Passionate about delivering female-focused training programmes that will rehabilitate pain & injury, train your core and pelvic floor and get you returning to your sport & feeling your best!
Females need to navigate dramatic musculoskeletal changes related to the growth spurt, pregnancy, postnatal 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
Hi, I'm Niamh, a female movement and exercise specialist. I work with females navigating their active lifestyles from adolescence, pregnancy, motherhood and beyond. I am passionate about females feeling strong, capable, functional and pain free.
I bring together years of experience working with athletes, young training dancers and women in their maternal years. I combine my knowledge in pre and postnatal corrective exercise, functional anatomy, movement mechanics, posture and alignment and exercise prescription to deliver females well informed training programmes that target unresolved pain and injury, pelvic floor function, strength, mobility, physical performance and muscle imbalances. I can honestly say that I leave no stone unturned - I'm passionate about females investing in the longevity of their physical bodies - SOMA's core ethos is to ensure women are not left to assume that their female anatomy and life experiences (growth spurt, pregnancy, motherhood, menopause) dictate their pain, dysfunction, posture and athletic endeavours.

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 exercises & 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.
