Gaoth Dobhair journalist Áine Ní Bhreisleáin is presenting a new series on exploring the wellness industry in Ireland – body, mind and soul.

‘Sonas’, starting on Wednesday 19th March, is a four-part journey into the latest therapies and treatments that people are trying in the pursuit of happiness.

Áine has been on a journey of change over the past year with a pivot in her career as she tries to find more balance in her life.

From Kombucha to acupuncture, forest bathing to Wellfest, Áine attempts them all, meeting experts along the way.
