With a primary degree in Philosophy and Theology, Dee is a specialist in Mindful Leadership (knowing how to regulate ourselves as we support others). Dee helps over busy, 21st century humans to deepen their capacity to pause, to rest, and to prevent or recover from burnout, and so to blossom - to come home to calm and equanimity.

Many years ago, Dee herself experienced burnout as a committed, passionate professional, who understood little about real resilience and self-care. Further exploration in Philosophy, Eastern and Western Wisdom Traditions, and in particular Celtic Spirituality, has informed Dee's evidence-based perspective on the universe that offers a way to integrate scientific, spiritual, personal, and cultural viewpoints into a meaningful whole.

In more recent years Dee completed an MSc in Mindfulness-Based Interventions, and further specialist post graduate training in Spiritual Companioning, Wisdom Supervision & Trauma Informed Online Facilitation.

Dee is the founder of two unique gold standard programmes, Compassionate Leadership which is something of an inner MBA for individuals, teams and whole organisations, and The Blossom Collective, for women who want to develop exquisite self-care and resilient leadership skills.

It is Dee's delight to share simple evidence-based practices from nature, neuroscience and mindfulness, reminding us that we are human beings, not just human doings, and that we are made for ease, peace, joy and connection whatever the circumstances in our lives.

Dee loves that her work in the world invites her clients to experience the reality that "we are all just walking each other home."

Dee has supported hundreds of women to date to manage stress and overwhelm and to build real resilience with evidence based, simple transformative actions from her unique coaching approach. Dee is a full member of Supervisors Association of Ireland ( SAI) and Mindfulness Teachers Association of Ireland (MTAI), and Anamcharadas Ireland ( Anamcharadastraining). Dee is also a board member of both the All Ireland Spiritual Guides Association (AISGA), and Kilkenny Volunteer Centre.
