#FEELGOOD

After graduating from UCD I moved to Paris to live out my dreams!

I partied too hard, and became really unhealthy. At one point I was 3 stone over weight, and started to get really anxious and stressed.

Panic attacks became a regular occurrence, and eventually I had a full breakdown.

My life was in tatters.

I moved to Galway to try to piece my life together, and while working as a waitress in Fat Freddies on Quay street, I decided I needed to lose weight

Many unsuccessful attempts later, I tried Weight Watchers, Slimming world, calorie counting, and I hated it. It made me feel worse.

I felt like a failure stuck in a vicious cycle of weight gain and weight loss.

It all felt so negative. One day, a friend at Fat Freddies, invited me along for a run, so I went along. And it transformed my life forever.

I fell in love with feeling good, and working towards feeling good and getting healthy, not watching the scales. I completely over-hauled my life, and I loved it so much,

I decide to qualify as a Personal trainer and study how the habits we have on a daily basis, effect our lives so much.

I became a full time Personal Trainer and started my business, Inspire Fitness. I’ve grown it from just me, to now a team of six.

We empower women and help them feel really good about themselves, that’s how The Feelgood Coach name came about.

I got married, had two kids, and kept growing the business. While pregnant with Emily, my second, we grew so fast, we had to re-locate to the Tuam rd, from Barna.

Delays in the building work, and nothing going to plan, saw me back at work, 5 weeks after Emily was born.

That brought on post-natal depression.It took a good year and a half to get back to feeling great again, and that time has really made me appreciate how important it is to look after you, and to get the balance right.

Inspire Fitness has now gone from strength to strength and we’ve helped 1,000’s of women, get fit healthy, and to a place that they feel great and can at least begin to love themselves.
