The Yoga With Maura platform hosts retreats, events, workshops, and online classes. Maura believes yoga is for everybody, and that everyone’s body is different.
Gráinne Byrne – Norma
Intimacy education shouldn’t be hard to come by, and with Norma, it’s not.
Gráinne Byrne set up her live and interactive workshop platform following her experience with vaginismus, and the lack of accurate and sensitive information she could find about the condition.
She wants to create a world where intimate issues are properly addressed and not just dismissed as ‘normal’. The expert-led platform includes resources, articles, and information about upcoming workshops.
Shawna Scott – Sex Siopa
When Shawna Scott moved from Seattle to Ireland, she noticed a serious gap in the market for sex shops… at least, ones she was comfortable going into.
So, she decided to set up her own online store that focused on female and non-binary pleasure. In 2012, Sex Siopa was born, and they’ve been selling beautifully designed sex toys and accessories made exclusively from body-safe materials since.
