I’m Holly, founder of Wellness Tours Ireland.
I believe travel is one of the most meaningful ways we can learn, grow, and connect. With years of experience as both a tour guide and yoga teacher, I’ve seen how movement, storytelling, and shared experiences create bonds that last long after the journey ends.
I’ve always been drawn to movement and meaning — a pull that’s carried me across more than 20 countries. My first 200-hour yoga teacher training took me to Nepal, a life-changing immersion into practice and philosophy. A few years later, I deepened my studies with a second training here in Ireland — closer to home, but just as rich in learning. I also hold a Diploma in Irish Studies with Galway University, which has deepened my connection to the culture, history, and landscape I love to share with others.
Connection, adventure, curiosity, and a good dose of fun!
In between, I spent five years guiding tours with some of the most respected names in the travel world. Those years taught me how to hold space — not just logistically, but emotionally — for people from all walks of life. Along the way, I discovered what I value most: connection, adventure, curiosity, and a good dose of fun.
I’m also deeply committed to growth myself. Next up is a restorative yoga teacher training. The nervous system fascinates me, and I’m forever exploring new ways to slow down, switch off, and just chill out. That same curiosity shapes how I guide, and it’s something I love sharing with my guests.
Renewed in body, mind, and spirit
As a mum of two young children, I know how easy it is to get caught in the cycle of doing, giving, and never pausing. I’ve felt the burnout of always being “on,” and I know the difference it makes to step away and recharge. That’s why I created Wellness Tours Ireland — to give others the space to rest, move, and reconnect, returning home with more energy, clarity, and joy.
My passion lies in sharing Ireland’s folklore, songs, and traditions, while also celebrating the diversity of our landscapes. I believe the best way to truly know a place is to meet its people, taste its food, and walk its land. Supporting local means the world to me, and every tour is built in collaboration with small businesses, teachers, craftspeople, and storytellers who pour their heart into what they do.
At the heart of Wellness Tours Ireland is the desire to create experiences that restore body and mind while sparking adventure, curiosity, and connection. Each journey is carefully shaped so you return home not only rested, but renewed in body, mind, and spirit.
