We are welcoming our new Pilates Instructor Shuana Linnane, starting a new round of Pilates classes on 15th January.
Shauna is an Occupational Therapist with several years experience working in acute hospitals treating a broad scope of illnesses, injuries and disabilities. Shauna has spent time working as part of the general medical, cardiology, oncology, orthopaedic surgery, neurosurgery, general surgery, vascular surgery and ICU teams. As an Occupational Therapist, the goal is always to improve function and optimise independence – this is done by rehabilitating patients (working closely with other members of the multidisciplinary team including physiotherapy colleagues) or by developing strategies/providing equipment to compensate for a loss of function.
Shauna also has experience working in the HSE’s mental health service and as a volunteer for Ireland’s mental health crisis text line – Text About It. Shauna’s experience rehabilitating patients as well as her own love for Pilates prompted her to become a EQF Level 4 Mat Pilates Instructor in 2024, which is the highest level of qualification to teach mat Pilates in Europe. Shauna is also a member of the Register for Exercise Professionals Ireland, requiring her to complete ongoing continuous professional development courses to maintain high standards and continue her learning.
