In August 2017, Beth Francis was diagnosed with chronic migraine and saw the life she wanted slowly crumbling away before her eyes. Instead of being full of life, she found herself tired, in pain and lethargic most days. But she decided to try and retake control of her health by using the best resource she had available – the sea.
The documentary, 100 Days of Vitamin Sea documents the journey of Beth and her partner Andy, in their attempt to regain health and connect with the natural environment around them.
Beth and Andy are now involved in a research project looking to apply the therapeutic benefits of cold water swimming to help other migraineurs. Beth and Andy won “Best Team Performance” at the 2018 WEGO Health Awards
On the 11th of September as part of Migraine Awareness Week 2019, Beth and her partner will attend the Irish premier of their documentary in the Irish Film Institute in partnership with The Migraine Association of Ireland.
There will be a panel discussion and reception following the screening.
Donna Cooney, Green Party Councillor and herself an avid sea swimmer, will open the premiere and chair the Q&A session afterwards.

Jane Whelan, a qualified yoga teacher and herself a chronic migraine sufferer, will present a seminar on the therapeutic benefits of yoga for migraine. She will also give an overview of the styles of yoga which may be more suitable for migraine sufferers.
Jane will then lead a practical yoga class introducing attendees to a gentle routine they can use on a daily basis followed by a relaxation session.
This class will also benefit people with other chronic pain conditions and they are welcome to attend.
Please bring a yoga mat, a blanket and/or pillows/cushions to ensure you are warm and relaxed for the final relaxation session.
Yoga can offer many benefits to people who suffer from migraine. One of the key health attributes of yoga is its ability to reduce stress and it can also help improve autonomic balance in migraine patients. A 2014 research study into the benefits of yoga for migraine sufferers also demonstrated reduced heart rate and improved vagal tone. Vagal tone refers to the amount of activity in the nervous system and the stronger your vagal tone, the stronger your body is at regulating key organ functions.
