I didn't set out to be a hypnotherapist. In 2004 I was in London, freshly out of an 11-year career with Waitrose John Lewis, scanning job listings with my English Literature degree and absolutely no idea what came next. Then an ad for a hypnotherapy training course caught my eye, one I'd actually enquired about five years earlier and walked away from. This time, I didn't walk away.

By lunchtime on the very first day of training, I was on the phone to my mum: "This is it, Mum. This is what I'm going to do."

I qualified, built a practice in London, and at the end of 2006 I moved to the west of Ireland, where my Mum was from, and where a life I hadn't quite imagined yet was waiting for me. I started again, setting up my practice in a holistic centre in Castlebar, and things were great. I won't bore you too much here with all the life events, good and bad, but 10 years later in 2016 I opened the first and only hypnotherapy training school in Connaght. I trained practitioners, supervised them, and kept adding to my own qualifications — because that's what you do when you genuinely love this work.

But in 2014, something shifted everything again. I completed a training in BrainWorking Recursive Therapy (BWRT) and it was so different to everything I knew, that I shelved it for a while. Then the results practitioners were reporting became impossible to ignore. I started using it with my own clients.

Everything changed!

People began seeking me out specifically for BWRT. My practice grew faster than I could keep up with. The results — with trauma, phobias, anxiety, confidence, addictive behaviours, grief, performance — were unlike anything I'd seen in over a decade of practice.

Today I use BWRT in most of my client sessions, and I was the only BWRT Trainer in Ireland from 2016-2025, teaching other practitioners how to use this amazing technique. I supervise other practitioners in it, worldwide.

Over 21 years, thousands of clients, and I'm still as fascinated by the human mind as I was as a child.
