Who We Are
Michael Corr
Director
I have always been “mad about the mind”—its ability to empower individuals to achieve extraordinary things as well as its capacity for profound distress when left unchecked – and I have built my career around understanding the mind’s incredible power. Starting as a Registered Mental Nurse (RMN) in the 1980s and later qualifying as a Registered General Nurse (RGN), I worked in acute psychiatry, cognitive therapy, and behavioral science, among other areas. My journey then led to leadership roles in the healthcare industry, including Managing Director, CEO, and founder of medical device business.
I’ve witnessed the mind’s incredible potential to inspire success and resilience in personal and professional spheres, but I’ve also encountered its darker sides, where unresolved challenges lead to the ultimate sacrifices.
What continues to inspire me is the potential we all possess to transform our lives by understanding and harnessing the power of our thoughts. I believe that at any age and in any circumstance, it is possible to leap forward by gaining control over the quality of your thoughts. My mission is to help others unlock this potential, face their internal struggles, and harness their mental energy for personal growth and fulfillment.
My Credentials
- Registered Mental Nurse (RMN)
- Registered General Nurse (RGN)
- Extensive clinical experience in psychiatry, cognitive therapy, and behavioral science
- Leadership roles in the healthcare industry, including Managing Director and CEO
- Owner and operator of a lakeside retreat focused on wellness and transformation
Through years of study and hands-on experience, I have developed a simple yet highly effective process for accessing the subconscious mind. This method helps individuals understand why they think the way they do and provides them with opportunities for meaningful change. Whether guiding people through their personal challenges or empowering them to achieve their goals, my approach is centered on unlocking the enormous energy of the mind while addressing the “demons” that hinder progress.
Alison Benson
With over 20 years of experience in the leisure industry, I have dedicated my career to promoting the synergy between physical and mental well-being. My journey began as a fitness instructor and expanded into roles in sales and management, where I had the privilege of supporting countless individuals in their health and wellness goals. As a founding member of Pulse Triathlon Club, now one of the largest in Ireland, I have witnessed the transformative power of community and competition in inspiring personal growth and resilience.
As a mother of two daughters—one neurotypical and one neurodivergent, I have gained profound insights into the importance of adaptability, resilience, and self-compassion. These personal experiences have deepened my commitment to fostering mental fitness alongside physical health. I firmly believe that exercise is a powerful tool for enhancing emotional well-being, while you may enter uncertain, you always leave feeling lighter, stronger, and more energised. My mission is to empower others to prioritise their personal growth and equip them with the tools to thrive in every aspect of their lives.
My Credentials
- Bachelor’s Degree in Leisure Management, University of Glasgow
- Diploma in Personal and Business Coaching, Irish Life Coach Institute
- Currently pursuing an Honours Degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, IICP (Institute of Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy)
My lifelong dedication to wellness extends beyond the workplace. I have established a hiking group with members aged 25 to 82, fostering community and inclusion through shared outdoor experiences. I have also coordinated numerous mental health awareness initiatives, including walk-and-talk groups, and organised multiple triathlon events to raise funds for the Irish Cancer Society, Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital and Cystic Fibrosis Ireland. These endeavors reflect my passion for creating spaces where people can connect, grow, and find strength in themselves and their communities.
