Donna Curtin has been practising meditation for over 20 years and is an Associate Teacher with the Centre for Mindfulness Ireland.

She has held mindfulness workshops for the VEC, LIT, Carers Ireland, the Daughters of Charity and others.  Based in Limerick she runs the eight week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Programme.  Donna also runs one day and weekend ‘Mindful Living’ workshops and retreats for groups and organizations.  She designed and delivered a seven week ‘Mindfulness for School Children’ programme at the Limerick School Project (2016).

With a well-established private psychotherapy practice in Limerick, she has also worked as a Student Counsellor at University of Limerick.  She designed and taught Personal & Career Development Training Courses in the Adult Education Sector for fifteen years.  She has lectured on the Post Grad Guidance Counselling Degree Programme at UL and facilitated Personal Development Groups on the Social Care Degree programme at LIT.  Donna is a member of the Irish Association of Humanistic & Integrative Psychotherapists (I.A.H.I.P.).
