From High Performance to InnerShift
For years, I lived in a world of relentless pace and high expectations.
I worked in innovation and leadership at the highest levels as a founder, a Chief Strategy Officer, and a driver of ambitious change. I thrived on building, leading, and creating impact.
But beneath the polished surface, I was burning out.
The pressure that once energised me began to erode my clarity. I ignored the signals exhaustion, physical symptoms, a mind that wouldn’t quiet. Eventually, my body and my nervous system made the decision I had been avoiding: STOP.
That moment of collapse became the doorway to something far more powerful my InnerShift.
This work is not about becoming someone new — it’s about coming home to yourself.

A New Way of Leading — From Within
My healing journey wasn’t about finding a quick fix. It was about slowing down, listening inward, and learning how to meet life differently.
Through daily meditation, nervous system regulation, and trauma integration work, I moved from survival mode to a way of living that’s grounded, clear, and steady.
Today, I help others do the same.
I work with leaders and professionals who carry quiet weight — the stress, pressure, and emotional load that often comes with responsibility. My role is to create a safe, grounded space where what feels heavy becomes movable again, and clarity naturally emerges.
This is about moving past fear, anxiety and emotions that slow you down and making decisions with clarity and authenticity.
It’s about learning how to come home to yourself.
Professional Background
Before founding InnerShift, my career spanned nearly two decades of leadership and innovation. I’ve:
Served as Chief Strategy Officer at EpiSensor, leading business strategy and global growth.
Founder ThoughtBox, reaching over 1M downloads in 57 countries and winning multiple international awards.
Held leadership roles with InnerSource Commons, Singlepoint, and other innovation-focused organizations.
Been recognized among Ireland’s Top 30 under 30 and Top 100 Women in STEM.
I understand the reality of high-pressure environments because I’ve lived them and I know what it takes to step out of them without losing yourself.
What I believe
✨
Burnout is not a failure, it’s a signal.
🌿
Real clarity begins when we pause and turn inward.
🪷
True change happens in spaces that feel safe, not rushed.
