FIND THEIR GOLD.

Meet Virginia Foley, the mind behind Up She Rises.

Virginia Foley is a brand strategist at heart with decades of international experience helping businesses and women uncover what makes them unmistakably themselves.

Through her proprietary Find Your Gold™ Method, Virginia helps women reclaim clarity, self-trust, and leadership — not by fixing them, but by helping them stand fully in who they already are.

Up She Rises empowers women to get their excitement back — in their business, their leadership, and their sense of self.

Based in Cork and working globally, Virginia brings clarity, insight, and calm authority; helping women and businesses uncover their gold, sharpen their identity, and rise with confidence and impact.

Virginia’s Approach

Virginia’s transformative approach goes far beyond surface-level tactics, diving deep into core beliefs, mindset, and brand identity. Whether working with a person or a business, she has a rare ability to see things differently, uncovering clarity and opportunity where others see complexity.

Through her proprietary Finding Your Gold™ Method, Virginia combines decades of brand strategy, PR, and marketing experience with a creative, business-minded approach — offering the insight and strategic power of a full agency, tailored specifically to you.

Her guidance ensures growth is both strategically sound and profoundly fulfilling, helping you or your business step fully into its potential, aligning success with inner harmony and personal empowerment.

The Visionary


Virginia has a rare ability to see what's underneath the noise - in people and in businesses. She quickly identifies what's misaligned, what's being underused, and where  confidence and clarity have been buried.

Her work helps women move beyond self-doubt, overthinking and old conditioning; not by pushing harder, but by realigning identity, positioning, and leadership.

Through her vision, what was buried comes to light — and women begin to lead with authenticity and authority.

The Strategist


Virginia helps unlock belief so hidden ambition can surface and new possibilities come into view. She has a unique ability to help women see themselves differently; recognising their strengths, potential, and leadership long before they fully claim it themselves.

By aligning belief, identity and strategy, Virginia supports women to grow business and careers that reflect who they really are. As belief strengthens, confidence follows; and women begin to fully own their voices, their ambition and their becoming.

Through her guidance, hidden potential becomes visible, and women rise fully into the leaders they were always meant to be.

"Your gold is already within you — my job is to help you see it, own it, and lead from it."

It’s time to rise — uncover your gold, step into your confidence, and move beyond what’s holding you back.
