My lifelong passion for health, fitness, and wellbeing began with rugby, self-defence, and marathon running. This continues today through walking, swimming, and weightlifting.

​

Over the years, I’ve come to understand that sustainable fitness isn’t about intensity, but about adapting smartly to our changing needs. This inspired me to study Educational Fitness and Health at the University of Limerick in 2008, where I learned that one size doesn’t fit all, yet everyone can do something to stay strong, mobile, and well.

​

I later trained in massage and sports injury therapy at the University of Galway. It was there I was introduced to acupuncture, and after seeing its potential, I completed a four-year qualification in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture (Lic. Ac. TCM). Today, I integrate this with my clinic work to treat a broad range of conditions naturally and holistically.

​

I’ve worked with top-level athletes - from Connacht Rugby and Wolverhampton FC to professional boxers at Madison Square Garden - and I now channel that experience into helping people over 40, especially active retirees, stay fit, balanced, and independent through movement classes and personalised support.

​

I’m also fully qualified in sports massage therapy (ITEC), personal training (NCEF), affiliated with Age & Opportunity, and all treatments are eligible for reimbursement through major health insurers such as VHI, Laya Healthcare, and Irish Life Health.

A special thanks to my wife, Trish, who is also a qualified yoga and chair exercise instructor since 2015, and has been a continued source of inspiration.
