"I attended one-to-one training sessions with Noirin specifically for a longstanding ankle problem, which has improved significantly. However, since I started working with Noirin I feel stronger and fitter generally and have a range of exercises that I can do easily at home to maintain strength as I retrain my body to work more efficiently and effectively.
Noirin has an deep knowledge of how the body works, and an impressive resource of exercises that she works with you to target any area of the body that needs to be strengthened. She is professional and patient, and while she can be firm she is also responsive to your limitations.
I would highly recommend Noirin and her classical pilates training."

"I attended Noreen for help and assessment of an ongoing shoulder issue which was impacting on the quality of my life because of pain and severe range of flexion. ( I should mention that I had had the MRI, consultant anti inflammatory injection, and physiotherapy with minimal effect.) Noreen’s diagnosis treatment and management of my condition was proactive, informative and effective. I felt positive changes in pain levels mobility from Day 1. By my fourth treatment my flexibility and range or movement had increased by at least 70%. Noreen encouraged me to follow an exercise regimen which gave me great control over my posture, balance and pain relief which increased my motivation with exercises. Within six weeks I was able to close my bra and zip up dresses.I have returned to my golf and the slight aches post swings are so easily dealt with the many techniques I learnt from Noreen. To summaries, Noreen is highly experienced in her field. She has a deep understanding of the physics of movement and balance. From day one under her care I felt safe, cared for and positive. Noreen empowered me to take responsibility for my rehabilitation and has given me an awareness of my posture and joint movements which I never had. Dublin will be at a loss with out her clinic but I sincerely wish her all the best in Sligo."
Thank you Noreen

"After nearly 30 years of having acute back pain and having tried every variant of traditional and non traditional medicine to no avail; I was recommended to Noirin. When we first met my condition was so bad that I had difficulty bending down to tie my shoe laces. Noirin set me a range of exercises and stretches that changed my life. Under her patient tutelage I was able to both restore flexibility and eradicate the pain in my back. Not only am in now mostly pain free for the first time in my adult life, Noirin has helped me understand the issues that might act as a catalyst for further issues and how to be proactive in addressing any problems. Noirin literally transformed my well-being I can’t recommend her highly enough."

"I've had back issues for nearly 20 year and have been to lots of different physios & chiropractors as well as doing Pilates for years while living in London. When I moved back to Dublin Noirin was highly recommended to me. The results I've see with Noirin are amazing, I'm much stronger & no longer need physios. I only wish I have come across Noirin sooner. I can't recommend her enough."

"My sincere thanks to Noirin McCarthy for her care and attention in helping me to recover from post-partum pelvic floor issues & lower back pain. I initially started attending Noirin at 6 months post-partum, when I was feeling particularly weak and somewhat self-conscious about my issues. Noirin quickly identified the areas of weakness and through working with her to stabilise and strengthen my core and pelvic floor muscles, I am now stronger, more confident in my body’s ability to heal itself, and happily pain free. Noirin is so empathetic and encouraging - I would look forward to each session with her knowing I would feel so much better and stronger! I am so grateful to Noirin and would highly recommend her."

"When I first came to Noirin almost 3 years ago, ordinary everyday chores such as picking up shopping bags, carrying laundry baskets and emptying the dishwasher were problematic due to constant back pain. Now, I’m picking up dead weights of 24kgs with no issue and no pain ! It’s no exaggeration to say that Noirin has changed my life and that Reformer Pilates has reformed my posture, my balance and my core strength. "

"I have brought two problems to Norin over the years. One was a long term knee issue and the other was persistent muscular pain in my back, following a fall. I was deeply impressed by her ability not just to understand the problems but to “read” my body. She immediately saw what was going wrong and was able to work with me on a series of exercises which could address the issue.
Not all of it was easy and it took a lot of application and practise to get the best out of her recommendations. But I can say that she has really transformed things for me. Norin has real knowledge and empathy and extraordinary skills. I am very glad that I met her. "

I was very sorry to hear that you were moving to Sligo. You made such a positive impact on my life over the past 3 years that it was a shock to hear that you were relocating.
I could hardly stand up straight when I went to you first. From our initial meeting I gradually improved and everyone remarked as I began to straighten up thanks to your expert Pilates instruction and exercises.
Your Pilates exercises always worked wonders for my sciatica and still do. I hope that you quickly establish a successful practice in Sligo. With warmest regards

I’m writing a testimonial (a first for me) because I feel lucky to have found out about Noirín from a friend when I needed help. Thanks to Noirín’s skill I felt better and was able to move better after every session.
From working with her I’m stronger, and she has taught me how to better manage a wonky gait and achy joints from inflammatory arthritis. I’ll miss her sessions - but am glad to have the daily stretches she taught me that work well.
Sligo - she is very talented, I think she has X-ray eyes to see into bodies to know how to fix them.

I was a client of Noirín’s for several years before she moved from Dublin. I strongly recommend Noirín as she is highly skilled, very experienced and thoroughly professional. Her in-depth expertise of Pilates, coupled with a knowledge of other disciplines, enables her to tailor activity to each client’s own needs, with excellent results. To work with her is to know you are in safe, capable and thoughtful hands.

I first attended Noirin when I was struggling to recover from shoulder surgery. I still had pain and restricted movement that prevented me from playing golf and other upper body exercises.
With Noirin's help I strengthened my upper body and learned to use the relevant muscles properly, eliminating pain and enabling me to recommence playing golf and tennis.
I continued to attend Noirin regularly for more than 3 years after that - improving my overall flexibility and range of movement.
Noirin brings her clinical knowledge and practical experience to bear on her clients, improving their quality of life. I highly recommend her.
