I love alcohol. Gin, bubbles, cider, quality vodka and wine but they don't love me - in large doses. Alcohol + Ciara = Low Energy, unenthusiastic Ciara, and that is not a great combination.

We are living in a fast moving world where being busy somehow is a sign to some that we are more successful, popular or stressed than others. We need to Stop the Glorification of Busy, it is unhealthy, putting way too many demands on ourselves and is egotistical.

In June 2017, I was very privileged to undergo my Professional Positive Neuroplasticity Training with Dr. Rick Hanson Ph.d, a neuropsychologist, and the New York Times best-selling author of the books Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm, and Confidence  and Buddha’s Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love and Wisdom.

My name is Ciara McHugh and I am a qualified Life Coach and Reiki healer with years of experience working in the fast lane of the fashion industry .I used to say "work hard play hard" and had lots of fun times and incredible learning experiences doing so.
