Irish Examiner’s Feelgood delivered a standout live event in Cork’s Marina Market, drawing over 150 women to a morning of expert-led sessions centred on health, wellbeing and movement. Hosted by Life/Style editor Esther McCarthy and Feelgood editor Irene Feighan, the gathering featured keynote speaker Laura Dowling (The Fabulous Pharmacist), a panel discussion with Siobhán O’Donovan (The Boobie Physio) and Catherine O’Keeffe (Wellness Warrior), and an inclusive barre class with Emma Barry Murphy, designed for participants of all fitness levels.

As part of Feelgood’s 25th anniversary programming, the event spotlighted women’s health issues such as pelvic awareness, hormonal literacy, posture and self-advocacy in healthcare. The strong audience response highlighted the demand for immersive, editorially-rooted experiences. For brand partners, the event demonstrated the benefits of premium alignment with a trusted media brand, deep engagement through live participation, and authentic audience connection in a context of learning, wellness and trust. Sponsors PrecisionBiotics and Ireland’s Blue Book capitalised on the opportunity to connect with a highly engaged, health-focused audience.

Feelgood September Reset Live also reflects the Irish Examiner’s broader expansion of its health and wellbeing offering. This includes a refurbished digital hub, fresh contributions from trusted experts, and engaging video content such as features with Derval O’Rourke. Looking ahead, there will be even more opportunities for brands to align with premium health and lifestyle coverage, including the return of Feelgood Season in January 2026. With live events, multi-platform content, and editorial authority, the Irish Examiner offers an unparalleled platform for brands seeking meaningful association with Ireland’s leading health and wellbeing conversations.
