I studied Sports and Human Rehabilitation BSc (Hons) in Carlow IT. During my final semester of college I saw first hand the benefits of Pilates so once I finished in Carlow IT, I went on and studied to be a Pilates instructor. This was a huge stepping stone in finding out what direction I wanted go and specialise in. I continued with my Reformer Training and I am on regular training and workshops to keep up to date with latest research.
Since starting my own family, my interest and education has grown in Pre and Post Natal Pilates. From my experience I really feel the benefits of my Pilates and I want to serve others who are going through these stages with as much information as they need.
Growing up I was always involved in sport and fitness, as a qualified fitness instructor it has helped me in my practice for prescribing rehabilitation programs to clients along with being able to do my job to full potential.
I have recently finished a Level 8 Bsc Degree in Sports Injury Therapy in Dublin along with my Reformer Pilates course, which I've found a new love for. I am also a qualified Personal Trainer.
Sport is a big passion in my life and I have been involved in it my whole life. I have been assisting the Athletic Therapist for the Clare Senior Football Team for the 20/21 season. Along with being a passionate member of the Clare Ladies Intermediate Football Team.
Over the last 2 years I have struggled with lower back pain & sciatica, I tried so many different methods but the one thing above all that I found helped me was movement and in particular Pilates. This is wear my grá for pilates began. I truly believe that exercise is medicine & I am extremely passionate about researching & learning how to prevent injuries.
