ABOUT ME
I'm here to help women and couples to have thriving and fulfilling sex lives and relationships.
Helping people has been a passion of mine since I was young. I have brought this passion to life in Sexplore with Shay and I hope to inspire and help as many people as I can.
My Story
I've always been fascinated by sex, intimacy, and relationships. My fascination with sex grew from a young age, especially as I was raised in the conservative culture of Catholic Ireland, where the topic was very taboo.
Even from a young age, I recognised the shortcomings in our sex education. The girls were only taught about not having sex before marriage and using tampons - there was no discussion of female pleasure. We were instructed solely on the reproductive functions of our bodies, with no other education. Meanwhile, the boys at least were taught about masturbation, and how it was completely normal for them. I remember thinking, "Why aren't we a part of this conversation?" This frustration fueled my lifelong interest in female pleasure and desire.
I became the go-to person among my friends for advice on sex and intimacy. I loved openly talking about masturbation and pleasure. I knew these conversations were important - we are important, and we will be central to the pleasure narrative.
It wasn't until after a toxic relationship in my early 20s that I really began to explore the relationship aspect more deeply. Going through a transformative healing journey after that difficult relationship made me start researching boundaries, healthy conflict resolution, and everything my previous relationship had been missing. But the truth was, I had never been taught how to set boundaries, fight fairly, or recognise gaslighting, narcissism, and emotional abuse. Rebuilding my self-esteem, which was extremely low after being put down for so long, was a long process. Yet, I learned the tools for cultivating truly healthy relationships.
I spent several years working as a teacher, whilst also obtaining my certifications in sex, love, and relationship coaching. I've since added breathwork and meditation certifications, as I believe mindfulness work is integral to improving your relationship with yourself. I'm now in the most stable and fulfilling relationship of my life, having been with my partner for 6 years. We continuously put in the effort, show love and affection and prioritise our relationship.
All of these experiences have led me here - I am passionate about helping others, particularly women, to navigate the complexities of sex, intimacy, and relationships. Whether you're recovering from a bad relationship, exploring your own pleasure, or wanting to deepen the connection in your relationship, I'm here to support you. Most of all, I want to empower you in having the best relationship of all - the one with your wonderful self.
