Louise Ryan is a Dublin-born writer, poet and workshop facilitator now living in Westmeath.

A mum of two, she is a member of Inklings Writers Group, whose encouragement helped rekindle her passion for writing.

Louise writes poetry, some of which has been published in the Westmeath Examiner, and has also facilitated creative writing workshops. Returning to education as an adult, she earned a BA in Tourism and Management and an Honours Diploma in Further Education Teaching.

Drawing on her own lived experience of bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression, Louise has written a wellness guide designed to offer hope, encouragement and practical tools to others.
Blending personal reflection with poetry, the book explores gratitude, visualisation, affirmations, self-belief, self-love and positive thinking.

Through her writing, Louise hopes to help readers find their own silver lining and move towards healing, confidence and inner peace.
