Testimonials: Yoga Classes and Personal Menopause Support

“I made a decision to have some one to one sessions with Niamh because I felt I
needed to take a different approach to my yoga practice and my overall health. I am in my late fifties
so menopause symptoms have been a major part of my life and that combined with a serious break
from a fall, caused me to rethink how I approach my overall health and well-being.
Niamh’s approach has been of enormous benefit to me. With simple, small, practical changes to my
diet I quickly saw results. Her very practical but highly experienced approach to my yoga practice has
allowed me to develop an enjoyment in my home practice that has not been there for some time.
Niamh’s courage in challenging the, often times , sweeping claims of the current yoga for
menopause teachings, makes her, in my personal opinion a genuine, authentic practitioner. I have
been involved in holist health and yoga therapy for over thirty years, I am truly grateful to find
someone who is so authentic and genuinely passionate about women’s self-care. I absolutely highly
recommend anyone who needs some help with their own well-being to book some time with Niamh.”
Andrea Norton, yoga teacher/student and holistic educator, Carlow

“You create so many AHA moments in my practice and body-mind connection dearest Niamh, you are a STUNNING teacher.”  Lisa Pauley, Yoga Teacher and student

“Thank you so much for the retreat on Saturday, I really enjoyed it and felt great afterwards.  I was looking at the notes I took just there and there were so many sides to this.  I’m going to try and make the menopause loaf soon…..  The full spectrum approach was really good.” Marion Mac Feely, Switzerland

“I found the course to be wonderful. It was both informative and reassuring. I was especially taken with how you both were confident and reassuring with the information you provided but also encouraging and insistent on the importance of seeking medical advice around our symptoms. I don’t know exactly how to explain how useful this was but it made everything seem more sincere and beneficial.” Donna Marie, Donegal (participant at the Nutrition and Yoga Series)

“Niamh is a fantastic teacher, very warm, knowledgeable and generous with her teaching. I just did the mini menopause retreat and it was wonderful. I felt great after the practices we did and empowered with the information given to make some really positive changes in my life. I will definitely study with Niamh again and highly recommend her.” Louise Weinzweig, Ireland

I really came away feeling empowered and I thank you for giving me that gift.” Michelle Davis, Dublin

It was a relief to have a consultation with her. I was able to talk frankly and openly about body changes, and I felt listened to and validated. I came out with a positive attitude and some very practical tools to sustain my body in the changing times. Having access to one of her Facebook groups, I have lots of classes that are targeted to moving the body in a    gentle and nourishing way.” Lucia Bonazzelli, Dublin
