About me  

​​​​

I am an experienced Mindfulness and Resilience teacher, with twenty years experience in workplace wellbeing.      I deliver in-person and online courses and workshops to Business, Education and the Voluntary sector across Belfast and beyond. 

​

I combine my clinical background as a Public Health Nurse, with training in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Yoga teaching, and ILM level 5 Coaching and Mentoring qualification. 

 

My work is based on a deep belief that mindfulness can help people respond to life with greater clarity, resilience and compassion.

 

I was born in County Clare and moved to Boston in my twenties. My training in Nursing and mindfulness made me aware of how stress and life's pressures affect people's health and wellbeing. My own experience with illness taught me just how challenging life's uncertainties can be. This personal journey inspired me to bring mindfulness to others, helping them to manage stress, illness and life's challenges with greater ease.  

​

 Over the years I have trained extensively and my approach is evidenced based, with a warm, personal and compassionate touch.​
