Mícheál Ó Mathúna is an Irish author, workshop leader and integrative practitioner whose work centres on connection, empowerment and health. A Cork native, he brings over two decades of experience in personal growth and transformational change, drawing on his own journey and a wide range of therapeutic and contemplative practices. His work is shaped by his experience of burnout, depression, anxiety, exhaustion and self-abandonment in the pursuit of external expectations, and by the slow reclamation of inner authority that followed. This understanding informs his approach to change and integration, which emphasises presence, discernment and returning to what is true in the body. Mícheál is the founder of The Health Zone and host of the podcast of the same name, where he has engaged in long-form conversations with thinkers and teachers including Dr Gabor Maté, Dr Peter Levine, Dr Kristin Neff and Byron Katie. He holds an MA in journalism with new media and is trained in yoga and sound healing. His work is informed by a long-term personal practice in meditation, movement and relational awareness. He bridges contemporary therapeutic approaches and enduring wisdom traditions, remaining grounded in lived experience. Mícheál is also the founder of Autism Cork Global, an initiative supporting autistic individuals, families and professionals through education, advocacy and community building. In The Eleven New Commandments, Sarah’s lived experience and somatic knowing are shaped into clear principles and grounded practices, guiding readers through a journey of self-reclamation. Through intimate storytelling, the book invites us to trust ourselves, claim personal authority and live with integrity, presence and meaning.
