About Miffy Hoad

I'm a wife, a mother and grandmother, a lover of dogs and the natural world, including all things mystical and existential.

My daily self care and spiritual practices have become ever more important to me and my wellbeing.

Becoming a naturalised citizen of Ireland in 2021 meant a lot to me as I consider myself Irish, despite being born in Wales.

My background is mainly in training development and evaluation with twentyfive years experience specialising in personal development, stress management and mindfulness.

We all experience some form of adversity in our lives and reframing trauma as things that have happened 'for' me rather than 'to' me has been a game changer.

My own experiences, challenges and practices always inform my work. My passion is ignited when I see people empowered through practices that promote wellbeing, resilience & hope.

I trained as a Life & Business Coach in 2007. and in 2021 completed an advanced diploma in Coaching for Mental Health & Wellbeing, establishing myself clearly in this niche of coaching.

Since 2001 I have been developing and facilitating original programmes and classes on a freelance basis to groups and organisations in the community where I live.

I'm also a registered facilitator for ASIST - Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training, Safe TALK, Stress Control and Understanding Self Harm that I deliver on behalf of H.S.E & National Office for Suicide Prevention.

I have worked in mental health promotion roles in public service for ten years, four of those as a Social Prescriber with the Health Service Executive in Ireland and six years as a development officer with a leading charity, Mental Health Ireland. I maintained my coaching practice throughout as a 'side hustle'.

I transitioned from the 'security' of the well-paid, permanent, pensionable job and launched The Daisy Coaching Hub in Summer of 2024, providing my services to individuals and groups for personal growth, mental health & wellbeing.

My mission is to help you reconnect with your authentic personal power through one to one coaching, group classes and original resources that support, nurture and energise you.

So if you are feeling stressed, stuck, depleted and burned out, or know you need to change direction in some way but don't know how to start, drop me a line and we can arrange a free discovery session to explore your next steps.

Warm wishes
