Well Aware

18/08/2026

Wow, these last few weeks completely flew!

I’ve absolutely loved delivering 𝘈 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘔𝘪𝘥𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 this summer with the brilliant NICHE Health Project Cork.

Over the six weeks we explored everything from our relationship with our bodies and thoughts to rest and energy and how a little more awareness and kindness can help us meet some of the changes and challenges of menopause.

There were lots of honest conversation, thoughtful insights, a good few laughs and more than a few cups of lemon verbena tea along the way!

A big thank you to NICHE for inviting me in and all the women who showed up and made this course what it was 🫶

It's open to debate 😅

I've had a bad chest infection since my brother's wedding last week (thankfully it started after) so meditating hasn't been much fun.

I usually use my breath as something to bring my attention back to whenever I notice my mind has wandered. But when you're coughing and struggling to breathe in the first place that's easier said than done.

So this week I've been experimenting with using different "anchors" (I love that name) and I've been really enjoying:

💭 Watching for the moment thoughts first appear and seeing if I can "catch" them
🫀Tuning into the sound and feel of my heartbeat
👂 Listening to birdsong and sounds coming through the window
🤲 Slowly opening and closing my hands and noticing those sensations
🪨 Feeling the weight and texture of a pebble in my hand

Do you have any other suggestions for me?

The last one has been my favourite so far. I might have to treat myself to a proper touch stone...or maybe make one?

Lots of people actually find the breath hard to focus on for one reason or another so I hope these ideas are helpful if you're ever in that boat.

Pure Irish energy on show right there.

I don’t know what to do with myself on Monday nights now that the Bodyscan & Breathwork course has come to an end 😅

So much goes into a course like this so I thought I'd share a little look behind the scenes at the bits and pieces that help bring it all to life.

Feels a bit surreal seeing my name in print 🤭

I was asked to share a bit about what mindfulness actually looks like in normal life and the class I'm running in for the Spring 2026 Bishopstown News.

I’m so glad I went to this - and really grateful to my Dad for coming along too.

There was something really special about being in a room full of people who care about creating spaces like this. Delighted to be part of it.
