In 1997 Sean changed career from sales and marketing to begin working in the Health and Fitness Industry. After studying at the National Training Centre Dublin in Exercise & Health and Sports & Remedial Massage Therapy, Sean worked as a Personal Trainer at the prestigious Iveagh Fitness Club, Dublin.

Riverdance:

Sean began 1999 working for himself with 2 roles combining teaching fitness classes at the Gardai headquarters in the phoenix park and an injury prevention role with the Cavan Senior football team. Seans biggest break came that same Year when he went on tour with Riverdance as a massage therapist. He began a 4 Year period touring with the Liffey show in Europe, Scandinavia and South East Asia. Gaining a wealth of knowledge and working alongside renowned physiotherapist Ruth Magee, his learning curve was steep. Working in over 25 Countries during this period it also provided an opportunity to learn bodywork skills from around the World. In his 4 Years with the show Sean visited massage colleges on a weekly basis to further enhance his skills. In total he performed more than 6000 treatments with the show taking care of the dancers and musicians. The touring lifestyle takes its toll on the body and Sean played a vital role in injury prevention and performance enhancement.

McLaren:
In 2002 while speaking at a massage school on Birmingham, Sean was approached by the McLaren Formula 1 Team and was recruited to aid the performance of Formula 1 racing drivers David Coulthard, Kimi Riakkonen and Test driver Alex Wurz. He spent 2 seasons with the team ensuring the drivers were able to perform at their best. Spending quite a bit of time in Monaco where the drivers were located and also travelling to and from test and race venues Sean amassed his fair share of air miles.

Further Studies and setting up BPI:                                                           Combining Western techniques with Oriental techniques is what Sean strives to achieve. It is this Global approach that seperates him from most other therapists. In his time on the French Riviera he made regular visits to study Ancient Nuad Bo Ruan in Thailand. This is a technique that combines regular compressions with yoga style stretching. He studied Level 1-4 at the ITM Massage School in Chiangmai and also on a separate occasion he also studied at the Thai massage School again in Chiangmai.
