Like many complementary therapists, my journey into hypnotherapy started with my own experiences. After decades of working in health and social care and experiences during Covid, I hit burnout —constantly giving to others but never really stopping to look after myself. That’s when I discovered mindfulness and hypnosis, and they became life-changing tools in helping me rebalance, rebuild resilience, and create a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I live on the coast just outside Belfast and feel most at home by the sea. Whether it’s walking the coastal path, cold-water swimming in Belfast Lough, or paddleboarding, being in nature is my way to reset and reconnect. Right now, I’m converting a van into a campervan so I can explore more of Ireland’s stunning coastline, chasing new adventures or simply relaxing and taking it all in. 

I also love dressmaking, knitting, and spending time with friends and family —all the little things that bring me joy and balance.

I can also be found volunteering at the Cancer Centre at Belfast City Hospital, something I find deeply rewarding.
