Hi, I’m Leah, the Community Health Worker based in Mallow. I’m passionate about helping people improve their health and wellbeing through simple, sustainable lifestyle changes. I believe that the choices we make every day—how we move, connect, rest, and care for ourselves—can have a significant impact on our overall health and quality of life.
I organise a variety of community-based health and wellbeing activities designed to support people of all ages and abilities. These include walking groups, reflexology and meditation sessions, dance fitness classes, gym programmes for women entering menopause, and men’s gym sessions. My goal is to create welcoming, inclusive spaces where people can improve their physical and mental wellbeing while building connections within the community.
Whether you’re looking to become more active, reduce stress, or simply meet new people, there’s something for everyone. I look forward to welcoming you to one of our events.
