Ms. Misty StewartDirector of Mandarin Spa, Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong.

I have been a client of The Health Exchange since 2015. Their expert advice and ongoing monitoring has enabled me to improve my overall health, particularly my cardiovascular fitness. Despite my very busy work, family and travel schedule, they seamlessly continue to assist in helping me make healthy lifestyle decisions and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Mr. Andy RandallManaging Partner, Walkers

Dr. John O'Reilly and Dr. Sinead Sheridan have been invaluable assets in respect to our student's learning through the International Baccalaureate Sport, Exercise and Health Science Diploma programme. Their experience as sport scientist's has complimented our curriculum delivery and added an extra element of realism. Their knowledge, expertise and style of delivery has been influential in our students understanding of the methods and processes of scientific investigation.

Mr. Lee BurnsIB Teacher of MYP PHE & DP SEHS - Renaissance College

The Health Exchange offers a bespoke programme tailored to meet your specific health and fitness goals. In my case, it was building a body that will serve me going forward into the next decade of my life. Their programs succeed because they are based upon their comprehensive knowledge of human physiology and a deep understanding of what is exactly required in order for you to achieve these goals in a viable and sustainable manner.

Dr. Sheridan from The Health Exchange delivered a wellness seminar at our workplace on Exercise and Nutrition for Mental Wellbeing. The session was informative, interactive and it really resonated with me. Dr. Sheridan shared tips and inspiration on how to make small yet meaningful lifestyle changes to improve our overall health, and also tackled some widely believed health myths. I think sessions like these are really important, they remind us that no matter how fast-paced life in Hong Kong is, there are always little ways to look after ourselves and our mental health.‘

Ms. Martha Davey

"The Health Exchange provided a thorough and informative overview of Sports Science research methods along with an in-depth and detailed presentation of the IB SEHS internal assessment process. Dr. John O'Reilly and Dr. Sinead Sheridan were vibrant and knowledgeable presenters and were able to answer all my questions and offer excellent resources to support student learning. Because of the Health Exchange, I feel more confident in my ability to teach research methods content and to help my students achieve improved scores on their IA."
