HI, I'M NIAMH

I am the founder of Anchor Wellness.

My passion for helping others stems from a soul-searching journey of self-discovery that I have taken over the last 10+ years.

So many people go through life surviving day to day. I was once one of those people, but there is so much more out there for all of us, so much for us to see, do and experience.

But we live in a society where busyness and instant gratification are the norms. And with that comes so much stress, overwhelm and negative health consequences.

But I am here to show you that health and happiness are achievable. I am here to show you that you can achieve new levels of physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing. I am here to show you that with small, consistent action, you can elevate your health and happiness, you can release the stress and overwhelm from your life and start living the life of your dreams.

Join me on a journey of self-discovery, health and happiness.

MY STORY

My name is Niamh, I am Irish, in my 30s. It’s taken me a long time to get to a place where I feel like the healthiest and happiest version of myself, but today I can put my hand firmly on my heart and say that I am here. I am healthy and I am happy.

I grew up not really knowing who I was or what I wanted to do in life. I spent most of my teens and 20s unhappy and feeling stuck. It took a lot of twists and turns, tons of trying out new things, and even more life experiences, to get me to where I am today.

I am a trauma-informed & Polyvagal-informed Wellness Coach. I have a range of qualifications including a certified Mind-Body Practitioner, Somatic Stress Release Practitioner, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Personal Trainer, Women's Coaching Specialist, Early Years Educator and Journalist. I also have a Professional Diploma in Positive Health, a Certificate in Nutrition and I am currently training to be a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.

My passion in life is to help people reach new levels of physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing. I do this through nervous system regulation, releasing stress from the body, helping you build more capacity and resilience, strengthen boundaries, and improve all areas of your lifestyle, which will have a positive knock-on effect on all areas of your life.
