Floatation and trauma expert Vivian McKinnon set up Hydro-ease: Northern Irelands only dedicated floatation centre in September 2015.
She established the business in response to her own traumatic experiences and a passion for helping people move away from pain and towards a life of fulfilment.
Qualified and experienced in many therapeutic approaches and currently studying with Dr Gabor Mate, Vivian has crafted her own exclusive and eclectic approach to recovery, RAFT (Reconnection and Floatation Therapy) to assist others by guiding and inspiring them to use the skills and tools in the life they have to create the life they desire.
Vivian’s experience as a unique and dynamic therapist spans over three decades. It’s her core belief ‘there is magic within us all’.
Through her own process of post-traumatic growth, Vivian is thriving and living out her mission of ‘healing the world, one float at a time.’
In this episode we talk about:
- Her involvement in cloning 'Dolly The Sheep'
- Childhood trauma
- Addiction
- How she discovered floating (sensory deprivation tanks)
- And why she’s dedicated this season of her life to setting up Ireland’s first Float Tank Centre
