Cian McDonnell Founding Member / Managing Director of Gold Standard Physiotherapy After completing primary school in Burgess, I went to secondary at Nenagh C.B.S (which is of course only down the road from our Home Clinic!). Post-Leaving Cert, I went to University College Dublin, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Physiotherapy and Performance Science Degree. So fortunate to love the career path I chose, I’ve gone on to complete a number of Post-Graduate courses in the intervening years. For example, I also hold qualifications such as a Master’s Degree in Sports Performance (from the University of Limerick) alongside “Level 3” CPSEM accreditation. I’m also currently on the verge of completing the BSLM Diploma in Lifestyle Medicine, a healthcare area I’m hugely passionate about. After graduating from UCD in 2009, I continued to develop my professional skill-set whilst working in a number of excellent private practices in Ireland, the United States and New Zealand. By 2012, I felt ready to start my own practice and so began Gold Standard’s relationship with the Mid-West public, who have been so unbelievably supportive – I really can’t ever thank them enough. Possessing over 50,000 hours of first-hand experience at this stage, I feel privileged to be able to say I’ve worked with: + Elite Sporting Teams (such as the Senior All Blacks’ Rugby team, Irish International Soccer teams and Scottish International Soccer teams) + State Bodies (such as the HSE / Healthy Ireland) as well as + Local Authorities (such as the Tipperary County Council and the Limerick City and County Council). While I’ve a huge interest in all Physiotherapy disciplines, I particularly enjoy providing Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy to the General Public (i.e. treating various muscular, bone, tendon, ligament, joint, and cartilage injuries of theirs, which can be felt as neck / shoulder / back / hip / knee / foot pain etc. etc.). As referred to above, I’m also massively into Lifestyle Medicine (which centres around Diet, Physical Activity, Sleep Quality, Stress Management, the Avoidance of Harmful Substances and having Positive Social Connections).
This experience will permit deep rest and reintegration in a way that the push and pull of life interrupts and delays.

women’s circle
openly, and feel safe. To sit in a deeply nourishing space and experience connection, support with like minded, like hearted women.
In other words, “a women’s circle is a safe and sacred space for women to come together, use their voices, be heard and be seen.”
When was the last time you fed your soul with happiness?
When you join in our Soul Happy Circles, you experience a sense of belonging and community. Showing up for yourself and others to evolve alongside other women. The beauty is you will all be different from each other; different ages, backgrounds, life experiences, cultures, etc. Being part of this kind of group is rich with support, being held and seen, and creating a deep sense of belonging which is innate in our human design.
As we regularly connect deeply with others, we will also be deeply connecting and learning about ourselves. This can start to benefit our life outside of circle as we are unloading our ups and downs regularly which saves room in our daily life to simply be happy.
Studies show that women with strong female bonds and support groups are more successful in many areas of their lives! Bonus! As we feel supported, we are more able to manage life’s ups and downs.
We will have a different theme each month and talk, share, listen, laugh, cry, meditate, have gudied visualisations, dance, sing, create, shake, stretch, heal and drink tea. Whatever we do we will do with the heart.
Come and feel the power of our Soul Happy Circle.
What are Women’s Circles?
Circles are a time to…
- Unload and release the pressures and stresses in your life
- Listen to your own needs, share what needs to escape your thoughts, and connect back into who you are or want to be
- Heal the wounds you may feel for other women and learn to connect deeply with women of all different journeys and walks of life
- Take off your masks and life roles and leave them at the door, this time is for you
- Share your truths and deepest thoughts
- Create a supportive community (maybe you’ve never felt this before)
The space is…
- Non-judgemental
- Playful
- Nourishing
- Freeing
- Confidential
- Magical
- FUN!
With social support comes friendship, practical and emotional support. With emotional support we offer and receive concern, affection, love, empathy, trust, and encouragement. In essence, support brings warmth and connection. These are the fundamental building blocks to us growing and maturing in an emotionally healthy way.
They are the essential building blocks to mental fitness and resilience. If you would like to meet new people and form meaningful friendships, Soul Happy’s Women’s Circles pave the way for opportunities to connect with people who share your interests and deeper personal values. Connections matter. Being connected to others is important for our mental and physical well being and can be a protective factor against anxiety and depression.
Location: In-person circles will be held in indoor and outdoor spaces.
