The holistic approach doesn’t discourage taking pharmaceuticals but in the words of
the clinics chiropractor ‘the greatest drugstore in the world is your own body’. It has the power to
manufacture every drug or chemical you need in order to function in a healthy manner. Your body is
manufacturing insulin, cortisone, adrenaline, histamines, antibiotics, laxatives and mood-changing
drugs. It is a matter of restoring the body’s natural balance.

Students will be assessed continuously through the course both on weekly written homework,
practical work and completion of folders for each subject. Walmer college encourage all graduates
to engage in continued professional development in the form of completion of additional diplomas or
workshops to enhance skills and personal development.

The course provides a solid base for the further study of complementary therapies and has many
post graduate courses on offer. We also have Therapy related workshops like 'Expand your strokes'
on offer to enable you to enhance your skills. The centre provides ongoing evening classes and
workshops on related topics.
