Mike and Carina Collins have spent years helping thousands of people of Irish ancestry from all around the world to break down their brick-walls and have lots more fun when doing so!
They are based in a cottage in County Cork in the south of the country – but spend a lot of time on the road around Ireland working on behalf of their members. They have a combined 40+ years experience in both online and offline training, coaching and education – and have built online educational platforms for clients in a number of industries. Along the way, their hobbies have always involved storytelling, local history, writing, photography and traveling the lovely island of Ireland that they are fortunate to call home.
Mike and Carina produce “A Letter From Ireland” and The Green Room.” More info at: https://youririshheritage.com and https://www.aletterfromireland.com/.
