ABOUT ME

Hi there! I'm Colette an energetic 49-year-old navigating life with a passion for holistic well-being. My journey began in IT in the corporate world, spanning nearly two decades, before a gentle nudge set me on a different path - a path into fitness and holistic health.

In 2006, I immersed myself in a part-time fitness course, earning credentials from NCEHS. What started as a quest to train smarter and more efficiently myself, evolved into teaching Interval Training classes to my colleagues during the week and calming Yin Yoga sessions on Fridays.

For years, I had the pleasure of teaching Yin Yoga at River Holistic in Raheny, building a community that thrived on shared calm. When the world locked down, I seamlessly transitioned to online platforms, continuing to inspire movement and mindfulness.

My connection to holistic healing reaches back to my childhood. Watching a Reflexologist ease my mum’s pain during her own cancer journey had a profound impact on me. Inspired, I qualified as a Reflexologist in 2014 and went on to volunteer with ARC Cancer Care for some time after.  In the last couple of years, I have moved my Reflexology practice to my home.

In 2018, life threw me an unexpected curveball when I discovered a lump in my right breast. The initial shock turned into a journey to recovery. Six years later, I stand cancer-free and immensely grateful. The experience deepened my commitment to a balanced approach to wellness - one that nourishes both body and soul. As I like to say, "If you don’t make time for your wellness, you may be forced to make time for your illness."

I now offer early morning online classes designed to support whole-body wellness. Each week, you'll find two sessions of weight training, two high-energy HIIT classes, and a mid-week session dedicated to pranayama, meditation, and yoga. It's a balanced weekly routine that nourishes strength, endurance, and mindfulness—all before breakfast!"

For the past couple of years, I’ve had the privilege of working with DCC, where I offer a variety of classes to local community groups. I teach a range of classes for older adults, including chair yoga, chair fitness, and full-body exercise classes, all designed to support strength, flexibility, and well-being. These sessions have quickly become very popular, creating a vibrant and welcoming community. It’s truly heartening to witness the positive impact holistic practices can have on their lives. I firmly believe, ‘It’s not about how long we live, but how well we live.'

Welcome to my space—a platform where I share insights on yoga, HIIT, workshops, reflexology, Doterra oils, natural products, and reflections on my journey with cancer. Join me on the path to balance and holistic health.
