Early Days
I was born and raised in the small country village of Rostellan in East Cork, a place with real heart and community spirit.
I was a happy vibrant young girl, very fortunate to be surrounded by a loving family, friends, nature, farm land, and an inner friendship with the Divine that like so many people, I naturally enjoyed in my heart.
I loved participating in the richness of our Irish culture, dance, language, sport, and music, and I was privileged to represent Cork in ladies football in my youth.
Self Empowerment + Holistic Wellbeing
Like far too many young people, my empowerment journey experienced a temporary set-back through experiencing a trauma which was non domestic and non partner related.
Over the course of my life since, I came to understand that we each carry some trauma, and when this is unattended to it can bind our life energy, limit our potential, and affect how we relate to ourselves, each other, and to the Divine.
I became passionate about whole person approaches to wellbeing and empowerment, and over the last 13+ years I’ve been blessed to study with many of the world’s well known mind-body health thought leaders, mindfulness leaders, somatic experts, spiritual/faith leaders, transformational healers, and high performance coaches which continues to inform my work.
My passion is supporting people, just like you, to reconnect with your true life force, joy, meaning and wellbeing. I draw on my training as an advanced professional coach with neuroscience, stott pilates instructor, personal trainer, natural energy facilitator, and massage therapist.
As a contemplative I honour the intraconnection of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, and I also complete continued professional development in mindfulness somatics, jungian studies, and embodied transformation to truly offer my clients an holistic approach.
Professional coaching is not a substitute for therapy, I have protocols in place to ensure we don’t move into that space. As a coach I help you cultivate spiritual and self empowerment, and holistic wellbeing, to guide you closer to the outcomes you want to experience in your life.
Career Change Consultancy
During a trip to Peru in 2012 I witnessed first-hand the realities of the social inequalities present in our world, and I made a commitment to myself that my career would be part of the solution.
I went on to serve as a senior recruitment management consultant in some of the world’s well known human rights, humanitarian, and United Nations launched organisations.
In 2021 I founded Croíadh – a right livelihood career change consultancy to help executives and professionals to navigate the most common stages of values driven career change.
I continue to serve the social purpose and NGO sector as a senior consultant and executive coach.
Life Purpose Awakening
I’m persuaded we each came here with a unique calling to serve the earth and humanity at this extraordinary moment in time.
My coaching passion is to help you to accelerate your empowerment journey and catalyse into meaningful compassionate service action.
I also offer changemakers coaching on the practicalities of conscious leadership, vision holding, project management, and project planning to help accelerate your service work in the world.
I work with people of all spiritual and faith backgrounds, and none.
Climate Action and Peacemaking
As a literary artist I’m passionate about peaceful approaches to climate action, culture regeneration and social change.
In May 2021 I wrote a poem called Caoimhes Mindful Pause which initiated a national native tree planting collaboration with Ireland’s largest cultural sporting organisation, the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).
I guided our community to introduce two peacemaking initiatives into the GAA Green Clubs Programme’s 100,000 native tree planing and growing projects in 2022-2023, in a way that aligned with the United Nations resolution of ‘Harmony with Nature.’
This included our first thanksgiving ceremony offered in respect and appreciation of the Earth, and presented the 100,000 native trees our communities planted as an offering to restore harmony, reciprocity and peace in our relationship with Nature.
Contemplation and Action
I’m a contemplative who has been balancing a life of meditation, spiritual/faith practice, mindfulness, right livelihood career, retreat, and community action for over a decade.
I facilitate meditation circles, retreats, and interspiritual gatherings for peace in my community.
I love living here in County Mayo, in the heart of Ireland’s wild and beautiful landscape.
" May I have the courage today to live the life that I would love, to postpone my dream no longer, but do at last what I came here for and waste my heart on fear no more. " John O' Donohue
