About

Hello you!

I’m from Ireland, but living in England since 2018 with my hubbie and our two little girls.

After taking voluntary redundancy from the corporate world in 2013 – I changed path and followed my desire to study in the Health and Social Care field after many years of volunteering for charities.  I completed my finals when my first born was 13 months. It was full on but I managed and learned so much about discipline/self-belief during that time.

Throughout my studies I worked part-time in Community Outreach for Crosscare Ireland. My role was helping individuals who felt lonely and isolated to move forward within the community. It was a space to build on their confidence in a supportive, calm and encouraging environment, through coffee mornings, workshops and project work.

I feel so passionate about helping others to reach their full pottential, and it’s empowering to see the difference from each individual after every coaching session or group work I facilitate.

Creative outlet

I enjoy writing, sketching and have written articles for wellbeing magazines – sharing my own tips/experiences on confidence, anxiety and stress. You’ll also see some of my published poetry dotted throughout my blog too.

I’ve so much belief in writing as a creative outlet. The benefits to your mental wellbeing from putting pen to paper when you let those creative juices take over. It really helps to release all that stress/overwhelm. Try it out, you’d be surprised at how cathartic it can be!

Travelling and my adventurous side!

In the early 2000’s I was big into backpacking. Experiencing new cultures and learning about different ways of life has always been an interest of mine (my closest friends were met through backpacking).

I’ve travelled all over Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South Pacific, America and South America. Getting that backpack out and exploring; made me really grow as an individual. The adventurous side of me was fond of the auld bungee jumping, sky diving, snorkeling, scuba diving and skiing! I’ve also ran 2 marathons.

Talk about jumping way out of my comfort zone!!

Blast of fresh air and connecting with nature

Who doesn’t love a good blast of fresh air surrounded by nature to blow away those cobwebs? Spending time outdoors with my family is so important: It’s free and a great way to release any stress, especially when you tune into your surroundings by using your 5 senses (what you see, hear, feel, taste and smell).

Go out and explore

Enjoy the present moment

And being still

There you go. That’s me in a nutshell, and I look forward to hearing more about you!

Believe in yourself and your capabilities as you deserve to feel happier, confident and to thrive in life.

Love

Bernie xx
