Meet Niamh

Welcome to my world! I'm a mom of three energetic children and the wife of a modern-day adventurer.

My journey into self-care through yoga and nature began amidst the beautiful surroundings of my home. While juggling the demands of life, kids, and work, I found solace in the calming embrace of yoga and the rejuvenating power of nature—forests, wooded areas, and coastal landscapes have always drawn me in.

As someone with a background in Human Resources and Leadership, the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of self-care. Working from home while pregnant, homeschooling, and pursuing further education left me feeling stressed and anxious. It was then that I realized the truth of the saying, "you can't pour from an empty cup."

Returning to self-care became my priority. I immersed myself in yoga teacher training and discovered the profound benefits of connecting with nature through forest bathing (Shinrin-Yoku). This transformative experience deepened my mindfulness and reignited my passion for the outdoors.

I'm thrilled to guide others on a journey of internal focus, self-discovery, and nature connection. Witnessing the positive impact on individuals' lives and overall balance is incredibly rewarding. Join me in exploring the transformative power of yoga, mindfulness, and nature connection. Together, let's embark on a journey that nurtures the soul and uplifts the spirit.

Welcome to a space where self-care and nature converge to create lasting wellness and joy!

 

 

FOREST BATHING

Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) originated in Japan in the 1980's as a green prescription for individuals to reduce stress. The effects of bathing the senses in nature can improve health and wellbeing by reducing the symptoms of stress and anxiety. Reconnecting with the earth, feeling grounded and using the senses to explore the sensations of rain on your face, moss under your fingertips, the smell of the forest after the rain, the smell of wildflowers, texture of bark and noticing the raw beauty of the forest and all it has to offer, will allow you to walk away feeling present, grounded, calm and reconnected to both yourself and nature.
