**Why did I take the leap and start my business?** Back in 2025 I moved back from Abu Dhabi where I had what many would consider the “dream life”. Great pals, a great job, got married and we had our first child. But it wasn’t home…it was time to come back.
At first I was delighted to be home, but I was a bit lost…I came back to a place where my pals had moved away. My driver’s licence didn’t work over here so I was stuck. I went from running a PE department in a school to working in the local supermarket. Not to knock the job but it wasn’t where I thought I’d be…
I retired from rugby and completely threw myself into running in an attempt to find my competitive edge. I was obsessed…5/6 runs a week…21km every Sunday…running came first….I knew it was borderline unhealthy- then I got injured…I realised I needed to put my energy somewhere else. I had moved to an office job but I still knew I needed something else. So I took the leap and decided to set up in Banagher! Let’s take a look at some of the key moments from my first 6 months!
Finding my office in the Crank House and moving my first equipment in!
Covering my first matches for St. Rynaghs.
Ready to open! Getting my treatment room into shape for my first few clients.
Doing a job that Síofra is interested in, and she can watch her Daddy 😊
Filming goofy reels wondering if i was doing more bad than good 😅
Traveling all over the midlands during the lovely summer covering some great games.
Having a laugh with George and helping to show him a few things!
Helping Daddy “tidy up”.
taking in my endless clinic supplies.
Creating a space I’m proud of.
Testing 60 people on the Muscle Meter at the Banagher Market and getting my name out there.
