Bernie has been helping people to improve many aspects of their physical and emotional wellbeing for over 20 years. Her initial years were spent as a nurse, working in different countries around the world.
Bernie’s belief in a holistic approach to general wellbeing led to her study reflexology, and over the years she helped many clients to experience a better quality of life. Through her work, she became further intrigued by the mind/body link and the feedback she received served to energize her passion for holistic therapies further.

In her former career, Bernie also held the position of Manual Handling Advisor for the Health Service Executive in Ireland for six years, and in that time developed extensive experience in delivering and designing training workshops to the staff at all levels, and providing mentoring and motivational assistance to course participants. Through this role, Bernie rediscovered her first love of teaching, and decided to further her expertise by embarking on a four-year BA degree in Training and Education.

When Bernie discovered the Style Coach™ Diploma Course she instantly recognized the intrinsic value of the process and was fascinated with its light-hearted but highly effective holistic philosophies. In 2006, Bernie joined Tracey and Kate in Dublin, Ireland, where she trained to become Ireland’s leading Style Coach™. Since then, Bernie has gained a wealth of experience dealing with clients of all age groups and from every walk of life, and has delivered large workshops to audiences of thousands of people.

Bernie and fellow Style Coach™, Grainne Smith, together with an established makeover.ie, a six-week makeover program for charity, where a number of clients are ‘Style Coached’ and a high-profile competition is then held for the best ‘inside and out’ makeover. The many reveal shows are always a huge success, with an audience of over 600 people on each occasion. All monies raised through makeover.ie are donated to charity with four shows hosted in different locations each year. makeover.ie continues to receive incredible media interest from newspapers and magazines, and Bernie has regular nationwide radio and television interviews/guest appearances.

Bernie has become an irreplaceable member of the Style Coaching™ team and facilitates our Style Coach™ and personal stylist courses in London twice a year. She loves interacting with her students, sharing her knowledge, and her extensive experience!
