This article in the Irish Independent details how the stress of my corporate career led me to change career, setting up first in Psychotherapy, then Psychology and later founding the Irish, British and Australian Mindfulness Academies.

From someone who experienced stress and burnout first-hand I've been able to fully understand corporate pressures, and deliver highly beneficial, Mindfulness at Work courses to many leading organisations in Ireland.
