Looking forward to co-facilitating The Barn Space Maynooth’s Autumn Retreat on Saturday, 10 October, from 11am–4pm.
The day offers an opportunity to step back from the busyness of everyday life, slow down and connect with like-minded people in the peaceful surroundings of The Barn Space.
Together, we will create space to pause, reflect and reset through meditation, Yin Yoga, a sound bath and guided reflection, with a nourishing lunch included.
A gentle day to rest, nurture and connect. To book you space DM directly on 087 667 2149

I’m a dynamic professional deeply committed to cultivating mindful behaviours in the workplace — behaviours that nurture psychological safety and help people flourish. As a qualified accountant who has worked across organisations at both operational and director level, I have a deep understanding of how businesses function, the fast pace of organisational life, and the very real pressures that leaders face. I’ve seen first hand how the continuous “busyness” of work can impact wellbeing when it’s not actively supported, and this experience informs everything I do.
Over the years, I played a pivotal role in shaping the Ibec KeepWell Mark, and I continue to support organisations in developing wellbeing strategies that create measurable, meaningful impact. My work centres on promoting mindful practices that strengthen engagement, resilience, and psychological safety within teams.
As an accredited Mental Health First Aid Associate with St. John of God’s Psychiatric Hospital, I am licensed to deliver both Mental Health Awareness Training and Mental Health First Aid Training. These programmes consistently highlight the essential role mindfulness plays in maintaining good mental health and emotional balance. Drawing on this expertise, I design and deliver mental health and mindfulness programmes tailored to each organisation’s culture, challenges, and goals.
Clients I have partnered with include Alkermes, Bus Éireann, FoodCloud, Ibec, the Irish Wheelchair Association, and H&MV Engineering, among others.
Mindfulness is not just part of my professional practice — it is integral to my life. I engage in continuous professional development, including supervision, and I adhere to the Mindfulness Teachers Best Practice Guidelines to ensure my work remains ethically grounded and evidence-informed.
In addition to corporate work and one-to-one support, I recently established The Barn Space in Maynooth, offering in-person mindfulness classes, community sessions, and restorative retreats.
If you’re exploring ways to embed mindful behaviours within your team — to enhance psychological safety, resilience, and overall wellbeing — I’d be delighted to support you. For more information click here.
