Speaking, Workshops & Research
Speaking, Workshops & Research Collaboration
Creating conversations that inspire meaningful change.
I translate complex health information into clear, practical insight, helping people understand their health and make meaningful changes in everyday life.
Drawing on my clinical work, research in women's health, and experience in chronic pain, nervous-system regulation and yoga, I deliver talks, workshops and educational programmes for workplaces, community groups, healthcare professionals and conferences.
My approach brings together science, practical experience and space for reflection. Sessions aim to leave people with a clearer understanding of the topic, useful strategies and achievable next steps.

Workshops
Practical learning with space to explore.
My workshops combine clear explanations with guided experiences and reflection. Depending on the topic, they may include movement, breathing practices, individual or paired exercises, and discussion.
Each workshop connects the subject with everyday life, helping participants identify what is relevant to them and what they would like to take forward.
The Inner Child
A movement-based, full-day workshop. For adults interested in understanding patterns that began earlier in life and continue to shape how they respond today. Through guided movement and reflection, we explore adaptation, unmet needs and our relationship with ourselves. The emphasis is on recognising familiar responses and developing a more compassionate way of meeting them.
Kindness at Work
For teams and organisations interested in bringing compassion into everyday working relationships. Through practical exercises and discussion, we explore stress responses, boundaries and how we relate to ourselves and others under pressure. Participants consider small, realistic ways to support a more connected and considerate workplace.
Self Care at School | University
A hybrid education and movement-based workshop exploring how stress affects the body and how to implement self-care strategies in everyday life.
Menopause as Threshold
For women navigating menopause and the questions that can accompany this stage of life. This workshop brings together menopause science, reflection and ritual to explore physical changes, identity, priorities and possibility. Participants have space to deepen their understanding and consider what they need as they move into the next stage of life.
Multidimensional Health™
For groups interested in a broader understanding of health and wellbeing. We explore how physical health, emotions, thoughts, environment and deeply held patterns can influence one another. Through education and reflection, participants consider these connections in their own lives and identify practical areas for attention.

Research
MSc Physiology, University of Galway.
My Masters in Physiology at the University of Galway evaluated a programme I developed over the past ten years and implemented a twelve-week physiotherapist-led intervention combining menopause education, yoga-based movement and behaviour-change strategies for women navigating menopause.
The mixed-methods research explored symptoms, quality of life, stress physiology, physical-health measures and women's lived experience. It demonstrated the value of a wider, person-centred and physiotherapist-led approach to menopause care — one that addresses far more than hormones in isolation.
My research interests include lifestyle medicine, menopause, stress physiology, nervous-system health, embodied practice, behaviour change, chronic pain, healthy ageing and the evolving role of physiotherapy in whole-person care.
Collaboration
I welcome opportunities to work with healthcare professionals, researchers, universities, women's networks, workplaces and community organisations.
This could involve a guest talk, a practical workshop, an educational programme or a research collaboration. I am particularly interested in work that connects clinical experience, research and people's everyday lives.
Let's discuss what you have in mind.
Tell me a little about your organisation or group, the topic you are interested in and what you would like the session or collaboration to achieve.
