WHO ARE WE?

We are Leah and Tia, two Registered Nurses.

We first met when we began working in the same hospital together in Dublin in 2023. We immediately became friends and discussed our shared love for women’s health. We both decided to go and pursue a Masters Degree in DCU which has been challenging but its something we are so passionate about.

We decided to create Soluma Health to educate women on their own bodies. We now work with women of all ages and empower them with knowledge. We have found that through social media people are encountering a lot of inaccurate and quite honestly dangerous information spread about women’s health and we want to provide a space where the information being shared is factual, accurate and educational.

Unfortunately, we hear of many cases where women reach out to healthcare professionals regarding an issue they are having in relation to women’s health and they are dismissed. We want to provide a safe space for women where they can share their own experiences if they want to and they can find the relevant information they need through our website, social media platforms, blogs or through our nurse led consultations. We want to enable women to understand their own bodies better and become better advocates for themselves..

  • Hi, I’m Tia. I have been a qualified nurse for 3 years. I trained in Trinity College Dublin and did my clinical training in Tallaght University Hospital.

    I began my career in an Emergency Department and then worked on a General Surgical unit for 2 years. I now work on an Oncology and Palliative Care ward.

    Throughout my career I have cared for women experiencing issues with women’s health in many different aspects whether it has been in an emergency situation, pre or post operatively or during my time working in oncology.

    I wanted to expand my knowledge of women’s health and when the opportunity arose to go back to college and study this specialist area I couldn’t let it pass me. I want to be able to provide a higher level of support and care for women.

    Unfortunately, I have heard too many times that women have been dismissed by healthcare professionals and by doing my MSc in women’s health I hope to pass on my knowledge to other healthcare professionals to improve my women’s experiences with healthcare.

    I have experienced my own struggles with women’s health which I think will add to how I can help other women. Women’s health is very personal but I hope that we can build a community where every woman feels supported.

    Women’s health needs to improve. Women need better education so that they can advocate for themselves and receive better care.

  • Hi, I’m Leah. I have been a qualifed nurse for 5 years now. I trained in UCD and St Vincent’s University Hospital. I have spent my career around surgical nursing, including gynaecology, colorectal and urology. I’m currently finishing my MSc in Women’s health in DCU.

    I have always been passionate about women’s health. Growing up, I saw how varied women’s experiences could be and how unhear they felt. I wanted the system to do better for us.

    When I’m not working, you’ll mostly find me doing any form of activity whether that’s in the gym, on a yoga mat or up a mountain. I am a massive advocate for lifestyle improvement and holistic approaches to health. I find movement to be the best thing to help me unwind and feel good in myself.

    I believe women deserve better which is why i’m so delighted to get the opportunity to create this space.
