Hi, I'm Niamh, a corrective exercise and movement coach for women. Grounded in biomechanics, my coaching relieves nagging pain, rehabilitates the core and pelvic floor and improves strength and mobility.
I discovered corrective exercise and functional movement training after having battled with back pain since my early 30's; which later ended in a prolapsed disc following the birth of my first son. Corrective exercise and movement training addresses muscular imbalances, postural assymetries, and movement dysfunction whilst improving strength and mobility. For women—whether you're recovering postpartum, managing chronic pain, or just seeking better strength and mobility, expert-led training can help restore balance, reduce pain, and improve long-term movement. I am passionate about females investing in the longevity of their physical bodies and feeling strong, mobile, functional and pain free.
I leave no stone unturned - SOMA's main mission is to ensure women are not left to assume that their female anatomy and life experiences (pregnancy, motherhood, menopause) dictate their pain, dysfunction, posture and athletic endeavours.
Females need to navigate dramatic musculoskeletal changes related to pregnancy, postpartum recovery and menopause - these lifestages can impact functional movement patterns, incidences of pain or dysfunction and athletic performance. SOMA aims to coach, empower and motivate females who are investing in the the longevity of their physical bodies by arming them with the right tools, knowledge and appropriate training

Niamh has really helped me with strengthening & pain relief postnatally. Following a programme on the Train Heroic app gives me the routine I need to make time for my training & the videos are really helpful. During 1-1 sessions, Niamh takes the time to figure out the root cause of areas of pain, tackling issues that have been ongoing for years. She is great to work with & always very encouraging, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
