Hello & Welcome!
Your interest in Mindfulness, coaching, and spiritual well-being most probably led you here, so here is a little about me.
I am a Mindfulness Teacher & Spiritual Wellbeing Coach.
Based in Gorey, Co. Wexford, much of my practice also takes place online, and I hold in-person sessions for clients closer to home.
Mindfulness Teaching & Practice
“Mindfulness is the awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgementally” – Jon Kabat-Zinn.
I am a fully qualified Mindfulness Teacher with a Master of Science in Mindfulness-based Well-being from University College Cork (UCC). I am qualified to teach the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Programme (MBSR).
As a mindfulness instructor, I help you deepen awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. I effectively help you identify unhelpful patterns that cause unnecessary stress, worry, rumination, and catastrophising. In this way, mindfulness enables you to learn how to respond to stress and stressful situations more skillfully and create new habits that align with your values.
My mindfulness programs strongly focus on compassion and self-compassion. Therefore, the training supports improving your relationships and others.
All mindfulness programs are in a group format and devised around evidence-based research.
Who I teach mindfulness-based programs to:
Corporate sector: A growing body of evidence supports the hypothesis that mindfulness positively increases resilience and well-being and reduces organisational stress.
Community Development: I am on the Tutor Panel of the Dublin Dun Laoghaire Education and Training Board (DDLETB) and Wexford Waterford Education and Training Boards (WWETB) in the Community Development Sector, where I teach Mindfulness and well-being to the DDLETB & WWETB Group Partners.
With extensive, evidence-based training in workplace well-being, My “Working with Well-being” programs address your organisation’s needs and help create and sustain a healthy workplace community. All programs are tailored to your organisation, so get in touch to discuss how we can create a flourishing workplace community.
General Public I teach regular mindfulness classes and MBSR training programs in Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin and online over Zoom. If you want to book your place on my upcoming mindfulness training programmes, contact me.
This diverse role involves working with people living with anxiety, stress, chronic pain, disability, burnout, and marginalization. I am tremendously grateful for it, and I learn as much from the participants as they learn from me.
Mindfulness Coach of the Year, 2022 – The Irish Business Awards.
Why choose me as your Mindfulness Teacher and Spiritual Wellbeing Coach?
There are many teachers and coaches out there, and I believe finding the right coach for you is a fundamental step along your progressive journey.
I have held my Spiritual Wellbeing Practice since 1999 and have helped thousands of clients find inner strength and peace of mind. I have a global client base and am experienced and trained to help you find peace and build sustainable psychological well-being. I take a person-centred approach, helping you build a solid foundation of meaning and value and then helping you identify the pathways that support your psychological and spiritual strength.
Here are some reasons why clients recruit my help:
Spiritual and Psychological Support
Life and change go hand in hand. However, facing change can be challenging, especially when it means finding and redefining our identity and how we see our place in the world. Through this process, I support you in finding clarity regarding who you are, certainty around your next steps, inner calm amid the storms, and awareness of what you can control and what you can’t.
There are many reasons why people request my help, but the following offers an overarching view:
- Build resilience and skilful responses to stress, burnout and overwhelm.
- Find a new sense of self after a significant life change – for example, loss & bereavement, becoming a parent, menopause, empty nest syndrome, divorce and relationship breakdown.
- Overcome anxiety.
- Build confidence and self-belief.
- Explore spiritual connection and how it relates to one’s life.
